Hacker News immediately linked Cloudflare’s 402 crawl experiment to x402

Community comments are signals, not facts. This thread shows protocol awareness among builders.

The 1 July 2025 Hacker News thread on Cloudflare pay-per-crawl included comments identifying Coinbase x402 as a related HTTP 402 micropayment design. zFinia treats this as TIER_D/C community intelligence: awareness and objections, not adoption proof.

Why it matters

Recurring questions in public threads are buyer-hand-raises. They are not Bazaar payer counts.
