58 sats \ 7 replies \ @DarthCoin 14 Oct \ on: SN elects to go noncustodial on Nov. 5th - FAQ & AMA meta
This will create a lot of confusing among stackers. I repeat: you should separate "upvotes" from "zaps".
  • upvotes = use cowboy credits, stackers must buy them with sats from SN. These will not be able to withdraw, only circulate inside SN.
  • zaps = use real sats, with external wallets attached and stackers will give them SEPARATELY to anybody else

Not to take the unpopular opinion, but stacker news was about using bitcoin and zapping them back and forth. That is what made is so unique. Not that cowboy credits will be different, just something we have to get used to. How will the algorithm and everything work with cowboy credits and zaps? @ek @k00b

How will the algorithm and everything work with cowboy credits and zaps?
Exactly the same. CCs are sats as far as the algorithm is concerned since every CC was once a real sat. CCs become real sats again only through rewards.

Ah, okay. So nothing really changes, except we have to attach a wallet. So would I have two different values if I just keep my btc on here?

In case you do not want to attach an external wallet, swaps between stackers will be in place.

I dont really want to attach an external wallet.... Eventually I will have to take these btc out of here, just am not in such a hurry. If cowboy credits will equal 1 sat, I wont really mind using CC, either. Just something I will have to get used to.

Stacker News is, and was, such a special place on the internet. Sats to post, sats to comment... it is the best.
I don't want cowboy credits. I want to send and receive real sats. In my opinion it's easier the 'old way' than having to attach multiple wallets. Just to send and receive.
Receiving is easier (i guess) through an LN address but what about sending? It somewhat complicates the UI imo.
