Starting tomorrow, Stacker News is running a new rewards experiment called Million Sat Madness.
How Million Sat Madness WorksHow Million Sat Madness Works
Stacker News is giving away millions of sats to the top 64 SN contributors in March. One stacker is guaranteed a grand prize of 1 million sats + bonuses, and the rest of the top 64 are guaranteed a percentage share of another 2 million sats + bonuses.
The bonuses are funds that would otherwise be sent to the daily rewards pool. Instead of being paid each day, they will be added to the Million Sat Madness bonus pool and be paid at the end of March on top of the 3 million guaranteed sats.
To be clear, Million Sat Madness is a replacement (not a complement) to daily rewards this month.
The bonus pool is paid proportionally to your guaranteed sats, so the more you earn from guaranteed sats, the more you’ll earn from the bonus pool.
How To Participate in Million Sat MadnessHow To Participate in Million Sat Madness
Everyone on SN can participate simply by creating and zapping great content. Tomorrow morning, the rewards page will display a leaderboard (updated hourly) of stackers in position to earn rewards as part of Million Sat Madness.
An "estimated rewards" number will also be added to the leaderboard to give stackers a better idea of the rewards for each one of the top 64 positions.
Just like with all our past rewards experiments, Million Sat Madness rewards people who bring value to Stacker News. That means:
- creating great posts and comments
- zapping great posts and comments
The rewards algorithm Stacker News uses is still the same, the only difference is that your score accumulates over the entire month of March instead of resetting each day.
This also means you don’t have to be active every single day to earn rewards, however your score is cumulative so frequent participation on Stacker News is a better strategy.
If you prefer to hide your username from the Million Sat Madness leaderboard, you can toggle your profile's visibility in your settings.
If you have any questions, leave them below.
Yeehaw! 🤠
That's a big prize. I predict it's about to get post apocalyptic. https://m.stacker.news/18138

I'm just making predictions, not giving advice. We'll see where the month takes us.
Gotta say Darth, you are not an easy guy to like, but I love this meme. 😂😂😂

... Wow.
Bugle is going for it
godspeed, sir 🫡
This is fucking wild guys, SN is going to be hammered.
to the post zappers, the sats farmers, the news informers, the cowboys, the plebs. i salute you and wish you luck. may your posts' quality, like your name on the leader board, be high. the gauntlet has been thrown. lfg!
Post-Zapper here, ready to launch! 🫡
M Sats Madness Month! Exciting initiative.
We who are about to zap, salute you https://m.stacker.news/18151 https://m.stacker.news/18150
Let the dopamine begin.
You misspelled "anxiety"
Stacker dopamine hits different
My dopamine is ready... https://m.stacker.news/18137
https://m.stacker.news/18136 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
I can sense many good content are on the way. 👀 and why 64?
oh, so no more daily rewards, and don't need to work daily, hmmmm, fun experiment.
i’ve always wanted to ask the NCAA that same question 🏀
4 brackets of 16= 64. I guess they could have had 4 brackets of 8 but that would just be a tournament and not madness.
If I understand correctly, only 64 stackers will receive rewards at the end of the month, right? I think it should be 128 :)
yes, 1 + 63 - why 128?
and I guess the majority of the lucky ones are the daily customers of the @saloon 😂
😂
simple: 2^6
Tasty!
I'm going to have to write harder....
Stackers, you are about to embark on a great crusade to stamp out runaway decency in the west. Now, you will only be risking your lives, whilst I will be risking almost certainly all my spare time.
This is awesome. Promote this aggressively on bitcoin twitter and nostr and you should get a lot of new accounts created.
This place is gonna be a bit mad for a while…. I’ll be in the Saloon when everyone calms down
I'll join you in the saloon

And how’s that for a slice of fried gold?
To The Winchester!
I'll get the first round in 🍻
Wow this is nifty.
Yes! Let's gooooooooo!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Let’s go cowboys & cowgirls!
Lol cowgirls
Where is the cowboy hat in all this madness?
Perhaps the top 3 should get Stacker News baseball caps. Would be pretty cool to have something physical to represent March madness.
They should get a damn gun for Satoshi's sake!
due to too much madness, it got forgotten. 😂
Nice. Let me whip up something...
Welp there goes my rewards. Y’all can catch me zapping!
You don’t think you’re worthy boogie?
Helll nawwwwww lol
Let's Go!

Ready
I'm curious to see how the ranking would stand in February. Any chance you can show that?
Why am I not surprised about the fact that you wanna scrutinise the data to put yourself in the best position? 😋😜
I was wondering if my performance in the sn was good enough to make it into the top 64 :)
I'm quite new to this platform, is this the first time you are doing this 'Million Sat Madness'?
Yes.
But the SN team does like to experiment with the rewards system from time to time. Usually changing how the rewards are cacluated.
I think this is the first time they have change the time period. (From day to month)
I like it!
New experiment, new experience!
may the best @anon win!
Just to be clear, the sats we contribute to the daily rewards pool is not part of the contest award?
all the sats that would otherwise go to daily rewards, instead go to the Million Sat Madness bonus pool this month
3 Million Sats just got added to rewards. https://stacker.news/rewards
👀
Wow... Well, if somebody wants, you can read my creations. I try to bring positive news to SN. Will try to keep the pace in March.
So is tomorrow morning the last day for receiving "regular" rewards then? (Until April of course)
yes
thanks for clarifying
Are you planning any external advertising to take advantage of this attractive prize pool? @sn
https://m.stacker.news/18143
This is so much fun!
I'm a Satillionaire at last. Thank you SN for this.
I'm a satillionholic

Sat madness is better than cash madness
I am not seeing a leaderboard. Is there possibly an update issue where the reward page didn't get changed over?
@sn
Is there a way to see where am I in the ranking?
the top 64 are shown here but if you have "hide me from top stackers" toggled on in your profile settings, you'll appear as "stacker is in hiding" on the leaderboard
I'm not hidden and not in the table - that's why I'm asking if it's possible to see where I am and how much action I need to do to qualify...
will work on getting the full leaderboard displayed so people can see beyond the top 64
Great 🙏
Please tag me when available
What's weird is we give away this many sats every month but because it's not a lump sum you all just think it's whatever.
Yeah, for the top 64 it's no different except they'll get everyone elses rewards, but for the rest, 65 and over you'll get fk all earnings. This is the kind of corporate crap I don't miss. Let the hunger games begin
Yeah, I'm not into these fiat style competitions either. Definitely reminds me of job bonus schemes that have all the workers competing with each other for that bonus pot at the end of the quarter/year and only a select few will get a share. Of course they train us as kids at school for this, starting with gold star sticker charts.
Lol

Like the Battle of the Iron Throne, the race for SATs is a fierce fight for dominance and victory.
When you play the game of sats, you win or you get rekt. There is no middle ground.
you sayin' I ain't winning sh*t :-) SN making millionaires this month!! Bravo! :)
Sweet! love it here! 😍
C’est génial, hâte de voir la suite
Haha nice.. **..
I need those sats. I have FIVE kids to feed! LMAO
Awesome experiment! Let´s hope for the best and the new wave of stackers arriving here can bring quality + quantity at the same time. Boat is gonna be overcrowded soon! ;)
Seems legit. Stack sats, people.

Hello guys, first post on stacker.news Logged in via Nostr extension. Happy to be here 😎
Just Wow!!!
As if SN wasn't already full of random low-quality posts just to get a few sats. This way you attract a lot of new over-excited community members that will start to share random stuff, or incentivize the usual suspects to keep posting, because it's almost granted that the prize will be won by a big zapper. I don't know, I don't quite like this little experiment. I hope it's just a one-off.
Yes good post 👍
https://m.stacker.news/18889
Yes good post 👍
https://m.stacker.news/18889
You guys should start thinking about the 4 letters
SNWS?
That is a great news. It means I have gotten a job - full paid employment for the month of March at stacker news. I didn't even go for an interview for this to happen. Great news.
Predicted post will be 30 mins or less gap in every teritory.. its goin' to be a flood.
ScoreBoard is up https://stacker.news/rewards
It is morning here and I don't see the leaderboard. Where do you live?
1M sats! This is awesome. Let's go!
Good for the wallets. 😁
@sn, after announcing the Million Sat Madness on SN, be like... https://m.stacker.news/18197
@ek can we have an ~oracle post as well about the winner of this one million sats, with all proceeds used to support a cause? I won’t shamelessly bet on myself to win ofc
Not sure I understand. You want to have a post in ~oracle where we bet who wins?
You don't need me or my permission to create posts in ~oracle, so I am a bit confused what my role is in this 🤔
Also, you probably know better what you are after, so go ahead, sounds interesting!
Todays million sat grand prize is yesterdays 25 BitCoin 5-8th place.
