Yesterday, I gave in to peer pressure and recorded a nostr vlog 🤠

Contains some reflections about the Baltic Honeybadger and BTCHEL 2025 conferences and the importance of community and connection with likeminded people in the physical world. Also sharing some thoughts on the "you can just do stuff" meme. Enjoy! Or don't, IDGAF. Peace! 🧡

@ek is there a way to search daily revenue for stacker sports for the past week without going through all the transaction logs?

Yes that will work. It breaks it down by day. I missed a day of logging revenue on my spreadsheet but I don't know which one. Haha

Thanks

the prosecutors office keeps sending me these very stern sounding emails saying I need to prove I'm a journalist and that the information is not public, but I emailed enough of them, that finally one person just sent me the decision. He was convicted. also there's another court date for him coming up this fall.

also, apparently they confiscated his watch. and now they have to wait 3 years for someone to claim it. It was a Longines with a leather band, but they are going to liquidate it (sell it?)

Edit: actually, I'm not quite sure about this.

Say stackers would want to downzap a boosted scam of, let's totally make up an arbitrary amount of 150k sats boost and 800 sats zaps. How much do stackers need to downzap for it to be outlawed?

176 sats \ 35 replies \ @k00b 20 Aug

Roughly the same number that upvoted it or half as many spending 10x more or a quarter as many spending 100x more.

I just can't fathom why so many people upzapped it.

42 sats \ 34 replies \ @optimism 20 Aug

Okay so if - hypothetically and in minecraft - i already downzapped more than it was upzapped, we just need 18 stackers downzapping 1 sat and we good?

142 sats \ 33 replies \ @k00b 20 Aug

At least 10 sats each. Zap weight is log10 of the amount.

100 sats \ 9 replies \ @Undisciplined 19h

Wait, do downzaps need to be at least 10 sats to matter?

142 sats \ 1 reply \ @k00b 18h

They matter at 1 sat, but only for informing the trust graph.

100 sats \ 0 replies \ @Undisciplined 18h

I wish that had occurred to me. I almost always downzapped 1 sat because I only wanted to add weight to the count without pushing too hard on size.

Basically, I just wanted to make it easier for others to get stuff outlawed.

42 sats \ 6 replies \ @optimism 19h

log10(1) == 0, because 10^0 == 1

However, log10(2) ~= 0.3, so, at least 2?

100 sats \ 5 replies \ @Undisciplined 18h

I get that. Did k00b just say it had to be at least 10 to balance out your 18 stacker count?

142 sats \ 4 replies \ @k00b 15h

Yep, if the goal is to outlaw, downzappers need to zap more than 1 sat.

Looks like it's outlawed now, but top boost doesn't consider outlaw status I guess.

I'll ship a fix.

110 sats \ 13 replies \ @k00b 20 Aug

Fixed. It's still the top boost in Wild West Mode but that's as intended.

I remember thinking about outlaws as I made the top boost mvp. I prefer demand response I guess.

102 sats \ 5 replies \ @optimism 20 Aug

Thought about the top boost demand-response theory. It would be a great way to maximize territory revenue to have scammer sats try to outbid honest boosts.

Morally, I think the downzap is better - because do we really want to make money off scammers trying to get victims?

I was pondering something else: Do downzaps go 70/30 to territory and rewards like fees? Would be better if these go 100% to rewards IMHO, because 70% is a huge incentive for territory owners to encourage crap content.

Now 35 zappers. Feels like a Sybil attack. Scammers be scamming. But shall anti scammers be anti scamming too?

100 sats \ 0 replies \ @k00b 20 Aug

The number of zappers is only part of it.

It's sum(zapper_trust*log10(zap_amount)) and sybils will have zapper_trust equal to zero.

As the teacher-in-charge of the basketball club, I get to chaperone them on matches.

I love this change of mental scenery! Each school has some unique feature that wowed me. I am impressed by the Lego workstation at Frontier Primary School - left unsupervised for children to flaunt their imagination. My son would love it here. Am also awed by the playground at Tampines Primary School which looks swanky new and won’t be out of place in the midst of HDB flats. What’s more, Tampines Secondary is located beside its primary counterpart. I enjoyed viewing how the facilities of these two schools were aligned in parallel to each other. Foyer, followed by canteen, etc. It’s like witnessing a parallel electrical circuit!

I am grateful for the opportunity to visit these two schools and hope to be able to explore more schools in the future.
