so i've been looking for ways to grow my lightning balance without constantly buying from exchanges. found a couple of browser extensions and tools that actually pay u small amounts of sats just for searching or viewing ads (like Slice or even some lightning-integrated apps).
i know its not gonna make anyone rich, but for someone new to the ecosystem, getting those first few hundreds sats feels pretty good.
does anyone here actually use these? or is it better to just focus on "value-for-value" posting? id love to hear if there are any other 'under the radar' tools for stackin sats daily that i missed. also, curious if anyone has tried linking these directly to their SN wallet.

I used to do all of those things. Now I have enough traction on Stacker News to just focus on posting and commenting.
I still think it's good to explore all those options when you're starting out to find what works for you.
Are you using Fountain to listen to podcasts?
Playing any mobile games that payout bitcoin rewards?
Or, using step counters that pay sats for your activity?
nice, congrats on reaching that level where SN is enough! hope to get there too.
i've heard of Fountain but haven't really spent much time on it. is the 'earn per minute' actually worth the battery drain?
as for the games and step counters, i tried a few but most felt like a full-time job for 10 sats lol. which ones are u actually using that don't feel like a total grind?
thx for the 69 sats btw, whoever that was! first ones i've earned here so it feels cool.
There's not a particularly bad battery drain from Fountain, compared to other podcatchers, as far as I know. Similar to the browser extensions you described, there are promoted episodes occasionally that can pay pretty well.
I think Fountain's the lowest hanging fruit in the bitcoin ecosystem. I don't know why any bitcoiner doesn't use it.
As for the games, yeah, they kind of suck. If you're inclined to playing mobile games anyway, they might be a worthwhile choice, but they aren't worth doing for their own sake.
fair enough. i guess i was overthinking the battery thing.
if fountain is that good, i'll definitely give it a spin tomorrow during my commute. any specific podcast recommendations that have those 'promoted episodes' often? or just any bitcoin show works?
and yeah, glad u agree on the games... spent an hour on one last week just to get like 5 sats, felt pretty dumb haha. sn definitely feels like a better use of time so far
Just listen to whatever you normally would.
Stacker News Live is presumably of interest, if you really want a recommendation.
makes sense. i'll check out SN Live first then, sounds like a good way to learn the ropes here faster.
rly appreciate the sats and the guidance man, u made my first day on SN way better than i expected. gna go explore fountain now and see what i can find. cheers!

GTFO scammer
LOL why not demand to be paid in BTC?
These games are stupid and mostly scams.
Playing these games is shitcoiner mentality, that feels he lost the train all these 15 years of not getting sats.
You pkayed with shitcoins until now? This is how you pay the price of ignoring bitcoin.
relax man, no need to be that harsh lol. i didn't lose the train, i just found the station late.
we all start somewhere. the reason i asked about games/extensions wasn't because i love shitcoins, it's because i'm trying to understand the whole ecosystem from scratch.
if u think games are a waste of time (which i'm starting to agree with), what's your advice for someone with 0 sats to actually provide value here? besides the 'just buy more btc' line
First you need to know very well how to use Bitcoin. So I suggest to start reading my guides about.
But if you came to SN with the idea of "earning sats"... you are wrong. SN is a "pay to post" not a "post to earn" game.
