100 sats to post for a 1 day experiment
the posts get increasingly expensive to post throughout the day I think? (I think this would be better served as a weekly timer)
first post 1 sat, second post 100 sat, third post 1000 sat or something like this? Similar to how replies get increasingly expensive in a thread.
Maybe one day the cost of a post here might work similarly to how space on the blockchain works... more demand for the limited daily space available, the more prohibitive the cost becomes.
I guess I'm thinking of the bitcoin fee market + difficulty adjustment style system determining the costs of making a post. This way I can't just have alt account obfuscating the increasing cost to post as all users would be paying the same adjusted fee to post.

I like your mind. Using scarcity to raise value.

That's a really neat variation on fee escalation. Every ten minutes it drops globally.
Another variation is the fee dropping only when something high quality is posted.
I think we're still missing high quality stories pretty regularly but once we aren't this kind of thing becomes worthwhile.

Yeah I was thinking like determining a target amount of posts, and having the fees adjust to hit the target. Gonna use some simple numbers for sake of ease.
Imagine 100 posts under 'bitcoin' sub being the goal per day. Base fee to post today is 100sat but we get 250 posts instead (no post limit per day). The adjustment basically being base fee x (actual posts/desired posts). 100sat x 2.5 = 250sat to post.

I think @skreep_ understands how it works and is suggesting this should be a global escalation (not an account one).
