I didn't feel that the article actually fits into any of these. ~News can be as it's recent but it's more like an article on the outcome of the debate.

It's not good not to have Politics in territories. It's a bigger problem for me than the rewards algo.

The fees on ~alter_native is so low that your article won't show even in the recent until someone deliberately move to the territory and finds tour article than zap it.

Okay, as @siggy47 and you both have mentioned ~news as priority, no need to wait for @grayruby, let him fight for a cause. He is doing great.

I just noticed one of my posts where I didn't pay the posting fee (some NWC problem), 9 hours ago at the moment of posting it. But when I pay the fee now, it still shows the post as created 9 hours ago. This is an extreme case, but I wonder if this is the desired behavior. See #683600 for screenshot and link to the post.

Alright, got the NWC kind of working on zaplist.

Ended up using Bitcoin Connect, but need to place and style it in the new start menu.

Would like to figure out zap streaming. I want to give users the ability to stream sats to freaks.

Playing around creating music and short stories, looking to come out with a project called "Billy Death", maybe a combination of 3 short stories and 3 lo-fi beat tapes.

I'm thinking the album artwork should look something like this

Or this

Why do you think they're an abuser?

20 sats \ 2 replies \ @DarthCoin 13 Sep

Not related to this debate, but came to my mind something and wanted to ask you about. If I zap a post, let's say I am the 1st one, with 100 sats. I also comment first. Then after a while, after I wait until more are coming to comment and zap, I zap again same post let's say 1000 sats. Then after a while again 2000 sats. Is this affecting the algo for the OP and for me ?

I am just curious how this plays out. You know I am not interested in gainz...

31 sats \ 1 reply \ @k00b 13 Sep

For the OP, it's the same either way. For you, the late zaps are less eligible for rewards than your earlier ones.

110 sats \ 0 replies \ @DarthCoin 13 Sep

goood, as I expect it.

126 sats \ 33 replies \ @grayruby 13 Sep

Abuser, gaming the system, call it what you will. Three days in a row they have been in the top 5 earning thousands of sats in rewards just by zapping content early. They had no posts and comments two days ago and around 400 sats zapped and generated 4800 in rewards (give or take). Yesterday they had one comment (which was directed at Undisciplined for calling them out and posted one music video that was not a popular post). They did zap over 2k sats yesterday in order to earn over 5k rewards and today have made the one comment on fun fact friday and zapped around 700 sats and are currently in position to earn over 5k sats. I don't consider this value additive behavior.

People may disagree with me and that's fine. Ideally the reward system and community should have an immune response to those trying to take advantage of it and the perpetrators should not have long term success. We will see if that's the case.

I downzapped their comment 1k sats yesterday and that had no effect. Which is understandable as I am only one stacker but I say let the stackers decide if they want to vote with their sats in favour or against this behaviour.

30 sats \ 0 replies \ @Coinsreporter 13 Sep

I agree. Downzapping seems to be not working upon him!

30 sats \ 31 replies \ @k00b 13 Sep

Zapping early is value added though else these things people later agree are good would never be seen. Careful zapping is expensive even if the effort isn't visible. It's the rarest behavior stackers engage in.

52 sats \ 23 replies \ @grayruby 13 Sep

They are clearly only zapping high value stackers content that is likely to end up as top posts as a strategy to earn sats. Sorry, I don't agree that is value added. That is gaming the system but if you are good with it then so be it. I don't really care about earning sats, pretty much every sat I have ever earned on SN has gone back into the community but personally I would rather see the largest pools of daily rewards sats go to stackers who are actually participating in the daily discourse on SN not judiciously zapping.

Your site though so if you think someone zapping top stackers content early so they can earn thousands of sats in rewards and doing nothing else on site adds more value that people who are posting, commenting, zapping, getting zapped, that's your prerogative but I think most stackers would disagree.

That's my position. I don't want to debate it further. You incentivize what you want on your site.

0 sats \ 22 replies \ @k00b 13 Sep

I didn't mean to sound like I was debating. I was trying to share more context.

They are clearly only zapping high value stackers content that is likely to end up as top posts as a strategy to earn sats.

fwiw I looked at what they are doing and that's not what they are doing.

20 sats \ 20 replies \ @grayruby 13 Sep

Ok so then you are suggesting that we should all be merely trying to replicate their behaviour as that behaviour is more highly valued than creating content, commenting and engaging with others. Zapping and getting zapped. I realize you have a difficult problem creating a mechanism to avoid spam and sats farming and trying to make it costly for those that try. Maybe the system isn’t always perfect and there will be anomalies but quite honestly the implication that they deserve their position because they are creating more value than some of the amazing stackers that are below them in the rewards ranks is mildly offensive to me.

31 sats \ 19 replies \ @k00b 13 Sep

I'm not trying to make a judgement about who is valuable and who isn't - especially to me. I was sharing that our ranking algorithm requires brave souls zapping great, widely appealing, content early, which very very very few people do, and so our reward algorithm compensates for that.

I was trying to share the assumptions made when the algorithm was designed. I'm sorry it seems unfair. I want it to be fair.

30 sats \ 0 replies \ @TheMorningStar 13 Sep

Sorry to interfere But it does feel bad when someone without making any contribution by posting or commenting becomes the top stacker. If by only zapping we can be in top 10 stackers that too regularly, which makes the behaviour suspicious.

100 sats \ 6 replies \ @jakoyoh629 13 Sep

After reading the comments yesterday, it's clear that to replicate this performance, you need to zap big the posts that will become top posts. But is that really the answer? I believe it's incredibly challenging, as it demands an intimate knowledge of the stackers' preferences.

10 sats \ 4 replies \ @grayruby 13 Sep

It requires subbing to the top stackers and having a bot zap them as soon as they post.

0 sats \ 3 replies \ @jakoyoh629 13 Sep

That's not gonna work. Check out my last comment.

21 sats \ 2 replies \ @grayruby 13 Sep

Great we should all aim to do nothing but try to zap content that will become top posts early.

I don’t want to spend my time doing that but if that’s what is the most valuable behaviour should we not all be trying to create the most value.

Nice knowing you SN when 75% of the content goes away so we can all try to game rewards.

Customary Law:

Sometimes referred to as Traditional Law, Customary Law historically is the tradition of indigenous people, who generationally pass on the culture, customs, ethics and procedures on to the new generation, often orally, including song, dance and even story telling.

Overtime a legal custom is then established that follows the pattern of behaviour that can be objectively verified within a particular social setting. A claim can then be carried out in defence of "what has always been done is now accepted by law".

Marriage is one example of Customary Law. Age of consent is another. This is where the age of consent is agreed through history, custom and tradition, which is ethically the right thing to do.

Within history, most cultures celebrate coming of age, this is where all the rights and responsibilities are given to the child who has now become an adult.

Note: There is only one age of consent, within England it is 16. Other ages, such as 17, 18, and 21 are referred to as Legal Age of Majority, which is based in legislation, and have nothing to do with law.

https://youtu.be/ddq8JIMhz7c?si=3brV0_NUUVOilQdg Key Insights (as per NoteGPT.io summary): 🧠 Neuroplasticity & Learning: Understanding how the brain changes with experience is key to effective study strategies. Engaging in challenging material fosters lasting learning.

📝 Testing as a Tool: Self-testing is not just for evaluation but is a powerful method to reinforce knowledge and identify gaps in understanding, significantly improving retention.

🌙 Importance of Sleep: Sleep plays a critical role in memory consolidation. Prioritizing quality sleep enhances the brain’s ability to integrate and recall learned information.

🔄 Interleaving: Mixing different subjects or concepts during study helps create connections and enhances learning, making it easier to retrieve information later.

🧘‍♂️ Mindfulness Meditation: Regular mindfulness practices improve focus, reduce anxiety, and enhance cognitive flexibility, which aids in the learning process.

👩‍🏫 Peer Teaching: Teaching others helps solidify one’s own understanding and mastery of the material, making it a beneficial strategy for effective learning.

❤️ Emotional Engagement: Leveraging emotional contexts in learning experiences can significantly enhance memory retention due to the activation of neurochemicals associated with strong emotional responses.
