We need new voting rules: only landowners can vote
It should just be an outright auction mechanism, but you can put money for or against anyone. Whoever ends up with the highest positive total wins. Third parties would have a real shot, plus it would raise a bunch of money that could offset taxes.
Is there literature on this type of auction
There's literature on a bunch of different voting mechanisms, I'm not sure if anyone's looked at this one, specifically. I ran it past a friend who's into mechanism design and he thought it made sense, but he hadn't heard anyone talk about it before.
It's a type of all-pay auction and those have certainly been studied extensively.
I have seen people advocate for a system where you can buy as many votes as you want, but they increase in cost exponentially. I know that's been studied. Supposedly, that design has a bunch of really nice properties.
Campaign donors would cease to exist?
Instead save your money for voting
Exactly. There are quite a few implications like that. Maybe I'll write up a post about it tomorrow to see what other people think about it.
Are you talking about futarchy or something similar?
When delphi.market and more territory policies are live, I might rename ~oracle to ~futarchy and then we can run our own little futarchy on SN 👀
It is similar, but without the part where you trust politicians to "formally define and manage an after-the-fact measurement of national welfare".
What I'm talking about is just bidding on the outcomes you want. Voting is cheap talk, while this is a costly signal. If anyone can appreciate why that matters it's the SN team.
I’m curious about the mechanics and rules etc
It would basically work by pledging money towards the outcomes you want to see: i.e. $1000 on Biden losing, $100 on RFK winning, etc. Whichever outcome happens, that's what you pay.
I misspoke earlier. It's not an all-pay auction. I hadn't thought about this in a while and forgot exactly how it works.

Day 114 of posting mining earnings from the day before: 600 sats on 9Apr2024! Running total: 77,024 sats!
Yesterday's comment
Day 115's comment
Howdy!
74 days of 100 push ups a day until 100k down. Undetermined to go. 70 days of 100 squats a day unitl 100k down. Undetermined to go.
Nostr is crazy about Dans today. Should we go crazy on here too?
people are repeating crap like parrots
Yeah, but it's funny.
Most, yeah I said most people are.
People need to take a long hard look at their zap habits….. how can I be in the top 15? I’m not even playing.
The algorithm isn’t in ancient Sanskrit hidden in a cave in the jungle. That’s just @darthcoin ‘s outhouse.
Zap to overtake! That is all.
I've been beating this drum for a long time now.
For most stackers, zapping more is in their own self-interest. You will more than recoup your zaps with the rewards they earn you.
Zap big. Zap often. Zap early. Zap well.
You forgot to hide a "Zap me" in there
Zap big. Zap often. Zap early. Zap well. Zap @ek
No more freebies for you :)
Freebie is destiny One path for many left to walk Many paths but one way
https://m.stacker.news/26118
That's implied.
It really depends on who you're getting zaps from, but I admit it's a weird situation.
14 posts 300+ comments...37... Yeah 😞 Nyms at over 600 comments on 20 something posts. It seems content and engagement is not what gets the zaps. But we got 0 posts and 4 comments or something just chilling in the top 10. Either these were the greatest 4 comments of all time or something's up with what gets zapped.
It is so unfair and gameable I chose to sit this month out.
I am at 15th with 0 posts and 13 comments. I like to zap but actual creators and curators should feature higher up.
If you want an example. 4hrs ago, darthcoin posted a judas priest track in music. (Banger of a track) 242sats zapped, 2 comments. The comments, me and darths reply to me. Ya gotta start asking questions at that point 🤣🤣 I got people in the daily posting every day, stacking maybe 20 sats between them with people talking to each other about the content... Engagement, real engagement, nothing.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, I'm not running music for a profit, I'm running it for discussion over music and to share Tracks with people. But I'm becoming less and less inclined to take a loss each month over the fees of providing that space.
With absolutely no disrespect to Darth (our dude does great work) people zapping on name recognition is not V4V that's the same as "liking" something just because a celebrity tweeted. Is this V4V or is this just another popularity site?
Thanks for coming to my ted talk 😉
Yes, I know that people zap my name. As I said many times on SN, people should spend wisely their sats. If they really want to upvote my posts, is enough 1-10 sats. The amount of sats is ONLY if they really want to send me sats, it have nothing to do with ranking a post, the amount of sats it doesn't mean more votes.
Yes, sometimes they zap more because they like what I say or find useful that info. That is another story.
The thing is that, again I said multiple times, the leaderboard is rigged because the OGs are ranked differently. In such a madness contest, if SN wants to be fair, would erase all the rankings for everybody, during that contest. Everybody start from zero. And most important: nobody is hiding. Or everybody is in hiding. I was forced to enter in hiding but I do not like it.
The whole madness contest is shit and should stop. I already post less because doesn't make me feel ok to post more.
I feel ya bud. And i meant no disrespect when using you as an example to demonstrate my point.
SN makes me.laugh in instances where for example, I've earnt more zaps today from sending a salute emoji to people than I have for responding with thought to someones comment. It's laughable really. The madness thing just highlights it. I completely agree with you.
Preach.
Good morning stackers.

Day 1 of writing so bad haikus that @carlosfandango comes back with his to make me stop:
Haikus left a hole Trees start to blossom unaware Big sad in secret
here's a bad not haiku: People That are against open source development We call them spooks
Darth warned people about that, some time ago, but was ignored.
you can ignore Darth, but not the consequences of ignoring Darth
DarthCoin full of shit? Don't trust, verify you must Mad world is changing
Darth is the chosen one... Balance into The Force to keep
view on www.youtube.comMuch wisdom was felt Time will tell if spent wisely Many challenges due

Carlos still writing, Will he return in the spring when MSM done..?

P.S. Attending a halving party. I've got to hit the 5 min mark before that. Don't want to do that drunk.
Amazing progress. Even if you don't hit 5 mins, that's still quite the achievement.

Bitcoin twitter is very dramatic, and sets off on very little detail. I wish we would have higher standard of journalism/reporting before taking something as true.
Does it compare to Nostr? (I can’t judge, don’t have Twitter)
These days it starts on Nostr and gets amplified on Twitter
Nostr is pretty cool but has all the same incentives as Twitter when it comes to echo-chambers and click-bait.
Quarantine island. In ancient times, ships were kept on the shore of this island before entering the port of Izmir. If there was a risk of epidemic disease, it would be prevented on the island. https://m.stacker.news/26040
Wasn’t this the case of Long Island in the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century, too?
I think so.
I should know that, since I am from that area. It sounds about right.

It’s a sad day in a daddy’s life when his daughter points determinedly at a bunch of bananas and shouts clearly, “Nana!” She has not uttered Dada or Papa yet.
That daddy is me.
I remember my daughter getting a bad case of croup long before her first birthday. My wife and I were terrified. I remember being next to her bed in the hospital after they got her some oxygen. She smiled at me and said dada! I was so proud. When we got home she pointed at the wall and said dada. Then the cat. Then the chair. Oh well.
Because everything that is dear to her is called dada.
This is hilarious! Thanks for sharing
How old is your daughter sensei?
16 months!
Great! Its your first kid?

Another good one.
what is MSM?
Million sat madness
Spot on friend.
Good quote!
Bitcoin is way more reliable than (most) men.
And women….really the word is people.
I wasn't sure if I should use people or human beings after reading the confusing meaning of certain English words.
cc @Lux, what's the correct word to use when I want to describe both men and women? I know it's def not using person. 😂
this is a human being ;) https://m.stacker.news/26111
technically people are the constituents of a nation. don't bother, english is bollocks anyways just speak as you wish, but in law, definitions are vital
I agree replace men with people
XD
that's because most men aren't into Bitcoin ;)
most ppl don't value their own words.
That's true, I'm afraid

I think @k00b already has it in the works, but a little nudge won't hurt. I have been pushing for this for a while. I'm just worried that allowing perpetual edits on discussion posts could really mess up the back and forth talk between stackers. I pushed for a special type of index post, to be applied to posts like those great table posts that you made. There has been a lot of back and forth, so I think they have taken everything into consideration
There would be no need to keep a record of anything. People just perpetually editing things to mess with others. It’s the internet.
