zaps forwarded to @anita (100%)

I have been thinking of ways to raise sats to donate to worthy bitcoin projects for a while. Some of you may have noticed that I sometimes re-post Anita Posch’s newsletter on SN and forward the sats to her. I believe in her work.

@grayruby approached me about doing a fundraiser here on Stacker News, so we have decided to give it a try. We’re still a little up in the air about the best way to do this, but I will be posting the fundraiser tomorrow, Wednesday, August 30. @anita’s Bitcoin For Fairness will be our first fundraiser

We need your help and support.

The first thing we need is input as to what the hell to call this thing.

So far, the possibilities are:

Satsraiser

Sats-A-Thon

Zapathon

We need input from the community. Please reply with suggestions.

I will post the fundraiser tomorrow morning around 8 a.m. EST

Thanks

Siggy

I like satraiser

I think so… a ‘satraiser’ seems a little less clunky than a ‘satsraiser.

Might be more readable as SatRaiser / SatsRaiser

I'd go for Zapathon 'cuz it's something already used on NOSTR and the community already know the meaning.

I vote for Satsraiser or Zapathon. Zapathon rolls off the tongue nicely. You could consider Stackathon, although that might imply the sats raised will be hodled rather than spent/used

I liked Stackathon too but Zapathon just hits different.

I like that. Doesn’t feel right for this endeavour but maybe something else…

30 sats \ 0 replies \ @Undisciplined 29 Aug 2023

Zapathon is certainly catchy, but has also already taken on a distinct meaning as a twice-weekly nostr event.

Good on you guys for doing this.

I like it! Giving sats for a good cause is carying.

These comments and sat related puns are so satisfying 😉

you can redirect sats for a post

I wish it were possible to redirect sats for a profile

Stacker News should maybe have: "Stack Raiser(s)"? Otherwise, "Sats Raiser" is pretty good too. Zapathon is something different already.

the ****thon give the idea of a hackathon.. not a fundraising campaign

what about:

SatsR (minified version of SatsRiser)
StackBit (?)
STKRize (!)
BitRaiser - and see if we can rise a whole bit ( =1 000 000 sats = 1 micro-bitcoin = μBTC) for each campaign!

Satsraiser is my preferred from your list

31 sats \ 1 reply \ @siggy47 OP 29 Aug 2023

Good point about ...thon I really like Bitraiser.

I'm torn, so if people start picking their favorite I'll just add them up at the end.

42 sats \ 0 replies \ @mo 29 Aug 2023

BitRiser is my favourite too :) SN has on avrg 2000 active users per day, so if each one of us give 500 sats we should be able to rise 1 bit/campaign every day (hypothetical dream)

How about "Zapping for a Cause", if you want to keep Zap in the name because it will get confusing with zapathon (which is great but they already have zapathon on nostr and it's a totally different thing).

Otherwise I say stick with Satsraiser.

Load up your SN wallets guys. Let's dig deep tomorrow.

Any idea what time you want to launch tomorrow Siggy?
