I'm here right now and I can confirm what you say

However, I don't think that ~20% BTC adoption should be viewed as a failure, quite the opposite.
Maybe not everywhere accepts it, and true, waiters will actually try and say they don't accept it when they do, but it IS possible to live just on Bitcoin in El Salvador. I'm doing it right now.
https://btcmap.org -> this is pretty up to date
Bitcoin is legal tender in El Salvador and that's a big deal, perhaps adoption is slower than we would have liked, but it is definitely happening...
It's the same situation in Boracay, the marketing is definitely not the reality. It's down to people like us though, to change that.
Well said.

@k00b - I'm not chasing coinage (it can go to rewards pool) but wanted to highlight that I never received 3970 sats from this post, so there might be a bug in SN?
according to my satistics, the received amount from this post is 707..

Your rewards get added to this amount. Did you factor in your rewards?

aha - so the amount shown on the post includes the rewards? that would explain it as it's roughly the same.
thankyou!
FYI, intuitively, I would have expected rewards to appear in (private) Satistics, but not in the associated (public) post total..
Either that or I'd expect the satistics to break down the rewards by post. Not sure how else I'd have been able to reconcile the above difference. I get that it's probably an experiment though, so if it's all temporary, feel free to ignore my feedback!

It does show in satistics (totaled up), but also on each item that were responsible for your rewards.

Yep, I agree. It's a confusing UX.
