Just discovering the platform =D
Under the replies of this post I will try (hopefully with some help) to get posts up to 69 sats (niiice number 😅) once it reaches that number we work on the next one underneath. Let's try and add some random/interesting fact to the message:
Domestic cats can't taste sweet flavours, but they can taste ATP (adenosine triphosphate) which humans can't. Cats are mainly carnivore and tasting ATP helps them distinguish good sources of nutrients.
Let the game beggin ⚡⬇️
One of the easiest ways to earn sat rewards right now is to comment well + upvote comments. Half the rewards are comment related.
Yo, @k00b - Are you considering implementing hashtags, so we can use them in search?
We waiting for sub-channels instead 😎
We currently have full text search. What advantage would hashtags have?
I use them as a way to search generically for a specific topic without knowing the exact text.
Say for instance I write a helpful guide as a reply to someone on a specific topic, and tag it with a hashtag. Assuming other use like-kind hashtags you could easily search for something like #coldstorage and pull down all the posts with that tag. So essentially the same function as Twitter (at least how I used them). Perhaps what you have implemented would work the same way.
You can add hashtags to your posts now if you want and they'll be searchable afaik. There aren't any features geared toward hashtags though.
On a related note, users have asked for 'filters' or 'categories' so that users who only wanted to read on economics could browse that and so on.
Sounds pretty similar to sub-reddits. I dig it!
Appreciate the real-time feedback, as always sir. I appreciate you and the work you are doing here.
@k00b In addition to total sats it would be nice to see how many actual users upvoted. If my comment received 123 sats, was it useful to 3 people or 13 people?
If you hover over the sats (on desktop), it'll show you from how many users.
That's awesome, thanks!
TIL
Just shipped title character limits
80 characters, that's very vt100 of you :)
How many posts would be illegal if they were posted now 😂
2129 of the 11837 total posts, or 17.9%
Lol. They got something no one in the future will get 😎
Like Twitter screenshots with stars instead of hearts. Don't cite the old magic to me young SN user from 2025 - I was there when it was written
Yeah maybe they'll get a badge 'in before 80 chars'
This is big!
Nice work as always @k00b
Oh yea. It's all coming together.
@k00b what do you think about infinite scrolling?
Yes please infinite scrolling would be a great feature!
If it could be optional that would be ideal :)
@koob
It might be better for engagement, but I feel like it's not always good for users to scroll and scroll and scroll.
Reasonable!
Welp CPI is higher than expected again. The White House is saying that the CPI reading is unacceptably high and "out of date". https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2022/07/13/president-biden-statement-on-cpi-inflation-in-june/
I think that CPI is going to get fudged again so that it appears lower than it actually is.
The fact that it's this high when they already fudge it by choosing the basket of goods to mark against is pretty nuts.
Up n at em!
My manager is off all week so I get to sit here and read about btc and LN and get paid. I have a question tho, whenever I try to login with lightning with BlueWallet I get "Bad response from server" I deposited sats to SN just fine but can't get the login with lightning to work, any fix?
Have you updated BlueWallet to the version with lnauth? It might otherwise think it's a pay code.
Wow, I never zapped you for this helpful reply lol
I just visited this again and this reply was saved in my local storage for nearly a year (I must have forgot to hit submit):
Lol! Better late than never.
I wonder how many of those I have as well.
✈️ heading to Nashville this morning, at this point I am getting half naked and touched by TSA every time, not sure why that is 🤷♂️
⚔️looking forward to listening to the mandibles on the flight
Do you have a copy of the audiobook or is it DRM?
yep audible purchase
Soon to the shipyard to turn wrenches! We may get a chance to pop out an aft shaft tube bearing with a manual hydraulic jack pulling on an aluminum place we placed at the other end of the bearing. To install, they put it in dry ice to shrink it, then put it into the tube. Once it expands it has a great seal. Normally they get glued in (different type of bearing and material) and we have to cut them and collapse them to get them out.
Started organising my fluid intake instead of just drinking when i feel thirsty.
I keep a water containing vessel near me at all times. Gotta stay hydrated homie.
what's that about? I don't think I ever heard such a thing except regarding fasting.
so we going to see the CPI economy meltdown today and expect FED to hike. do we believe they will brake the system if it takes place?
I am on the verge of stating they wont hike as the CPI wont be as bad as everyone believes.
outside of that, we just had a block 744822 and Bitcoin network is chugging along perfectly - predictably and reassuringly. life has not been better.
maybe we can put up 'block clock' somewhere around with custom fields similar to clark moody's dashboard and/or mempool_space
ya @k00b should totally make a stacker labs page for one off stuff like this
In Canada the central bank announced a larger-than usual 75-basis-point hike. It's hard to ignore what's going on in Sri Lanka too.
General attention span for news happenings is tending to 0 minutes, I think people are overloaded with bad news.
its overwhelming, isnt it? msm media is full of lame stuff and noise is hard to find. the rest is just sad information in general
Looks like it was actually 100bps in Canada
