I can't even zap this post, anyways.
@ekzyis smart thinking about this.
see, my post help finding a new "bug" 😂
we need to do more testing.

Its' a feature not a bug...
But I can zap you your comments inside

thanks! what else did I miss btw, is there more hidden fun? 👀
reply
maybe about the amazing feature of cowboy hat.
Many people still don't understand the importance of it. Hear you that @car?
Is the most powerful thing on SN and few knows how to use it.
reply
My understanding of the cowboy hat so far is that it is signalling this user:
- continually spending some time here
- understanding the value of good content or showing appreciation to others by zapping
what else?
reply
what else?
It's a secret. I have to kill you after I've told you.
And that is against the Natural Law, that I respect it 100%.

intriguing... but I want to live longer to do more explorations 🤣

I will live 60 years more (I am 50+).
That means you will live at least 80 yrs more. Plenty of time to find out.

Thanks, but about what exactly? lol
reply
Curious, what is your understanding of cowboy hat ?
reply
I think it started as a gimmick (I think it was introduced before I joined SN) but the community liked it so much we need to think how to build on that
I also feel the cowboy hats are similar to "ranks" in old-school forums (like bitcointalk) where you can immediately see who is "trusted" and who is new.
However, the hats are more concise and hidden since a individual comment does not have as much screen real estate like on these forums. Also, you'll need to use SN for a while to "get them" (not only in the literal sense but to also understand what they are conveying) :)

gimmick 🤣🤣 I like your honesty.

please don't reveal the secret, you swear an oath!
The oath of cowboys...

Also, it has gotten pretty intense between me and @siggy47, lol
I think I had a dream one night that I lost my hat and it was very emotional, lol
But there are numerous stackers out there who hide their hats and have a longer streak :)

almost feel like you are describing a romantic relationship, so intense indeed 😹

I wasn't aware of these stats. Maybe that's for the best. I'll start cracking under pressure.
