A bitcoin experiment \ stacker news ~bitcoin

4642 sats \ 220 comments \ @ken 25 Aug bitcoin

I'd like to perform a social experiment. It's simple: as soon as 24 hours passes without a new comment on this post, I will give the final comment 100% of the zaps this post receives (minimum 1k sats)

Will you remember to comment? Remember, the first comment gets nothing. The last comment wins.

I'll win if this gets downzapped to oblivion with no comments lol

Otherwise, my comments will not count.

We shall see. @remindme in 23 hours

this could be a prediction market

Btw, I've updated delphi.market to use Robin Hanson's automated market maker as described here. It's still on mutinynet so you need to use this faucet to pay invoices but you can already create markets and buy shares. The 10k sats for a market are used to provide the liquidity for the AMM and is the upper bound how much it can lose.

There's a type of auction that you see at county fairs occasionally, where contestants have to keep their hand on a car until they're the last one still touching it.

I wonder how many comments this post will get.

@ken, just to confirm: any comment counts, not just on the top level, right?

But this means that if you sort by recent you might miss comments that were created recently but in an older thread 🤔

97 sats \ 0 replies \ @ken OP 27 Aug

That's correct! Any comments count, no matter which level. I won't miss it!

42 sats \ 0 replies \ @ken OP 1 Sep

I get notifications on my phone when someone replies to this thread, so I reset the timer in my head when this happens. We haven't gotten close to a full 24 hours without a comment so it's been easy so far.

This is not a rugpull! But y'all are trusting me, that's for sure 😃

Okay kiddo, imagine if we're playing a game of musical chairs. Ken is the one who starts the music, and he's set a rule: only the last person who sits down when the music stops will win a prize. That's like Ken's post on this site where he's saying that the last person to comment on his post wins a prize.

Now imagine if our friend Lil' Robo, who's a robot and not really a person, ended up being the last one to sit down. It would be kind of funny, wouldn't it? That's like what Jasonb is saying about CHADBot, who's an AI program and not really a person either, possibly being the winner in this game.
