You keep the karma you've already received, but the project creator submitted the original post and also included the blog post in the comments (after it was too late to change the post URL) and we always prefer to give precedence to the person who submitted the first post about a topic. It's not personal or unusual, it's the way we've moderated HN for years.
Previously discussed, but I think that first submission fell off the frontpage early because it linked directly to the vapeserver which instantly died under load: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45243800
The dev shared their own work yesterday, it got attention and discussion, they added the blog post to the discussion, all was well, and then this submitter reposts the blog a day later, not their own content, and you're merging here? c'mon now. Give the source/dev some credit.

Why was this 4 hour old post marked as dupe and comments moved to a 9 minute old post by a new user (who I believe is the author of the article)?
Seems like the author posted in 20h before himself: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45243800
Do I still get karma?

Could you explain to me what is the appeal of chasing karma? I understand it at the beginning, when it unlocks features, but not after that.

It let out one last valiant puff of smoke after it succumbed to load.
Thanks, we merged that thread into this one.
