Zap to zero day 2 (thanks to @jgbtc for the nice catchy name)

Total satsback so far: 3492 sats (3492 sats yesterday)

does not include people zapping me over the day

Didn't think about territory earnings when I posted about this "survival game" yesterday. I think it doesn't make sense to include them in my accounting of this "zap to zero" experiment. Wanted to show off my territory earnings anyway. Especially my ~crypto earnings. Maybe I already made more from ~crypto than some people ever did with their "crypto", lol.

Total zapped so far: 13k-ish sats (13k-ish sats yesterday)

Not entirely sure since top does not show the exact amount of sats:

I also found a bug in our calendar component. Funny how you can break stuff by just using it in ways in which it might not have been used before, lol. Always reminds me of the joke about a software tester walking into a bar.

But a better way for keeping track of how much I spent would definitely be as mentioned by @elvismercury yesterday:

In service of this idea, here's a renewed call to have SN report the amount of sats zapped each day, in the same notification that tells you how many sats you've earned. Would help with this accounting.

Will try to look into this today. I like to do small stuff in breaks of working on big stuff.

XP points gained so far: +4 (+4 from yesterday)

Had to stay up late just to find content that is worth my last few hundred sats. I wanted to make them count. I also noticed that I don't really want to zap old content with these precious last sats since that old content is unlikely to give me sats back iiuc (yil!) our own reward algorithm. However, I just had to zap this comment when I saw it. To find the comments that I zapped yesterday, I asked satistics for help. And I found another bug, yay! Might be related to caching, not sure yet. Since I think it's funny to see what I zapped (and how much I zapped it) and I like to be transparent, here are the last few zaps that I did yesterday:

The last zap might have been a "Let's get this over with"-zap.

I'll stop writing now. This has already taken way too long to write. And I still need to proofread this before posting.

btw, if you clicked on any links to my file server, I am going to track you through any VPN you might be using.

click here for previous day

edit: maybe I should indeed make regular (= daily) posts out of this. Similar to Operation Saylor from @pillar.

But how should I call this operation? Operation Going Broke?

Awesome reporting. That must have taken a long-ass time to put together.

Even trying to zap all your sats away, you're still only 4th in spending!

424 sats \ 6 replies \ @ek 29 Dec 2023

I stacked more than you with only 2 posts and 35 comments though

which in some way makes this even more embarrassing that I wasn't able to overtake you in spending

671 sats \ 5 replies \ @Undisciplined 29 Dec 2023

Even that was pretty close, despite the fact that I had zero posts.

You are outstacking me in this thread pretty substantially, but we both know why that is.

despite the fact that I had zero posts.

I didn't get this tbh. You did have posts yesterday - at least according to my screenshot 🤔

I must have misused the top stacker list then and I couldn't remember if I had posted anything.
