I did a little bit of searching, but cannot seem to find the specific info I’m looking for.

Can someone link me to the new boost dynamics and tell me a little bit about how they work?

This is part of the No Trust November experiment.

Boosts count the same as zaps and items are purely ranked by how many sats they received (net of zaps minus downzaps).

Thanks for the reply.

How do I boost this post? I don’t see it anywhere?

In the home feed, I see a bunch of small boost amounts on some posts. What does that mean?

Thanks, man.

Seems legit. Is this to incentivize more boosting?

It's aimed at making things clearer - if you understand how zaps work, you understand how boost works now. We're noticing a lot of folks using it to signal I want to guarantee a minimum amount of visibility for this thing I'm sharing.

The set of changes are lightly described here and elaborated on here.

I like it, man. Solid work. I really like the removal of boost minimums.

I just read both of those posts and totally get it.

The way we figure it: bitcoin, and especially lightning, is confusing enough. Anywhere bitcoin can make something more transparent, we should use it that way. Then, maybe someday, on net, SN can be more transparent and easier to use than a comparable forum.
