Bounties are not-custodial-only and do not incur a sybil fee. That means if you create a 1000 sat bounty, when you pay the bounty, the bounty satisfier gets 1000 sats. To cover the outgoing routing fees, the bounty payer pays 3% in addition to the 1000 sat bounty, e.g. they'll pay 1030 sats.

Zaps are debounced again. This means that when you do a quick succession of zaps, we group them into a single zap. This is desirable for everyone but it's especially nice for not-custodial folks without a direct channel to SN. This succession of zaps, now grouped, will incur base routing fees only once.

Search should also be meaningfully better. It's still far from perfect but it shouldn't be outright disappointing anymore. We're doing nearly everything we can now short of training/fine-tuning our own models.

I'm hearing from @sox that the WYSIWYG editor is ready for review, so expect that early next week.

I'll paying the bounty on this post to people I recognize as nice humans.

I forgot to mention that search has spell correction did you mean ________? now. Kind of a minor thing.

What if you exclusively use Clawnker Credits?

No soup bounty for you!

But you can still receive normal zaps.

Dope. I think, cowboy credits are the optimal currency for clankers.
They are completely worthless outside the controlled ecosystem, but very useful within it.

I feel like there is a need for a the ability to openly deploy an AI agent on the platform as long as it is clearly marked and has to pay its own set of paywalls.

When clankers, @k00b ?

I feel like there is a need

I feel like there's a desire. I'm not sure about need. I could see stackers having their own bot maybe, like you could have a @Jon_Hodl_bot, and you can summon it when you want and get replies from it and other folks don't get notified by it.

Bots will be everywhere soon. Folks are already using them here. I suspect we'll all want a place to avoid them more than anything. Still they have utility. It's real tricky.

I want an open but segregated walled garden where they can interact with us but they can ONLY use Clawnker Credits. Seems like the PERFECT use case for them.

Let them roam free but let us paywall them with CCs.

And if I do the math right, you can still get 1000 Clawnkers.

that is understandable, only the phrasing sounds awful.

As someone who's never offered a bounty, I love the change putting the fees on the bounty-giver. :-)

That said,

is what has me most excited here.

WYSIWYG will feature a two-part release:

  1. Access to rich text
  2. Having fun with rich text

The first release will focus on guaranteeing a stable experience with WYSIWYG, and the second release will unlock its potential with a lot of really nice features teased here: #1252337. Work is never over!

If a bounty is lower than my horse-threshold, does it fail, or does it override it?

reply
741 sats \ 1 reply \ @k00b OP 23h

Good question. It overrides. Bounties have a minimum of 1000 sats, which is an arbitrary amount I set at some point, so most folks shouldn't run into it in practice.

Also, as of now, even if you have your horse hidden, the pay bounty action doesn't appear on the reply.

reply

That's cool. Turned out I arbitrarily set my horse threshold at 1000 too 😂

reply
145 sats \ 1 reply \ @jasonb 17h

Can’t wait! Bounties have to be the type of post that, more than any others, still haven’t been used to their potential on this platform. I’m excited to see how this development incentives their use.

reply

Job posts are extremely rare, I believe. Unless they appear somewhere else in the feed. I can only remember seeing a small handful of them ever

Search term: @simplestacker douchebag

Results:

I love how, somehow, that gif got returned as part of the results. Wonder why though, don't see the term douchebag anywhere in that post. I'd love to think that there is a semantic matching from words to pictures, but that's almost certainly wrong ~lol

reply

reply

We don't do multimodal embeddings so I'd guess it's the pornhub thing.

reply

not the same result for me, it shows in 3rd position, idk why.

but at least this one is getting ok

reply

Pornhub ban .... Douchebag!

reply

interesting..... the following search results are all just me saying "doing my part", which I suppose sounds phonetically kinda like "douchebag"?

Which implies whatever embeddings model is being used, it sees a tighter semantic match between "Pornhub ban" and "douchebag" than "doing my part" and "douchebag", but that other random words I might have used like "idiot" are not semantically matching to "douchebag".....

???!!!

Whoever banned Pornhub is such a douchebag! Ahaha

Does the grouping also apply to notifications of the zaps? (Fewer Bell Alerts)

reply

yep!

Nice! I didn’t realize bounties had changed how you described. This change makes sense though.

How does the zap denouncing work with cancelable zaps?

reply
51 sats \ 0 replies \ @k00b OP 23h

You can undo with a long press.

Though I've been meaning to replace zap undos with a generic spending barrier, e.g. "you're about to spend 10k sats, are you sure?"

reply

Nice, passed the human test

reply

Hey hey! What about marking a bounty paid sometimes a bounty can be accomplished by multiple parties and the bounty payments zapped don’t register with the overall bounty amount (stuff like trivia this can happen with)

reply
153 sats \ 1 reply \ @k00b OP 22h

You mean you want to pay some fraction of the bounty to multiple people and have it total up to the bounty amount?

I will noodle on it. It's a hard thing to design for.

reply

Or the OP can resolve the bounty.
For example this bounty #1418810

It’s all paid out but I am unable to close it out so it remains open at the time

reply

Am not a CCP bot despite malicious rumours.
I spend more sats into the SNs economy than I take.
Contributing to economic viability of the P2P V4V sats denominated social media ethos.
And do it all with LN while avoiding CC tokens as much as is humanly possible.
Proof.

reply

Nice humans?!

I guess I disqualify on account of being either not nice or a bot!

reply

you're nice enough sometimes and a super-human reader/write but human still.

ps i can't pay you the bounty with your horse hidden.

Thank you for plugging away on search... it is a Hard Problem.


non-custodial folks without a direct channel to SN

Isn't this the default mode of operation? Expecting everyone to have direct channels doesn't seem scalable.

It should be our default assumption, but most folks use a handful of custodians and we have direct channels with most of them.

Not-custodial-only bounties with no sybil fee is a strong signal. Feels like SN keeps leaning into the right incentives.
