As the WordPress database entity relationship diagram shows, comments are limited to being in the wp_comments table and the wp_commentmeta table, which is convenient. … Read more
You can allow anonymous comments in WordPress in wp-admin/options-discussion.php: Just do not check Comment author must fill out name and e-mail. There is a small usability catch: Sometimes users may just forget to fill in their data. I have added a small JavaScript confirm message box asking if they really want to send as anonymous … Read more

You should really pick one or the other. They are both designed to replace your existing commenting system and both take over the commenting functionality. Discuss does it by inserting javascript and jetpack uses an iframe.

Each time you change something, you make a commit: A short note explaining the difference between the last and the new version (example). Usually, when … Read more

Taking a quick look at comments.php, I can say – using custom comment type is so far legal, however I didn’t played with this yet but you can, and post back with your results if you found any illegal stuff in this.
