60 sats \ 14 replies \ @Undisciplined OP 22 May \ parent \ on: Gaming Stacker News is Self-Defeating in the Long-Run meta
I hope they do that experiment soon. I'm really curious to see if we get more night (US time) activity that way.
Perhaps we should move to a 25-hour day or use a variation of a block clock…

I like the idea of a block clock! So innovative n exemplifies the purpose of this platform
reply
I like it, too. There's no reason that the two ideas can't be merged.
SN could randomly choose a block that's going to be mined in the next 12 to 36 hours.

Would be more fun than MSM
reply
I like the idea of it being unpredictable to a larger degree.
My thought would be to randomly choose a value between 12 and 36 and let that be the length of the current day.
reply
That’s a good idea. Should you keep the timer on display?
reply
My gut says no, because I don’t want people to game it.
However, it might be worth trying it both ways to see what happens.
reply
My gut says no too. Prior to MSM, we never knew our position relative to others, so all we could do is post n comment the best way we knew how. It was a simpler time haha
reply
How do you feel about the daily leader board?
I like it, but I can see why some probably don't.
reply
I don’t mind it, I guess. Though being attuned to it made me realise that I should post something in the hour before my bedtime and not during my commute to work. As in, looking at the Leaderboard every day let me develop a sense of the prime times to post. Haha.
I am not sure I like this information because then, I must decide whether to sideline my sleep for a while so that I can optimise my posting or keep to my current habit and feel that my post never reaches its zapping potential.
Not occupying much of my headspace though. At the end of the day, I mostly post when I feel like it. It’s additional weight to think about zaps.

IMHO Thinking about it in any other terms is quite unhealthy and a few sats are really not worth it.
I like seeing if my spending and stacking are reasonably balanced.
My thought is no. But I’m not sure how many Stackers do watch the clock to game it.
reply
Probably not many, but it’s deeply ingrained at this point.
We know that morning posts perform much better. That might be organic, but it might be partly because of the rewards schedule.
