I have my min zap at 100 so I can keep my hat easily
Huge oversight on my part
Yes, zapping more also makes you a better cowboy.
reply
I was under the impression that the cowboy hat seemed to be based on being active each day, not the amount of zaps. I zap a lot when I'm on the site, but if I miss a day or two, then I lose my cowboy hat.
reply
You're right, the cowboy hat is about being significantly active on a daily basis.
reply
Price of the hat may have to increase. 😃
reply
Maybe the price should be randomized. People are getting a little too comfortable.

how much to keep cowboy hat?
reply
Don't be cheap!

lol was just curious…
top 40 all time SN spender here. My problem lately is my stack keeps increasing even though i try to be generous with zaps
reply
Just doing my part to reinforce the culture of not being explicit about exactly how to get a cowboy hat
reply
if you're curious enough, take a look around the codebase :)
you'll know when you find it. you don't need any coding experience imo.

hahaha in retrospect I never liked learning the secret sauce behind magic tricks :P

What''s the optimal zap amount? Still learning, give me an idea? is it actually 21? or less or even much more?
reply
There's no fixed optimal amount, because everything is relative to what other stackers are doing.
My rule of thumb is that you should zap good comments 21-42 sats and good posts 69-420 sats. Basically, for comments think in tens and for posts think in hundreds.
