Million Sat Madness is live! We repurposed the rewards page for it. It has a leaderboard with estimated payouts.

Other related updates:

  • you can now sort stackers by value in top, e.g. https://stacker.news/top/stackers/week
    • this allows you to see who has been most rewardable historically according to our latest rewards algorithm
  • stackers who hide themselves from top now get a placeholder in rankings so people can really see how they're stacking up

Oh and rankings in the leaderboard are recomputed hourly.

reply

If you're wondering why you're not on the leaderboard, it's because 50% of a stacker's value depends on how well they zap posts/comments as it always has been. If you don't zap well, early, often and meaningfully, your posts/comments will need to be 2x better (roughly) than others in the leaderboard who are zapping.

reply

That's dope, but does it reset one's "value" hour-by-hour, picking up again from the place one ended the last hour on, thus actually enabling to win or lose places by merely "out-zapping" someone who earned more Sats, which could be reversed the following hour, or how does the "value" work?

reply

It doesn't reset value. It looks at a time period's best posts and comments and their zappers, and from that determines value.

reply

And that value gets added each time, resulting in one's placement?

reply

Yes it isn't their latest value. It's their cumulative value over the time period. For MSM it's the cumulative value over the calendar month.

reply

That's a dope system, it's not about what you stack, but how you act.

reply
meaningfully

Meaning content valued by other stackers?

I guess I need to revise my montra again: "Zap big. Zap often. Zap early. Zap meaningfully." That's getting cumbersome.

reply

By meaningfully I meant 'big' but your mantra does not account for zapping 'well' which is meant to mean zapping the good stuff you suspect we'll all like.

reply

I love it!

I like the way you handled all those sneaking sneakers. Careful y'all, the snooker can become the snorked.

reply

imagine when team @sn do that to the cowboy page... 🕵🏼

reply

We did do it to the cowboys page: https://stacker.news/top/cowboys :)

reply

Fuck you! I used to be top 10.

reply

😂

I like the way you handled all those sneaking sneakers 😂

and now @Undisciplined got mad 😂

reply

😂😂😂 madness.

reply

Worthy having a quick peek if you are the sneaky sort… let’s see who it catches out (just for fun really)

reply

I'd have a quick peek when less people around 🤓

reply

I did. Think I got away with it… position 64 woohoo!

reply

"stacker is in hiding" 😂 - possible to add the anon hat? way cooler!

and how the percentage being calculated?

reply

@kr came up with a static distribution. I'm not sure how he came up with it though.

reply
reply

is it a secret formula? 😂

now I'm curious how these random number comes from and why the bottom are the same - did you get lazy and just put the same number 😂 @kr

reply
100 sats \ 0 replies \ @kr 1 Mar 2024

those are the digits of my social security number 🙊

reply

What are the odds? The total comes out to exactly 100%! :)

reply

ChatGPT got it!

"It seems like the values are decreasing and getting closer to zero. Additionally, the values are following a certain pattern where each subsequent value is approximately one-third of the previous value.

This suggests an exponential decay pattern. Specifically, it seems the values are being generated by the function:

f(n)=1/(3ˆn)

where n represents the position in the sequence (starting from 0)."

reply

It seems like it's not a secret after all. What a pity, I thought I was going to have a good puzzle on my hands.

221 sats \ 3 replies \ @sn 1 Mar 2024

One additional note, all SN-affiliated accounts (@k00b, @kr, @ek, @sn) have been disqualified from participating in Million Sat Madness.

Yeehaw! 🤠

reply

So the rewards are not issued for them? Where do they go? How do you exclude the accounts and calculate it?

reply

correct, the SN-affiliated accounts are disqualified from participating. any rewards that would have otherwise gone to those accounts just gets added to the pool of bonus sats for Million Sat Madness

reply

Yeehaw!

sorry not sorry, will zap @ek more then 👀

reply

Well planned and organized. This is interesting, how you put it. I don't think the ranking only applies to March.

reply

The leaderboard on the rewards page does only apply to march. It's consistent with historical value ranking because the people in the leaderboard are consistently providing high value including within the last 12 hours.

reply

What setting do we need to enable to appear in the ranking?

reply

hide from top stackers

reply

I'm just thinking out loud, but maybe there should be a separate setting for MSM.

reply

I thought about it but it leaks all the data people are saying they want to hide when setting hide from top stackers.

reply

Keep up the great work!

reply

That’s great. Now I know where I truly stand ~ on the shoulders of giants or chasing after their shadows haha

reply

That’s very cool. Well done!

reply

This is cool, and also humbling

reply

Way to really indicate the “return of the stack” yes you did. Yes you did.

reply

Looks like someone's already raining 1 sat per new post to game this :D I'm curious how it will work out. Lots of experimentation is good, and glad there's transparency.

reply

What about daily rewards?

reply

They are gone for the month

reply

I am not in the list, IDK how it works!

reply

This is crazy. I was kicked out of the race because I don't have much time. What's the incentive to ZAP when you already know you're going to be left out? All that's left is to post good content.

reply

Yeehaw🤠

reply

Interesting experiment 👏

reply

great now we can kill the cowboy segment and cover this instead

yehaw!

reply

We are covering them both and you'll love it.

reply

Ben msg me he is out of the running, back to officially being the most booooooorrrrrrrrrrrrringggggg segment in bitcoin.

reply

I just scored 123wpm on TypeRacer, I am so ready for March Madness. ✍️

You can run but you cannot hide from us.
