Not much has changed since last Sunday. The only difference I see is that @Scoresby has come out of the shadows and the other hidden stacker has climbed the table. Only one week left of this madness, may the most deserving one win. Place your bets... π€

Yes, there are some serious contenders of course.
@davidw is really the one to look at.
@0xbitcoineris is working real hard.
There's ample time to trade places and who knows someone has been saving his best for the last moment. Competitions running for such long duration require strategic planning as well.

I understand everyone's sentiment, but doesn't it seem weird that we're all playing this little fiat game, keeping score, and we are angry at those who want to maintain their privacy? We give it all up for a stupid game? What's next? Should we ask everyone how big their stash is? Can I see your cold card, please?
reply
133 sats \ 8 replies \ @Scoresby 24 Mar freebie
Fair point, siggy. I wish I could keep my total (all-time) amount stacked hidden, but reveal my place in the ranking.
I think if SN is going to do it as a competition with a leaderboard, it probably should have been an opt-in competition where competitors couldn't hide their identity.
I see a lot of people putting a lot of effort into great content. Under normal SN rules, you get zapped and that's great. Maybe you get a share of the reward pool and that's awesome.
But the MSM puts emphasis on how rankings aren't purely about who stacks most. So then, you are trying to figure out how the ranking works, to see if you can write stuff that will earn you more. But it's really hard to tell what one should do to be a top stacker when you don't know who the top stackers are.
This is part of why I made myself public. I figured other competitors should be able to see what I post, how often I comment and draw some conclusions from where that puts me rank-wise, rather than having to guess.
I've kept my total stacked hidden for as long as I remember that being an option, because I agree that privacy is important. But since I am legitimately trying to participate in MSM and claw my way to a higher prize, I think people should get to see it in the open.

You raise all good points, starting with the fact that it should have been an opt in, although it wouldn't have been a real choice if rewards only went to participants. Short of that, there could have been some heads up about this plan. I already bored everyone with my feelings when this thing was announced, but now the peer pressure to sacrifice your privacy is difficult to take.
reply
156 sats \ 5 replies \ @Scoresby 24 Mar
Stay strong! Don't sacrifice it.
I'm curious how you would feel about it if numbers (total stacked, estimated reward) were hidden but names were not.
reply
240 sats \ 4 replies \ @siggy47 24 Mar freebie
I feel like it's the principle of the matter. I wouldn't like names exposed. As it is, the heuristics here expose privacy anyway. More accurately than chainalysis. I don't want to get all self righteous, but I played fiat games, score keeping and keeping up with the Joneses my whole life. I'm pretty old, and I'm sick of it. I will agree with you that content here has certainly improved, and that's a plus.

It's really tricky: some of what SN is doing (at least as far as I get it) is using money to moderate a public forum.
This should be awesome. Skin in the game, less spam, value for value, markets...it all works together to incentive interesting interactions and content.
But in order to do that, some of the information has to be visible so we can all make choices about what to read.
This inevitably creates privacy issues and keeping up with the Joneses effects.
March has put a fine point on it with MSM. It was easier to ignore under normal SN rules. But also has incentivized some interesting content and interactions.

Itβs curiosity. I am not angry at all, nor jealous or what. I respect everyoneβs decision to hide their records, all fine with me. It would be great if they do though, so I know who is in the lead, but this is only because I am curious.
