No, this isn't an option.

Writing a blog post about "fixing security problems" will not attract new customers for 99.99% of startups, unless security is a core value prop for your product (Stripe, for example).

Your average Airbnb user does not read Hacker News, waiting to signup for security conscious services.

More so, writing a blog post about how you spent all day preventing XSS, SQLIs and similar vectors wouldn't even get to the top of Hacker News because these are mundane and basic problems with simple fixes. The reaction by a technical audience like HN would a simple "congrats...?" pat on the back.
