Announcements

Thanks to everyone who took the time to write great posts this week. I will continue these zap awards for a few more weeks.

Starting next week, this post will be converted to a newsletter. The only noticeable difference besides the name will be a "Top Posts Of All Time" section. This may be the beginning of some type of Index. I may also incorporate part or all of the pinned learning resources page into the newsletter. We'll see how it goes.

There will be a zap award for the top 5 posts weekly. It will be broken down as follows: 1. 2500 sats 2. 1000 sats 3. 500 sats 4. 500 sats 5. 500 sats Posts will be judged using SN zaprank. The cut off time is 9:00am EST (1300GMT) Friday morning. I will post the top 5 winners shortly after 9:00am every Friday morning.

Have a good week.

I really appreciated @anniedustan's post. I know this is the kind of post you were hoping for when you created this territory @siggy47. Stackers are such a great resource for info about bitcoin and much more approachable for newbies than bitcoiners on other platforms.

Agree 100%. She worded it well, which I think elicited good replies. Let's hope there's more of these type of posts.

Congratulations to everyone! You all have written some awesome posts. Thanks.

Where's my reward? 😄

Here we go again. Here's my view:

75 sats \ 21 replies \ @Coinsreporter 10 May

I already knew it. Just reminding everyone that global consensus is quite different from regional one.

32 sats \ 20 replies \ @siggy47 OP 10 May

Can you explain it here so that everyone (including me) understands it?

65 sats \ 9 replies \ @0xbitcoiner 10 May

I think he means that the top filter, due to the algorithm, looks different from stacker to stacker. To define winners I think it would be fairer to use anon mode.

Good suggestion. I'll start doing that.

54 sats \ 7 replies \ @Coinsreporter 10 May

No, not a good suggestion. When you do anon way, it will then show you the same results. May be because of your IP.

Here's the anon result on my mobile. They show the same results as with my nym

22 sats \ 0 replies \ @0xbitcoiner 10 May

The result is the same as my anon

edit: The ranking with your nym is the same as with anon because you zap few sats and it shouldn't make any difference to the algorithm.

Oh. Okay. As territory owner, I wonder if my view is more objective.

First of all, I think you know it and just being humble to say 'including me'.

Here's my explanation (that's what I think about it)—

Zaprank for posts on SN isn't same for everyone for various reasons. One reason is that they are personalized as @k00b mentioned it here #503564

Another reason that I mentioned is more related to the algo of SN. (Idk too much of it). I remember that one of our senior devs have mentioned somewhere that the global rankings for posts differ from personalized rankings. SN uses both in its algorithm. So, if I am sitting in India, I will see different ranks for posts than someone who is sitting in US or Europe.

Also, it depends on your personalized taste. The zaps you made and engaged with the posts.

I only have no clue for this — Does the territory owner/admin gets personalised rankings or global rankings?

The word consensus that I applied in the comment above means that a post may have had some more regional engagement than it did globally.

Global consensus = global zaprank

Regional consensus = regional /country/personalized ranking

I'm not an expert, so if you find it misleading or incorrect, I beg your pardon.

Thanks.

I've never read about this being the case, nor does it make any sense. But I could be wrong.

Edit

a post may have had some more regional engagement than it did globally.

As now clarified, it stands that SN doesn't consider geographical locations for deciding zapranks. It's just personalized and global consensus that ultimately decides what rank a post sits under the results for 'TOP'.

Thanks. I think I'll take @0xbitcoiner's suggestion and log in as anon next week. I just have to remember. I'm a little slow in the morning before drinking my gallon of coffee.

54 sats \ 5 replies \ @Coinsreporter 10 May

Take a look.

anon

on My nym

Same results.

Interesting. I think we need to get input from @k00b.
