10 sats \ 3 replies \ @Scoresby 1 Jun freebie \ parent \ on: Stacker Saloon
SN certainly isn't about making money. It's testing out how money can be used as a moderator. What sort of community is created when money is the moderator? Does it provide a better place to have the kind of conversation you are looking for? Maybe a 100 sat zap will do more to facilitate that than a 1 sat zap. Certainly worth experimenting with. But I don't think the number of sats a post attracts is the only sign of its success (however the poster might define that).
A negligible amount of money does nothing to prove out the concepts of money being used at all.

Fair. I wonder where the balance is though? Bitcoiners are notorious (possibly falsely) for not wanting to part with their sats. Previous polls/comments here lead me to suspect that a 1000 sat zap minimum would significantly reduce users. Yet $0.75 is still pretty negligible.
