58 sats \ 9 replies \ @carlosfandango 16 Jun \ on: When to increase your zap? meta
The real expert on this is @Undisciplined - I guess there could be a common number relative to stack size….
But really it’s about rewarding value you receive relative to your personal metrics and part of that metric could be the sats you have withdrawn and spent keeps that number down.
(Apologies stream of consciousness reply lol)
I understand, my intention is to give away more sats while increasing my balance, which in the end rewards back to both the Stackers and me, so it's a Win-Win and that's what I'm looking for.

You are a person after my own heart!
It just so happens that my highest rated post #287074 is about exactly this.
However, I've adjusted my methods a little. Now, I keep an eye on my estimated rewards and spending on the leaderboard. If my spending is substantially below rewards, I make a point of zapping a bit more.
Shortly after I joined Stacker News there were a couple of big discussions encouraging people to increase the amount they were zapping. That's what kicked off my obsessions with trying to get it right and encouraging others to zap more.

This is what I wanted to hear, yes, I am also looking at the table now, to adjust my expenses, I think it has been a good option to increase my zap, I think I will continue to do it as long as the margins remain optimal, I want to be a Big Zapper!

In case it helps, I also wrote a post about specific zap values, so people could be more competitive zappers: #561854.
There is very much an upper limit, where zaps no longer pay off, but it's higher than most people think.

thank you! I'm going to read it right now

Absolutely - wasn’t criticising your plan which is sounds.
I was really exploring the idea that each stacker has a different idea, based on whether they withdraw their sats and spend them/ deep storage etc, and that affects what an increasing stack looks like to them. This may be influenced by the 10k maximum holding on SN as well.
The stack-spend metrics for visible stackers and SN analytics are quite interesting for this.

Some people do apparently…

Yes, everyone has a way of looking at it, I guess many will be doing the same thing as me while others keep their zap static, anyway, any method is good, the important thing is to zap as much as you can!
