Once I get done with improved user profiles ... I'm going to work on a downvote-like ability and lots of experiments with the trust algo.

Site is much snappier now, I see ~50% improvement on pageloads. So thanks for the recent updates :)
Downvotes are a big change to the incentives model... it would be probably good to be extra careful here.

2 are miners and 1 is a Embassy server. Next move is more miners and all family/friends running Embassy or something similar.

When I buy bitcoin it always go down, now I buy 50% and wait with the other half, most of the times it goes down and I get more BTC. Should I go short when I buy on LN Markets? It's like a natural law or something lol.

I don't trade, but I've always suspected the most important thing a trader can learn is how their feelings coincide with market conditions.

It seems like the decay algorithm on SN is too fast.
The top 10 posts on SN are often ones that were created in the last 12 hours. Halving the decay rate would accomplish a few things:
- Great content is visible for longer, giving users more time to boost and engage in discussions
- Bad content that gets a few quick upvotes won't automatically shoot to the top of the page, it must overcome a higher quality bar
- Users don't have to worry about what time they post content (I try to avoid posting late at night now, because I know most users are from North America and by the time they wake up the post will have decayed too much to get any attention)

Zoltan essay received too low attention.
You think shortage of wheat is important? You missed that Ukraine is the largest neon producer and neon is used to fill industrial lasers in chip making industry.

Should there be a way to undo sending sats? I just clicked on the lightning by accident...

Yes. I’m thinking a configurable undo window. We have a gh issue up for it from ages ago

In my opinion you can send sats proportionally to the value you received from the content.
Also I think it's better to not call it tipping, because that sort of implies only small gratuity, whereas the concept of value 4 value is more about directly rewarding for the value you received...
