283 sats \ 18 replies \ @davidw 23 Dec 2023 \ on: Welcome to AGORA 🔁 The SN P2P Marketplace AGORA
How should stackers decide whether to post in ~agora or in ~marketplace?
I love the name but I’m not sure it’s intuitive enough to achieve your objectives at this time.
~Agora comes first in the dropdown, lol
And I think a little competition between territories is natural (and might be part of the game theory?)

Nice detail, thanks for sharing. We could actually use ~MarketPlace then... but ~Bazaar still my favourite

No, you can't, it's a bug. Only the links are case-sensitive but they shouldn't be.
Our database actually saves the names as
citext which is a case-insensitive data type.So who will be the guy to put AAAgora like the old plumbing, taxi, locksmith.... Trick or the phone book. ♾️ Agora?

Ahaha, ancient trick! well, not sure it will show up in the search results. I think this should also be considered by the @SN team when considering solving the case-sensitiveness issue of the territories
reply
I think the free market will fix this. It looks like the cost of maintaining the territory will solve issues and if it is well thought as yours is then it should be successful.
This isn't the bleeding edge for nothing. At least sats are moving off chain and ideas are booming.

Good point... But maybe you can sell that name or you can pay to shut it down like in the Fiat world.
- Sucky name
- Contact owner
- "Your name sucks and it's interfering with my brilliant, well thought name. Can I pay to shut this down?"
- Yes - " Sure, 1,000,000 sats"
- No - " No, I'm a dick."
Opening a territory has a cost so maybe just let the free market do it's thing.
Like, I've thought about doing some titties (that was a typo, so I'm leaving it, thanks to the swipe keyboard) err, territories but I'm instead looking for a category that might fit instead. When I started here there were only 4 now there are more.
For the benefit of the business model I think the team here can reimburse the fee if it seems to cause a headache. The good thing about this is the sats are increasing in buying power so a refund might actually be a saving plan.
I'd like a job here, by the way.
I think I'm going to stop crying about how I don't make enough Fiat in my marine construction job and I'm going to just write about how easy it is to negotiate with people.
I like agora but I like anything that is a marketplace. So we'll see!

Yes I know, the name isn't really intuitive. if you like to vote or share and alternative names, please check this poll, here your vote/opinion matters :)
The only incentive for now it's that you'll join a much more ancient place (from a conceptual point of view) at a fraction of the cost. The intent it's to help people get rid of all the useless things we surround ourselves with, both physical and digital, because your room/house it's full of them, same as your computer one day will run out of space ;P
The other difference is that
~marketplace has been created once and probably never moderated. ~agora will be renewed monthly and maintained forever. If there's no interest from the community, it will naturally ed up in the SN archive.So please, help keep it there, find your most useless dusted item, take a pic ad share it there, I believe it will be useful for someone, somewhere.

If that guy will not zap you because there's a
@ delete I think s/he problem. I really like the idea to delete posts and comments after a while, its like mirroring what happen with voice communications. You need to be there, in the same place and time, to hear/read what's going on.reply
