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.
