31 sats \ 32 replies \ @Undisciplined 16 Sep 2024 \ on: Sahkaan Wahlook AMA lol
Why did you choose the five of us?
@Undisciplined - seem to have a friendly rivalry
@Satosora - seem to have a friendly rivalry
@0xbitcoiner - seem to have a friendly rivalry
@TheMorningStar - seems legitimately offended, I don’t feel comfortable not addressing this
@grayruby - seems legitimately offended and is actually my favorite stacker in all the land, if I can’t address his concerns, I will certainly stop the trolling and maybe stop zapping altogether
@coinsreporter would have been included if I could have forwarded zaps to more than five people.

In terms of your activity, I am more annoyed than offended. I was mildly offended in my debate with @k00b at the implication (which I don't think was his intent but was how it came across) your behavior holds more value than that of a lot of great stackers that put a lot of time and effort into the SN community.
Whatever your motives and whether you deem it as such or not, I perceived and still do, your activity in your Wizard form as net negative to the community and morale of stackers. Maybe I am not as open minded as other stackers.

OK, well this gets to the heart of why I wanna talk. Does it come across as creepy, because it’s definitely supposed to come across as fun? Even the idea of an AMA from a villain that’s not a big name in bitcoin is supposed to be a little fun while we’re hashing this out. But if it comes across as mean spirited, I certainly don’t mean that. I thought the fiction of it was over-the-top enough to be enjoyed as coffee break tomfoolery. Or is it just too much of a distraction from the serious content on the site?
If you give me that I’m not trying to game the system (the intentions of which are impossible to prove), what’s the primary net negative? Too creepy? Too much of a distraction? Or is it still something that’s going over my head?

Maybe they are all pissed off because you find out (before them) a way to play around with SN algo.
I am just a spectator in all this "drama". For me is not the main goal to earn more sats from SN.
But is fun that many stackers are in this AMA.
reply
No, I think many understand it fairly well, they just choose not to exploit it because the main goal is not to extract as many sats as possible out of SN.

TBH, I'm yet to believe that early zapping can rank someone so highly. I'm like 12+ hours on SN these days. But the leaderboard rank I'm getting these days hasn't come because of early zapping at all.
Someway, that's why I muted so many territories, and keep clean and reduced my SN feed. Otherwise I would be always in top 5 leaderboard if I would comment in all territories.
I think I know how he played the algo, some time ago I saw it playing with nemo some stupid games zapping each others. It's involved an anon zapping a lot beside that SN account.
You guys are not playing enough attention to what is going on in SN.
This AMA is a joke.
I think I am more amazed he can actually pick the correct posts to zap.
The touch of midas.
But it did bother me for a while that he didnt post anything, all he did was zap.

I think we have to get over that attitude. Zapping is one of the ways to add value to SN. Not everyone wants to talk and content curation is valuable.
Sure, the precise algorithm might not be perfectly tuned, but that's a different question.
reply
I am starting to understand that.

Zap ⚡ 10k Sats. Can you do it?

Nice try, fed!

You've been saying you aren't doing it for sats,
That's the real nice try, fed!

No, I don’t think it’s fair to judge someone’s intentions just because they won’t give you something. When I learned to solder, a friend gave me a soldering gun because he didn’t need it anymore. I never asked him for it. I’m not going to tell you if I still have that either, and I’m certainly not giving it to you if I do. I know a ton of other folks that would like it as well.
I think you’ve contributed good things to the ecosystem and I’ve zapped those posts and shared them with others (who have zapped them as well), but while I sympathize with gray ruby and the morning star’s concerns, this one is meritless. No one owes you personal property just because they weren’t seeking it out. I’ve never said I don’t need sats, but even if I didn’t, that doesn’t mean you’d be the default person for them to go to.

And you call yourself a wizard?
reply
Touché!

They have been watching the posts.
Wait, is it they?
He is a wizard, right?
Can wizards be a she?

I don't know, man, but anything can be an "it" if you care little enough about it.
