I have a theory. You are seen as a villain by some, but I have a feeling that

You are a well known stacker, and
You have the best interests of Stacker News in mind

Why do I say this? Well, you could have kept a low profile and continued to collect sats with little effort indefinitely.

Therefore, what advice do you have for SN and the rewards system?

I'll point out here that @nullcount was the last person known to have cracked the leaderboard in this fashion.

Im pretty sure all of us have tried one time or another. I did for a while, it only lasted a week though. Because most of us make it on the board, it isnt so suspect when we move up a few ranks. But we all try to optimize our posting, right?

It's not as fun. I engaged in this depravity during MSM, but those were dark times and they called for dark measures.

22 sats \ 3 replies \ @Satosora 16 Sep

I dont think that is gaming, though. When we are optimizing our posting? Or is it?

20 sats \ 2 replies \ @Undisciplined 16 Sep

It's inauthentic to zap something just because you're confident others will zap it later, but there were a million sats on the line.

28 sats \ 1 reply \ @anon 16 Sep

Oh, to clarify, I NEVER EVER zap anything that I don’t think is sincerely good content. EVER

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @Satosora 16 Sep

You rarely post, though. I feel it is important to zap replys, because it keeps the conversation going. and is polite.

nemo playing around?

Can't be. I know who he is. Just my spy eyes have found him though I'm still trying to connect some broken pieces together. Will reveal once I have some strong evidence.

Dunno

Whos nemo?

43 sats \ 7 replies \ @Satosora 16 Sep

Actually, I suspect it is someone who knows SN well. How possible is it to game the system this well?

40 sats \ 6 replies \ @anon 16 Sep

I have learned stacker news pretty well, but again, not trying to game the system. “Gaming the system” was a bit of an accident, followed by a trolling of the system, and finally, realizing some folks were offended, hosting this AMA to determine if I want to continue zapping or just be a reader/poster.

20 sats \ 3 replies \ @Undisciplined 16 Sep

Did you have a system in place for zapping or was it serendipitous happenstance?

21 sats \ 2 replies \ @anon 16 Sep

I never zapped someone else’s content to get sats for myself, if that’s what you’re asking.

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @Undisciplined 16 Sep

No, I'm asking about the quantities you're zapping.

I first shot up the leaderboard, because I was running an experiment to figure out how much I should be zapping. #287074

I'm wondering if something similar is going on here.

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @Satosora 16 Sep

Its very interesting. Today, all the things you zapped were things I didnt. But to tell you the truth, I rarely zap stuff that is more technical, especially posts about the lightning network.

0 sats \ 1 reply \ @Satosora 16 Sep

At this point, I dont think anyone is going to downzap you on your AMA. You might as well post with your nym.

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @anon 16 Sep

I was not joking about not wanting to break character with the Wahlook account.

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @anon 16 Sep

Any stacker has the opportunity to set the record straight. Once the story is determined, Wahlook will not break character.
