Howdy there, partner! Welcome on into the Stacker Saloon.

Saddle on up to a stool and spill the beans about your day, fire away with them questions, or let loose and give us the lowdown on your wild and woolly life. We're all ears, so don't hold back!

We're open round the clock, so mosey on in whenever you please!

Five-six times in the last few weeks I'm not getting rewards anymore.

Like, there is a rewards pool, and I've posted (e.g., yesterday, three times, with plenty of zaps and commentary) but no rewards notifications and no sats.

What's up, browskiis? We want our participation bribes

reply

It's changed to zap rewards only during no-trust november.

reply

Huh, really? What does that mean?

It used to be a 25% reward of the pool for each of the rankings:

  • Early Zapper of posts
  • Early Zapper of comments
  • Top zapped posts
  • Top zapped comments

The bottom 2 are currently inactive.

Guess that explains it.

Did the team give some sort of reason/rationale for this?

Yes. You can do whatever the fuck you want and if you do it right, your term limit be up when the consequences start to be felt. The art of the "deal, or else".

Has anyone seen Marty Supreme yet? My wife and I went to see it tonight. I have a very low bar for movies. I can watch damn near anything. But, I found this one unbearable. I had to leave half way through and stand in the hallway reading SN posts.

Looking forward to your blistering review

Oh my gosh haha I’m so sorry to hear this. My friends told me to see it and I pretty much love Timothée
So, now I’m more curious. It must be divisive

Don't listen to me. My wife loved it, and every review I read thought it was fantastic. I don't know if it was the mood I was in or what. I had to really search high and low tonight to find even a single reviewer who agreed with me. It was very long, which may have been a factor. Timothee is good in it. He wasn't the problem. The story just didn't interest me at all.

I'm not going to make another post like I did yesterday, but Ocean hit five more blocks today already. I don't think their hash rate is soaring, so it must just be incredible luck.

If you're getting significantly more than half of what you usually get on a per-block basis, it's luck.

reply
100 sats \ 1 reply \ @siggy47 23h

Yeah, I'm sure it's luck. It is no fun when they go four days without hitting a block. Lately, though, Ocean has been on a roll.

reply

Ocean reports 20EH based on shares
Mempool.space reports 44EH based on blocks

So either Ocean is misreporting their hashrate, or they have over 100% luck the past 24h

Edit: or... someone is submitting external blocks with the Ocean coinbase tag?!? This would be how you mislead mempool.space

Hey @sox, I noticed the little markdown link is gone when posting. Is this temporary while the markdown stuff is being upgraded? If it's permanent, can I get it one last time to bookmark for my own reference? Thank you!

reply
50 sats \ 12 replies \ @sox 2 Jan

Hi! We removed the markdown link a while back because we were so focused on providing a great WYSIWYG experience that the link would have been redundant.

Then we switched to a gradual stage-based release and I think I just forgot about it, let's see what we can do.
In the meantime, here you go: https://guides.github.com/features/mastering-markdown/

I don’t think we will ever get rid of the Markdown Editor. We just want to provide an option for people that can’t/won’t use Markdown.

In fact, this editor is actually our new rich text editor, but we’re still writing in Markdown 😎

Yay!

In this case I was going through zhaodong's twitter history, tweet by tweet. Came across this interview. All the stuff around the LEO launch is pretty interesting.

reply

Wow. Dedication!

I was talking to this dude that is building systems for journalists and he promised he will send me a list of the FOSS tech stack he uses for AI-assisted case management so that I get to not have to figure it all out by myself. It's still on my list to build something for that as a self-hosted package, because I get really tired of manual labor involved with tracking shit.

I like to believe that scrolling through all these things helps me to notice stuff that I never could have got keywording.

(anecdotally, I have certainly come across details and connections I don't think I could have found any other way)

If, however, there is a better management system than very long .txt files, I am curious about it.

I agree. The problem I have is that I hate clicking load more on nitter. And the awful web.archive.org UX. And search results pages. And paywalls. And all the things.

So the idea is to programmatically extract all the links, images, dysfunctional paywall shit, videos, feeds... everything. And leech it. Then have an algo index it. Then NLP. And then finally anchor everything towards everything.

Then we can Sherlock everything. Find a new lead? Scrape the hell out of it and everything it links to and archive it all

"who is it to go?" Two miners have pulled down their pants. An alarm takes off. Big tings, big tings I whisper. The embarrassment of sounding different subsides. I could develop a whisper that is gracious and articulate without raising concern about the letter s, I'll become the quiet guy, the chilled guy in the super boots at the factory. That'll do.

A drone that looks like the other drone is stopped by a miner and they chat:
"I want to birth something
into the block,
for rent
with an indifference towards death
and,
if it could demonstrate the language to us
face to face - you know
the laughter, the tears -
then
we could split the difference?

I couldn't tell who said it. The pants down miners on the inflating rim, they giggle. I giggle.

Thesis: The more accepted and "boring" Bitcoin becomes, the more deranged its community becomes. With nothing interesting to discuss and no enemy to fight, the community begins to eat its own (see: Knots, quantum, etc.)

Bitcoin will prevail, and its most ardent proponents will cry about it every step of the fuckin' way.

Got a game dev friend looking for a project, would this interest you?

Bitcoin themed RTS: Hash and Conquer

Objective: 51% the network before your opponent

Map resources:

Start with a Pool:

  • Build influencers to attract Pleb Miners to boost your hash rate
  • Create FUD to attack your opponents hash rate

VC Factory:

  • Build-up founders create exchanges and Fake L2's to reduce your opponents block reward
  • Founders also build product that support your pool
  • VC's build shitcoins to attack your opponents influencers
  • Lead Treasury companies
    • Treasury companies acquire miners

NGO

  • Build Core Devs to tank FUD damage
    • Influencer damage multiplier
  • Run psyops to attract plebs and neutral miners to your pool

If there's interest I'll help him Crowdfund it

What other units/game dynamics would you like to see?

reply

Steam or browser?

reply

I'd probably suggest browser base but distribute via Steam

LOL "hash and conquer" hahaha good name !

This bug was caused by a coincidence of two things:

  1. someone signed up after landing on your territory, granting you a referral
  2. you changed from `~AG0RA` with a zero to `~AGORA` without one

When we tried to show you the referral notification we, incorrectly, tried to find `~AG0RA` with a zero.[1] This caused an error.

Thanks for reporting! It helped us uncover this sneaky bug.

  1. this had no foreign key relationship because it's stored as a polymorphic id. bah.

reply
100 sats \ 1 reply \ @AGORA 2 Jan

interesting, never changed the territory name. Could I perhaps have made a mistake and shared a wrong referral link like `stacker.news/~AG0RA/r/AG0RA` [1]?

  1. @sox just found another bug of the new editor lol, adding a territory between `code` tags brake the formatting

Hi! A notifications page crash can be attributed to a multitude of things. Investigating now.

@AGORA

  • when did this start happening?
    • did you receive a push notification right before this started happening?
      if so:
      • do you remember the kind or the content of the push notification?
  • does this happen only on one specific platform or both Desktop and Mobile?
reply
100 sats \ 3 replies \ @AGORA 2 Jan

Has been happening for few days, maybe weeks. I did not give it much importance as I know you guys are busy delivering new functionalities and assumed it was a temporary bug.

I've no push notifications enabled as I use Sn only on desktop browser.

I tried to log out and login back but nothing changes. What else could I try?

reply
0 sats \ 2 replies \ @sox 2 Jan

I see, okay, I tried to reproduce a variety of scenarios regarding the editor and I couldn’t find a fault.

Will check every other thing that the notifications page can display.

Don’t worry about me being busy with new functionalities, it is still my duty to keep everything in order 🫡

reply
