For those of you who pay attention to the leaderboard, are you visible on there? If you choose not to say, why so? I am curious what people see as the pros and cons of making themselves seen there. I do check on it because I want to make an impact here. I am invisible right now but I am not sure why. What are the reasons to remain anonymous and / or to strut your stuff? I love to hear from you all.

I would tell you to check all of @nemo's posts, but you can't. They're all deleted.

The replies with missing context are often hilarious though. The best I've found so far is #332062.

Why are they deleted?

He's gone completely private, like a ghost hovering amongst us.

I'm scared. He is the only and the biggest ghost here!!

How does that work? Like he posts stuff and then deletes it? I am a ghost in the physical world so I am very intrigued..

Now he doesn't post but he's always among us. If you anytime see two stackers fighting or arguing, consider @nemo paranormal has been affecting that fight.

Each has their own philosophy. Beibg visible does help, you can actually click on them and see what they have been up to. I enjoy doing that to @Undisciplined, because his posts are ones l like to comment on. Usually the same 20 people are on the top of the list.

Makes sense. I am thinking about coming out of the shadows.

11 sats \ 0 replies \ @Satosora 21 Sep

After a while you kind of figure out who they are if you arent dense. You just have to go a roundabout way to find their stuff.

This just in. @Undisciplined has shared with me the ultimate secret to success here on stacker news.

this post made me realize i fell out of the top 50 all time spend.. i need to re-up my game

I always keep myself visible on the leaderboard. I am usually around the same spot 5-10 and stacking and spending around the same amounts daily so I don't feel the need to hide. I do hide the account for sports pools though. I don't think stackers need to know how much or how little zaps and rewards the pool account is getting. If I choose to personally cover a deficit when the prize pools are short due to zap fees or collect a small profit when the account accumulates more than the prize pool due to rewards I don't think stackers need to know. Now that the fee is at 30% we will probably have to change the way the pools are structured to buy in and pay out so it might not matter and maybe I will make the account public again. But I also don't want stackers to think it is unfair when that account gets to say the top 20.

That's interesting. Yes. I have noticed you are one of the few that are close to the top that is visible. Either way, great work. Thanks for all that you do.

32 sats \ 3 replies \ @Undisciplined 21 Sep

I liked being able to see what the top stackers were doing to get there, so now I'm staying visible so others can see how I'm staying up there.

Having our stats visible also enables some friendly rivalry for the regulars.

You are killing it. What's the biggest secret?

11 sats \ 1 reply \ @Undisciplined 21 Sep

Zap big. Zap often. Comment on people's stuff.

33 sats \ 0 replies \ @DesertDave OP 21 Sep

I thought so. Just like the physical world. What you give comes back to you. This is why I love stacker. The incentive structure is key.

To be honest, I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE I AM. I was once told where to look and I couldn't find it. So it seems I'm still way down. But I'll keep working, even if I don't show up anywhere. I owe it to SN. He's given me more than his team imagined, and I'm not just talking about SATs.

11 sats \ 4 replies \ @Coinsreporter 21 Sep

I'm not seen on the leaderboard because I never reach there. I wish I could reach on the leaderboard one day and you can congratulate me. How do you make it to the leaderboard. Tell me your secret, please.

10 sats \ 3 replies \ @DesertDave OP 21 Sep

I am guessing you are on there. Right???

11 sats \ 2 replies \ @Coinsreporter 21 Sep

Can you see me there? I can't see, may be there's some glitch on SN.

10 sats \ 1 reply \ @DesertDave OP 21 Sep

I feel like I have and I see you around so I assume you are there in hiding.

Now you see me!! 😜😜

Transparency good!

21 sats \ 0 replies \ @DesertDave OP 21 Sep

This one comment has me thinking about going visible. I think I like transparency...

21 sats \ 0 replies \ @DesertDave OP 21 Sep

Another good take. I like transparency. And I feel like keeping things to myself is empowering. What to do...hmmm

Privacy is power

2 sats \ 0 replies \ @DesertDave OP 21 Sep

I feel this. In general I keep things to myself. I guess that's why I have chosen to be invisible thus far.
