I'll offer my two cents in case it gives another perspective you haven't considered. The meaning of voting on HN is far from obvious. Various people downvote for different reasons.
Maybe they are unimpressed by your comment, maybe they disagree with it, maybe they think it is inappropriate somehow, maybe they don't like that you plugged a particular cryptocurrency, or something else.
In any case, I recommend not worry about the votes, up or down. At times, it can be helpful to see if what you are writing is perceived as useful, if you can take the feedback in that manner without taking it personally.
Graffur, yes, I've read them. But I'd bet you know that; I think probably you are making another point. I'll write it out, and you can tell me if you agree. You are pointing out an inconsistency in what I wrote: you think it is unfair of me to suggest that someone else read the guidelines while at the same time not following them.
