AnnouncementsAnnouncements
Welcome to the newsletter. I’m back on track with the newsletter, at least temporarily. Real life plans will cause another hiatus in mid February, and possibly also in March, but I’ll try to keep up as best I can. It was a good past two weeks. I am including @R4DENT0R’s latest ecosystem map in the index. Check it out.
Thanks to everyone who contributed, and have a good week.

Top 5 Posts Of The WeekTop 5 Posts Of The Week

There will be a zap award for the top 5 posts weekly. It will be broken down as follows:
- 1000 sats
- 250 sats
- 250 sats
- 250 sats
- 250 sats
Posts will be judged using SN zaprank. The cut off time is 9:00am EST (1300GMT) Friday morning. I will post the top 5 winners shortly after 9:00am every Friday morning.
I reserve the right to not award any sats for the week. I also reserve the right to deny sat awards to bare link posts. I recognize that link posts can be valuable, so I will only only exercise discretion for low quality links that garner few sats or engagement from stackers.

- Jameson Lopp’s website is an incredible resource for people interested in learning about bitcoin at any level. Beginners should go to his Getting Started With Bitcoin page. For those who can do without Lopp’s shitcoinery, here is a curated fork of the site.
- DarthCoin Guides
DarthCoin Guides provide excellent step by step instruction for those learning about nodes, particular wallets, and just about everything else in the ecosystem.
Here is a link to DarthCoin’s Github, where you can find all of DarthCoin’s guides:

- Top Posts Of All Time
Here you will find a few of the top posts to this territory. I am not going to adhere to a rigid zaprank system, since my purpose is to highlight content that has educational value. I will use an informal combination of zaprank and my own evaluation. For instance, some posts, though of high quality, are solely about Stacker News, and might have more appropriately originated as a meta post.
Could be a good full time strategy
Re-asking again, is it even a good idea to include KYC-locked apps ? (Cause the pool for non-kyc apps is getting thinner day-by-day)
That's really your call, but maybe the community will chime in.
Maybe make a slightly different color on text to indicate between KYC-app and non-KYC-app ?? Kind of lame to keep the same list over and over with such unrealistic standard
Good idea
