Here's the comment: #683684
You asked:
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...
I said:
For the OP, it's the same either way. For you, the late zaps are less eligible for rewards than your earlier ones.
You asked about zap timing, not sats, in a thread discussing rewards, not ranking. My answer to your question in that thread addresses the effect of zap timing on the reward "algo."
I might've misunderstood your question. You might've misunderstood my answer.

Is this the algo? (from github)
SELECT id, row_number() OVER (ORDER BY ((GREATEST("weightedVotes", POWER("weightedVotes", 1.2)) + "weightedComments"/2) / POWER(GREATEST(3, EXTRACT(EPOCH FROM (now_utc() - created_at))/3600), 1.3) + (boost/5000::float) / POWER(EXTRACT(EPOCH FROM (now_utc() - created_at))/3600+2, 2.6)) DESC NULLS LAST, id DESC) as rank FROM "Item" WHERE "parentId" IS NULL AND NOT bio AND "pinId" IS NULL AND "deletedAt" IS NULL AND "weightedVotes" > 0 ORDER BY ((GREATEST("weightedVotes", POWER("weightedVotes", 1.2)) + "weightedComments"/2) / POWER(GREATEST(3, EXTRACT(EPOCH FROM (now_utc() - created_at))/3600), 1.3) + (boost/5000::float) / POWER(EXTRACT(EPOCH FROM (now_utc() - created_at))/3600+2, 2.6)) DESC NULLS LAST, id DESC LIMIT 2100;

Thank you for sharing the actual code. This is the promise of FOSS SN. We don’t need to trust @k00b or risk misunderstanding an explanation from the FAQ. We can verify for ourselves! Which file had this snippet?

Maybe it was this one? stacker.news/prisma/migrations/20240228011144_user_values_view /migration.sql
I can't remember what I searched on right now. If you search for "weightedvotes" you get lots of results.
Honestly, this gives a clue to what might be going on, but to really say positively I'm not sure this is good enough.

Hey “weightedvotes” is already a clue! I appreciate ya, cowboy! 🤠

Well I am not sure how he can argue with this... Do love how he blamed the algorithm lmao!
Sounds like he is getting into political talking points!

Am I wrong? No, it’s the SN algo that’s wrong!😑

He really do be trying to blame everything but himself... I love how bounced out though and that he still keeps a photo of a comment I made like 5 months ago when I first joined lol

That screenshot is to remind everybody with who they are talking: a gov scum.
