Top Friday fun fact

Did you know the longest math equation ever solved is the Boolean Pythagorean Triples problem.

It would take 10 billion years for a human being to read it. With its phenomenal size of 200 terabytes—the equivalent of all of the digital texts held by the Library of Congress—it is the longest mathematical proof ever produced.

Well curated! This week's been amazing. I especially liked @plebpoet post about Farm. I'm feeling big on motivation. When I could farm on a large scale, I'll also do the same.

My first week and I already made top Meta! Awesome!!

Looks like @grayruby and @Undisciplined cracked the code. Despite being some of this weeks top spenders, they stacked more than they spent!

You have to spend money to make money.

Not in my case, I won Fun Fact in 1 Sat.

10 sats \ 4 replies \ @realBitcoinDog 6 Oct

I will give 1 sat to you sir xD

141 sats \ 3 replies \ @TheMorningStar 6 Oct

Thanks Look you got 10 times more.

10 sats \ 2 replies \ @realBitcoinDog 6 Oct

10x it again. this can't go wrong xD

I don't do fun with my Sats. They are precious.

Good work, if you can get it.

Circular bitcoin economy.

113 sats \ 1 reply \ @grayruby 5 Oct

I usually try to spend as much as I stack.

STACK HARDER!

@k00b, why aren't you on the Top Cowboy list?

You were pretty adamant with @Car about having earned your spot.

31 sats \ 7 replies \ @k00b OP 5 Oct

I filter myself out. I'd be on the top of all the lists most weeks which is lame.

71 sats \ 6 replies \ @Undisciplined 5 Oct

That seems pretty badass to me. I'd actually enjoy it if you and @ek got un-nerfed so that we could have a fair contest.

136 sats \ 5 replies \ @k00b OP 5 Oct

It wouldn't be fair though. We have extra incentives.

184 sats \ 2 replies \ @Undisciplined 5 Oct

If you believe that your rewards system incentivizes positive contributions, wouldn't those extra incentives still manifest in beneficial behavior.

I'm pretty sure that some of us will still regularly beat @ek.

@siggy47 (presumably) and I are the only ones who will really be negatively impacted by you going full force. Give us a challenge and give yourselves stronger incentives to contribute.

29 sats \ 1 reply \ @k00b OP 5 Oct

Hmmm I should at least un-nerf @ek. I did start earning revenue for my territories recently and that's pretty nice (although I never "paid" for them either).

Before we nerfed kr and I, we'd always be at the top.

20 sats \ 0 replies \ @Undisciplined 5 Oct

It doesn't make a ton of sense for you to pay for them, since that just goes right back to you.

20 sats \ 1 reply \ @realBitcoinDog 5 Oct

But do you? It’s FOSS. Do you take a salary from the fees? Who is hosting the servers SN runs on?

100 sats \ 0 replies \ @k00b OP 5 Oct

We have VC funding so we pay ourselves with that. We have a bit of revenue from territories but we are super duper far from being profitable.

Thanks for the newsletter The biggest highlight is @Scoresby that's a legendary post. All top posts are good, but he took it to another level.

68 sats \ 0 replies \ @TheMorningStar 6 Oct

This week's been so full of knowledge and fun. The post by @final and @plebpoet are my favourite (buy we have some NSFW by @Scoresby, we can read it alone)

110 sats \ 1 reply \ @grayruby 5 Oct

Need to up my spending rate. This was a dismal performance by me.

Do better. Hyperbitcoinization needs you!
