Yesterday's edition #600906
Is it possible for these posts and comments to become top posts and comments today, if people zap them?
I'm not sure if I understand exactly how that works. Is it based on when stuff gets zapped or is it based on when it's posted?

Bitcoin needs more Record, Comic and Book Shops

Bitcoin needs more cultural hubs, and I'm referring to the curator/gate keeper/provocateur of everything that is of and related to the Bitcoin ethos. Even things only tertiary or tangently related.

I'll be honest this sounds made up, but if it is, it is very good viral marketing.

When it's posted. I'd like to make it based on when it's zapped though.
I have an idea, then, for how to incorporate "zapping early" with these older posts being rediscovered, for after you make that change.
On any day when a post/comment is a top post/comment, the earliest zapper will be whomever zapped it first on that day. Basically, the clock starts retroactively, conditional on being a top item of the day.
I like that. I hadn't thought about how we'd reward it, but that seems spot on.
An addendum just occurred to me. Posts/comments should retain their "top" status until they have a day where they aren't zapped sufficiently. You don't want a post that's popular for two days in a row resetting at midnight and starting the early clock over again.
What about something that scales the age of the post and how many sats it got.
Really old posts with 0 sats will reward more if they reach top.
Ah I see your point. As a consequence of restarting the clock though, I think that's how it'd work unless I went out my way to make it not that way.
Nice, that makes sense
Won't it be allow some posts to run longer than a day? This may impact daily writing efforts negatively. People may start writing less if they can get the same results with one post!
That would only be true if the post were providing people value for multiple days. Why shouldn't posts that provide enduring value be rewarded for doing so?
What about new content? If the old content keep on generating rewards for multiple days, the new content might be irrelevant or less zapped resulting in demotivating Stackers to post or comment more freely and frequently.
Don't we need more and more content, be it less or more interesting?
I strongly doubt we'll get to that point. This is Stacker News, after all. There's always new stuff to talk about.
I also doubt it but possibilities are possibilities. We can't be sure, so I would go with an experimentation. If it works positively, we should embrace. No issues then.
It's all experimental
Yes, it is!
I think it's a good idea. My be with it people start posting high value content only. The stuff that's light won't find a place and I'll have no place. SN will probably be a place for plebs only.
You'll do fine. Don't FUD yourself. SN will need to change over time and we'll all try to make sure it's for the better.
I doubt there will be more than a few old posts that make it to the daily top posts.
It would be pretty cool if occasionally an old classic post made it into the daily top posts.
