Just a fun little experiment dressed as a game. I’m mostly just curious how this will go. Maybe this will be boring but that’s exactly what I want to find out!
Rules are simple: be the last comment within 24 hours and you win 5k sats + any zaps on this post!
5,000 sats paid
timestamp for the win

@ek thanks! gg everyone!

Welcome to the Commenter's Dilemma!
According to game theory, the best strategy for everyone is to cooperate. Here’s how it works:
If no one comments after this post, everyone wins because we all save time and effort.
However, if even one person comments, they might win the prize but they break the cooperation and cause everyone else to lose.
So, let’s play smart. Let’s all agree to not comment any further and collectively win the game of saving time and avoiding the chaos of notifications.
Remember, your rational choice is to stay silent. Will you cooperate for the greater good, or will you defect and face the collective disappointment? The choice is yours.
To show your agreement with this plan, upvote this comment. It'll show others that they are not alone in this endeavor and that we are all agreeing to chose for this best strategy.

lol this is going to be very interesting

This suddenly reminds me of Last Pay Wins.

Yes, I was inspired by it

Instead of 24h, another idea would be a week or a month. Or last comment before bitcoin hits 69420 again
reply
I’d be tempted to write some code to comment at the right moment, but that feels like cheating. And I’m not at my computer
reply
0 sats \ 1 reply \ @ek OP 29 May
And I think you don’t want to be “that guy”, lol
But would be interesting to know for how many sats people would start to cheat
reply
Yea it’s more that my brain can’t help but “problem solve” so figuring out the best way to do this kind of thing
reply
How can i see when exactly it was posted?
reply
If you're on desktop, you can hover over the relative timestamp to see the absolute timestamp
If you're on mobile, you can't. But it's 2024-05-29T08:56:02.957Z, trust me
reply
Thanks, I use it mostly from mobile so I have to trust you:))
reply
Don’t trust, verify

Oh no! I just realized that tomorrow is a religious holiday, and most people (europe) will be sleeping by the time the 24-hour period ends. I had an idea to improve the SN, and maybe someone else has already thought of it too. It would help combat the disadvantage caused by time zones. The idea is to allow users to schedule posts, and in addition to the cost of the post, a fee could be added. cc: @k00b

Last comment for now haha
reply
We all somehow know how the algorithm works for being the top comment, but how does it work to be the last one? 🤔 😂
reply
Then the saying is true: the last shall be first. 😜
reply
Lol I am just here for the thread about to explode here
reply
I can see a last minute tussle between a few stackers who will be trying to post just at the last moment.

Last comment here!

I am so confused?? 24 hours? Wouldn't it make sense to just comeback in 24 h and just yak away?
reply
10 sats \ 4 replies \ @ek OP 29 May
Probably
But you assume you’ll have time in 24 hours and haven’t forgotten about it
reply
I think you're just going to attract sat hunters
reply
Did you just summon me?!
reply
it happens
reply
Couldn't one person just have a bunch of comments ready to go in 24 hours ready to go. Just shitposting. Unless this is what you want?
reply
The question is: Can someone make a comment before the 24 hour mark that's so amazing, it just shuts everyone up?
reply
20 sats \ 0 replies \ @ek OP 29 May
Next game: 100th comment wins 🤔

This is going to become a post full of spam! LoL

Just curious to know how @ek will evaluate the winner
I looked at the timestamps and deployed some crazy math that included subtracting numbers
reply
that's a funny game! Thanks for organising
reply
In what way? I am just curious...how would I have won?
reply

You would have won if the timestamp of your reply was after the replies of everyone else but before 2024-05-29T08:56:02.957Z
