SN release: more nostr crossposting, zap undos, territories in profiles, more

13.3k sats \ 57 comments \ @k00b 26 Feb meta

zaps forwarded to @ek (33%) @bitcoinplebdev (33%) @mz (33%)

all posts types support crossposting via @bitcoinplebdev
give polls configurable expirations via @mz
- it's in options in the poll post form
show founded territories on profiles via @mz
- founders have a territories tab on their profiles like items
random rewards are no more
- we are back to rewarding posts, comments, and zapping posts and comments every day
anyone can subscribe to be notified about a territory's new posts now via @ek
- before only founders got these notifications
- when visiting a territory, click ... to configure
territory revenue had a bug that wasn't attributing comment revenue
- that's fixed as of this release and although it's not a lot, it can increase revenues by 5-10% in heavily commented territories
zap undos via @ek
- in the advanced section of your zap settings, you can configure zap undos
- zap undos give you a five second window to "abort" a zap before it's sent

@ek had the idea to start a ReleaseChain, so this is the last release: #427868

For a quicker historical review we also have a changelog.

All welcome improvements. I'm curious to see what effect getting rid of random rewards has. I'm guessing there will be more posting and zapping.

I suspect you're right.

I like the game of random rewards, but we never put energy into to communicating it properly.

wow, just tested the zap undo, so cool - did you get any notification?

266 sats \ 2 replies \ @siggy47 26 Feb

Nope.

it's really FUN, have a try:)

it's like saying are you really gonna to part away your sats? and you got 5 seconds to change your mind. 😂😂😂

I will

It will. Back to the old days with zapping.

Zap undos 👍 I always get nervous when I hover over the 10k/100k zap buttons lol

460 sats \ 1 reply \ @ek fwd 26 Feb

Just zapped you 10k sats to test undos. It worked.¹

You'll be really rich if you're able to stote 100k on stackerNews

50 bucks?

99 sats \ 0 replies \ @nout 26 Feb

No, 100k sats :P

99 sats \ 2 replies \ @030e0dca83 26 Feb

Nope 100k sats

Bucks are obsolete

0 sats \ 1 reply \ @gmd 26 Feb

sure but you're still not going to be rich on 100k sats anytime soon lol

99 sats \ 0 replies \ @030e0dca83 26 Feb

Are you sure?

ps if you have 100k here you probably have a little more in the cold place

1342 sats \ 2 replies \ @TheWildHustle 26 Feb

Territory notifications are cool and probably underrated.

The next level would be to have the notifications sent with a summary to your nostr messages like chadbot on CASCDR.

2100 sats \ 1 reply \ @ek fwd 26 Feb

Or show your nostr notifications in SN 👀

147 sats \ 0 replies \ @TheWildHustle 26 Feb

Thats wild,

Add a nostr feed and then voila, a nostr client.

Crazy to think of SN in 2030 with zap.stream, flare and nostr nest integrations in a Start9 app.

554 sats \ 2 replies \ @Undisciplined 26 Feb

Allowing cross posting of links has already spiked my nostr engagement!

Thanks @bitcoinplebdev!

I also like to think that the release chain idea was at least partially inspired by my daily mining comments. It’s ok if it wasn’t, but I like thinking it was lol

0 sats \ 1 reply \ @ek fwd 27 Feb

I mentioned we could use pinned comments to continue the chain into the past.

That was inspired by your comments :)

Ooh nice!!

Feature idea: a “new” badge/decorator/icon when there’s a new user setting added that you haven’t seen. Help draw attention to new developments on the platform for those that miss these posts

I like it!

247 sats \ 2 replies \ @0xbitcoiner 26 Feb

Good job! Thanks in advance for the improvements, especially since I had also requested some of them.

Here are some suggestions and questions:

It would be interesting to be able to cross-post through NIP-19 because some clients do not support NIP-23.
Are poll participants notified when the poll expires?
Fantastic. I am curious to see the result.
This was the one I was looking forward to the most :)

64 sats \ 1 reply \ @bitcoinplebdev fwd 27 Feb

One of the updates in this PR is using nip19 to generate naddress for non kind1 crossposts instead of noteId (to save to the db and improve search ability when linking out). I thought nip19 was just encodings though not anther note kind?

Nip 23 seems to be the most supported "long-from" nip but I think it would be interesting to have the option to post a discussion as kind1.

10 sats \ 0 replies \ @0xbitcoiner 27 Feb

yes, kind1

excited to see some crossposting action! will revenue be split equally among crossposted territories?

99 sats \ 1 reply \ @k00b OP 26 Feb

This isn't territory crossposting yet! It's just nostr crossposting. Before we only crossposted discussions.

560 sats \ 0 replies \ @kr 26 Feb

“yet”

random rewards are no more

👏

21 sats \ 1 reply \ @Undisciplined 26 Feb

I, for one, am sad that @ek can now undo his wildly reckless custom zap typos.

He should have to come hat-in-hand begging for his sats back, like before.

I don't know yet if I will use it but I should for dogfooding reasons

I never knew that "random rewards" were a thing.

21 sats \ 2 replies \ @k00b OP 26 Feb

Hence the change

0 sats \ 1 reply \ @Fabs 26 Feb

What did it do then?

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @Fabs 26 Feb

Never mind, I see.

0 sats \ 2 replies \ @JuanMiguel 26 Feb

Can someone explain what "random rewards are no more. we are back to rewarding posts, comments, and zapping posts and comments every day" means?

92 sats \ 1 reply \ @k00b OP 26 Feb

A digital cowboy named Randol Rankings would flip a coin every night. If it were heads, 100% of rewards went to top comments and posts. If it were tails, 100% of rewards went to the people who zapped top comments and posts.

We fired Randol. Now 50% of rewards go top comments and posts and 50% go to top comments and post zappers every night.

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @JuanMiguel 26 Feb

Thank you for the explanation :) i think it's much better this way (no randomness)!

@ek are all territories being shown atm? only 67 left ( it was 82 during peak time? ) and the data is so interesting.

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @ek fwd 26 Feb

Yes, that should be all territories

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @Car 26 Feb

congrats on the shipping 👏👏👏

anyone can subscribe to be notified about a territory's new posts now via @ek

interesting, you can even do it while muting the territory. 🤔

0 sats \ 2 replies \ @ek fwd 26 Feb

yes muting is just to make them disappear in the feed, notifications are separate

it's confusing though, I agree

0 sats \ 1 reply \ @Natalia 26 Feb

trying to see how to take advantage of it - getting to see what I want to see more without being overwhelm.

btw! the undo zap is really fun, and seems it's no limit undo? so I can zap but undo, zap but undo... 😂

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @ek fwd 26 Feb

Yes, no limit. But it currently doesn't work well with turbo tipping: it does undo the zap (it's more like a "zap abort" technically) but it leaves the UI in a wrong state if you undo in the "wrong order".

Currently working on fixing that including another visual bug related to it (no progress bar for custom zap undos). The code got pretty complicated for such a tiny thing. I thought we'd get zap undos basically for free thanks to how attached wallets are implemented lol

new features = SN user hype!

Undo ZAP is a good thing, you wont get sad when accidentally zap someone 100k HAHAHA
