I like the idea of an escalating hat rank.

There could also be unique hats that are rare and you only get to keep one day at a time regardless of your streak. Like a big zap hat (you get it if you zap over 100 sats to a post or comment at least 10 times in a day). Maybe you can only collect the rare hats once per month or something to that effect.

no colors, just shapes

Your examples are very colorful, ironically.

it was just to exemplify different styles :)

So you see the value of different colors, but don't want to make use of them? Curious.

reply

I didn't mean styles, I meant shapes ;)

Either way you're saying colors are useful for differentiation.

You aren't the only anti-color person. What's the objection about?

reply

i have nothing against it. i just like it better without color. tastes are not debatable :)

I love the rare hats idea. I'd add that only one person at a time should be able to wear a rare hat. There are a bunch of options there: top post, top comment, biggest zap...

reply

Yeah then it is truly rare.

Maybe a rare hat should come with a bag of loot dropped by a would be bank robber. 1000 sats get deposited into your account from rewards when you find one.

That takes me back to studying auction theory (that's a good thing). These rare hats are a form of all-pay auction. That type of auction has really complicated equilibria and in practice generates odd behavior.

Relevant to SN, in practice all-pay auctions often generate revenue that is far in excess of the value of the prize.

for rarity it's a good idea. no colors
