Set my default zap to 168, because it means “prosper all the way” in Chinese. I think the most notable change is that it influences me to leave more elaborated responses. Somehow, zapping someone more sats prompts me to take his/her comment more seriously and make me want to engage more purposefully.

On the first day, I donated 1688 sats to the reward pool but didn’t follow through the next two days because I rather zap Stackers directly

You have to be patient when you play in the big leagues. The first day, I got back 850ish sats from the reward pool. The second day, I got back 740 sats. Today, my efforts borne fruit - 3741 sats from the pool.

Decided to regretfully lower my zap to 108 today. 108 refers to the 108 heroes from a renowned Chinese novel “The Water Margin”. I’m half scared I would run out of sats tbh. But also, I find that 108 relieves some stress off me because I find myself replying to Stackers more promptly. I think I wanna spread the well wishes to as many Stackers as I can.

Zapping someone 108 or 168 sats gives me more joy than the usual 50-60 sats I used to give. This is something unexpected. I think for me, it signifies the respect I accord to the Stackers for taking the time out to respond to my work.

Hoping to increase my default zap to 168 sooner rather than later haha
