Zap to Zero Hero Day 7

Decided to also make use of the calendar for stacked and not only for spent now. This should be more interesting now? Since rewards are calculated at midnight, the rewards for yesterday are counted towards the current day. So this means that the 5222 sats that I was rewarded at 2023-12-29 came from my SN contributions on 2023-12-28. Rewards also now include territory revenue.

Unfortunately, no one wanted to bet with me yesterday:
Anyone up for bets regarding when (or if) I will reach top 1 comment or post within this month or other time periods? Or top 3?
since I reached both targets today: top #2 in comment zapping and top #1 zapper for yesterday. That's also why I decided to indeed call this post Zap to Hero instead of Zap to Zero as @Natalia suggested yesterday - at least for today. The Force must really be strong with her :)
But look who's top #2 zapper! And interestingly, the top 3 zappers had a very similar amount of comments.
Figuring out this hopefully better format for these posts took me a while and it's also already a new day (2023-01-04) here so I'm going to keep this one short.
I might create proper charts tomorrow. Should be better than tables. But let's see.
Let me know in the comments in what kind of data and/or format you are interested in. I also wasn't sure if adding a running total makes sense anymore. If I am zapping to zero everyday, wouldn't spent and stacked just be equal (with one lagging behind the other) or something? So not that interesting since this is not about "turning a profit" but more about ... yeah, about what is this experiment exactly?
This experiment started as a game but I didn't expect it to be "so easy" (famous last words?). I seem to get enough sats back everyday so maybe I should focus on the science side of this game/experiment now. That's why I also included the posts and comments per day now. I actually never checked how much I post per day. Seems to be pretty stable so far.

Btw, clicking on post is really relieving in some way. Another day added to my streak!
For some reason, the rewards have really fallen. Are people spending less after the recent price surge?
Sorry, I forgot to take your wager yesterday. You distracted me with all your gloating.

Mhh, didn't notice myself (and didn't check the reward pools in the last days) but right now, the reward pool is 180k sats.
But you've given me an idea: maybe I should include the reward pool size in my data. Since that also has a significant influence on rewards.

Sorry, I'm trying to not gloat so much (til) but it's just too easy.

You wouldn't know this, because you aren't accustomed to being near the top of the zappers ranking, but normally when I'm 2nd in post zapping I get more than 7k.
However, 180k seems pretty high for a rewards pool.

Should have said "comment zapping", but I think the formula is symmetric.

I suspect that you stack and zap more sats in a day than I do in a week haha

much transparent!
