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.

I can sense many good content are on the way. 👀 and why 64?

To be clear, Million Sat Madness is a replacement (not a complement) to daily rewards this month.

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.

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 :)

21 sats \ 1 reply \ @Natalia 29 Feb

yes, 1 + 63 - why 128?

and I guess the majority of the lucky ones are the daily customers of the @saloon 😂
