I am planning my last 3 days of posts. Subjects as follows:
  • cowboy hats
  • why SN is awesome
  • how I orange pilled my mailman
  • the USD is going to hyperinflate next month
  • what a blackrock bitcoin fork will look like
  • lightning has failed
Boom first place here I come.
Nice! I'm going to zap the bajeezus out of those as soon as they go up.

I do think the madness is a cool idea and fun but it does create some perverse incentives and I think because it only pays the top 64 stackers that it is great for current stacker engagement but not so great at enticing new users.

I agree. I've proposed layering different rewards timeframes: i.e. split the rewards pool between daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly rewards.
kr indicated there was some interest in trying something like that.

I think it's a good idea. A one-week minimum period seems balanced to me. The method you proposed is fair and rewards all stackers in a balanced way, whether they spend more or less time. Overall, the rewards are proportional to the time that stackers spend on Stacker News.

I like doing this every March as March madness but maybe only half the rewards should be accumulated and the rest go out daily.

Thank goodness someone else caught that. I was starting to think I was the only one.
