I did. I posted it on HN as a comment. It was a very popular (by my standards) comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40438288
The thread was interesting, with a lot of people posting rebuttals for why such a scheme would obviously not work. Equally obviously, someone else thought it was a good idea and went and implemented it.
