To be fair, "gaming the system" is what SN's model implicitly assumes as given, and so the solution is to try to design a system that works well even under everyone's own self-interested behavior.
Maybe there should be a small incentive to attaching send wallets, like you get a boost in rewards, or your zaps are worth more trust.
The downside is that it makes it harder for SN to claim that "you can do everything with cowboy credits that you could do with a sat", and that opens up to more accusations of CCs being a shitcoin
I’ve said this before, you can have your sending wallet enabled and still not send any sats!
reply
I know, but you can't send sats without having an attached sending wallet.
reply
Yeah, what I meant is that you can have the gun badge and not actually send any sats. You can trick the stackers, making it look like you’re sending sats when you’re really not.

Yes. That's true. I think that might be along the lines of what Darth is talking about? @DarthCoin

Not sure if @DarthCoin knew about this, I’ve already talked to @ek about it and even told him how it’s possible to do. Back then, he didn’t even figure it out until I told him! Hahaha.

No, I am talking about a different thing, the flaw in the rewards system. You can receive sats (from rewards) even that you use only CCs (no wallet attached at all). People think that throwing their CCs to me (because they do not want them) is meaningless, but in fact they just give me more rewards in sats.
That's why I repeat: rewards system must be eliminated. Users and territories must survive only with what users are zapping. SN will get a fee. That's all.
You pay to play.

I was waiting this for November

36 sats \ 1 reply \ @ek 14 Nov
If you pay a QR code (which will show up if you don't have enough credits) with any lightning wallet, the receiver will also receive sats.

My brain can't grasp the subtleties SN built in for incentives. I think zappers don't stand to lose much, if anything, in this scenario, because some of the cc's they receive will turn into sats. I agree gaming might be a bit harsh. It can be a giant annoyance to connect and keep an attached send wallet. At the same time, established stackers with plenty of knowledge who don't make the effort perhaps deserve to be singled out?
reply
calling CCs a shitcoin is dumb. CCs are not a coin... are just credits to use SN. That's all.
Is really much easier to use CCs than an external wallet. In the end we are just shitposting on SN. Someday people will realize that Darth was always right...
reply
Have both send and receive enabled as I prefer to use sats. Coinos has been very reliable of late. SNs is one the few places I can actually use my sats.
The contest of ideas is more important than arsemilking sats. Systems build resilience because we use them...and die if we do not. Use your sats and use your freedom of speech...while and wherever you can! You can do both here on SNs!
Are people like @DarthCoin who deliberately avoid using sats and deliberately circulate shitcoin ccs even true Bitcoiners?
This is one of the few venues we can participate in and help build a circular Bitcoin economy yet they are deliberately bypassing and undermining it.
So much for the revolution @DarthCoin.
