Love the buffet of ideas. I think if we wish to reward more Stackers, we got to come up with more sats somehow. The 100th awardee gets about 150 sats - hardly enough to induce a behavioural change.

I may be shooting myself in the foot here, but I think the top 21 cowboys should be held to higher standards. Zap at least 300 sats per day to keep your cowboy hat. Which isn’t too tough for us established Stackers. Channel the additional 200 sats X 21 = 4200 sats to the rewards pool

I also suggest that the Stackers in the Leaderboard be banded. The top 5 Stackers for the day get a flat rate of 6969 sats each; the next 5 Stackers get a flat rate of 4242 sats each. Top 11-15th Stacker get 2121 sats each n so on. By trimming the fat at the top, we can make more Stackers feel included.

Switching to another train of thought. There was a period in my life when I cared more about the cowboy hat than the rewards. A reward bonus for Stackers who manage to hold on to their cowboy hats will be nice. Perhaps 10 sats for a Stacker holding it for the 10th day; 69 sats for someone who holds it for 69 consecutive days. We should make greater use of the cowboy hat, I feel.

My two sats’ worth
