Well, this is the first attempt at a little contest. It may eventually evolve into something more. My purpose is to incentivise some good instructional content for this territory.
Here are the top Five Posts Of The Week
The top post is forwarded 50% of the sats earned by this post, along with bragging rights until next week.
- Best Orange Pill Video by @persimmons97
- What’s The Smallest UTXO A Bitcoiner Should Have? by @kepford
- What Should One Focus On, Especially A Novice? by @Fabs
- I Used To Think That BTC Was Fake, I Now Think That BTC Is Safe by @cryotosensei
- Lesson Learned From The Death Of Mt Gox! by @supratic
I plan to eventually incorporate the best posts into some sort of collection or document, though I don't know what form it will take yet.
Next week the awards will be different, inspired by @supratic 's reply:
Winner- 50%
Second place- 20%
Third - 10%
Fourth - 10%
Fifth - 10%
This comment should be pinned
That's cool! Nice to see mine in 5th position :)
As SN allows it, how is that you decided to split 50% to the 1st only?
It could also be done as:
1st - 30%
2nd - 20%
3rd - 10%
you keep 40% instead of 50%
OR
1st - 21%
2nd - 14%
3rd - 7%
4th - 3.5%
5th - 1.75%
You keep the remaining 52.5%
Or many other ways.. just a suggestion ;)
Good suggestion. I really don't need any sats for the post. I might play with 100% with a sliding scale weighted heavily to the top post. When I get more ambitious with the scope of it ( maybe a newsletter or index) then I'll keep some.
Sensei the sats opportunist appears again! Haha
Can you at least leave 5% sats for yourself? It will make me feel better this way. What’s more, I noticed you lowered the posting fee to help us tide toward this lean period of no Daily Rewards haha
I love that idea! It's exactly the kind of thing that encourages people to share great content.
That's actually a great idea! I'll try to do something similar in the ~AGORA
Congrats on the initiative!
I think it's really valuable for Stackers like me, who are still learning. I also think it's a great way to promote good content.
I hope so. It's a work in progress.
We’re all still learning!
If you can please elaborate, what is your criteria to select the top post? Is it sats zapped, comments or any other?
BTW nice initiative.
Good question. Stacker News has a statistic known as zaprank. That's what I use. It combines # of sats, along with number of stackers who zapped the post, and the trust level of the stackers who zapped the posts, combined with # of comments, etc. I don't know all of the special sauce.
So, evidently it's a list with fair judgement.
Congrats!!
I'm excited to see more action on this territory. I really believe it's going to become one of the premier territories on the site.
I hope so. I'm still thinking it through.
Right on!
Good idea 🔥
I have been doing it as part of the newsletter for over a year now. If you're interested check out a recent newsletter.
Okay.I will check ✔️
Very nice
