we'll see if it makes people a lot more stingy
That was one of my concerns about attached wallets. One of the major reasons this site works is that people like us do zap freely. Hopefully, enough ground work has been done that people will continue doing so, since it's in their own interest.
I was thinking the same thing.
New nostr users can barely figure out how lightning addresses work. I kid you not. I've helped a few. I say "go to edit profile and put in your lightning address." They say "Oh ok nice, i did it" And I say "That's not a lightning address"
reply
Right they think it’s an invoice 🙄
But I remember my own journey that just BITCOIN is such a huge deal. Lightning is even more insane of a rabbit hole!

Think my wife put her nsec in there once and got her account rugged.
The joys of learning.

Fortunately I never did that, but I was in the no-idea-what-I'm doing boat not all that long ago.

Still don’t know what I’m doing sometimes Primal takes forever to load and I just give up

You got your wife to sign up to ~nostr?!?
What about SN? 🤣🤣
reply
Yep, say things like "Hey did you see that last darthcoin post"
She usually says no, but i see her looking through posts occasionally.
reply
“Hey did you listen to my latest song? Did you like it? @realBitcoinDog listened. He liked it. He zapped me. How come you didn’t zap me? YOU DONT SUPPORT ME! 😭😭”
reply
I wonder if that will really play a role? Most people make enough in their firdt week to sustain themselves indefinitely, right? I mean, its not like we are becoming sat rich on SN. Lol
reply
Well I almost went broke cuz I was zapping 100 sats like crazy at first. And then also I’ve given our 7 or 8 1000 day invite links. And ppl have redeemed them!
Hoping to get a vicious cycle going where I get returns, but it’ll be a while for me to get the ROI!

I think it is better to get quality people instead of quantity. But you do you bu
reply
They’re all quality people, but that means time is scarce for all of them between all their commitments.
So given that they’re all quality, it’s a numbers game to see who gets hooked like I did 🤷‍♂️
reply
Definitely I think there’s an didn’t like ppl enjoy hitting the ⚡️ button.
It’s a lot more satisfying a user experience than going to their bio, looking up their SN lnurl, and then opening up your ln wallet to zap em, and deciding how much to zap. And to what end? Not as easy to tie directly to “why” you’re donating to them
reply
Given the inability to exchange CC's for satoshis, will this create a system where users are incentivized to spend their entire daily allotment? Or, put another way, is there any economic benefit to holding onto these coins? Is that correct?
reply
Im thinking the first day it rolls out will be like when sweden changed traffic to the opposite side.
reply
It's not the end of the world, but I'm a bit worried because my attached wallet (alby extension) isn't working properly.
reply
Everything will still work with CCs, so dont let it bother you too much.
reply
But I don’t want CCs! The promise of the premise is sats
reply
It would be hilarious if ccs became a shitcoin. Lol @DarthCoin would die
reply
He would suddenly stop “stacker is hidden” and show off how many cowboy credits he has and chase growing his cc pile as high as possible
reply
right! My concern is not so much for myself (I don't do this for a living :)), my concern is more for the future of SN!
reply
WE HAVE CONCERNS
Cmon bruh. Let’s get to the nasty truth. who hosts the servers
Can one of us support the site if needed?
reply
I'm having trouble with mine, too. I think it'll get worked out in the next couple weeks.
reply
I deactivated the receiving wallet because it was only processing autowithdraws, and sometimes multiple ones for the same satoshis tranche, very confusing!
reply
I think we're having the same issue.
reply
Is this issue unique to Alby?
Alby is famous! I’m surprised you’re having any issues at all!
reply
I don't know. Other people seem to be using it without issue.
I wonder if the site will crash when they change over?
reply
I think the site won’t crash, but there may be bugs
reply
Im sure things will need to be worked out. @k00b is there a beta version?
reply
163 sats \ 7 replies \ @k00b 17 Oct
We're all using the beta version :)
Is it alby?
reply
Yea I still need to try Coinos
reply
Canadian wallet! I've never tried it but I know @grayruby uses it and I don't think he has any reason to complain.
reply
Very easy to use. Only issue is sometimes small zaps fail. If I only zap 10 sats I occasionally get a failure notice. I rarely zap that low so isn’t a big deal for me but if someone had their default zap at 10 it might be an issue.
@adam_coinos_io is on SN so if you have questions about the wallet, you should ask him.
@Bell_curve was the one that informed me about coinos.
reply
Ok maybe I’ll have to raise my default from 10 to 21 or something I don’t want the hassle of failed zaps!
Or should I do 50 like someone I know??
reply
Try random with a range of 1-1000 😂
I’ll say I’ll stay offline that day, but it’ll be such a juicy day to accidentally earn cowboy credits while reporting bugs!
reply
Im sure l will be online, watching the confusion and being confused. I am lookijg forward to trying the CCs.
reply
Wait did u write all those wallet guides just to use CCs yourself anyways??
reply
I havent written any guides.
reply
I smell an opportunity
reply
There is no opportunity, nor am l interested.
Well if you earn cowboy credits, can those eventually turn into sats once you do attach a bitcoin wallet?
Like u won’t have two separate balances, right? Or no?
reply

CC can't be exchanged into real Sats unless you're exchanging it against another person that are willing to give you real Sats

You will have 2 balance after Nov 5th, Cowboy Credits & Rewards Sats (real sats)

10 sats \ 0 replies \ @k00b 17 Oct
You’re right.
reply
They can be indirectly converted into sats, via the rewards payments. The CC that go into the rewards pool turn back into sats.
reply
33 sats \ 11 replies \ @k00b 17 Oct
Yep.
reply
It took me a little while, but I finally got it.
reply
But the cc's you accumulate cannot be converted, only spent. That's why I say that the system encourages you to spend your entire stock of cc's.
reply
I see what you mean. The only way to get real sats is to spend all your CC.
How many CC do you expect to see? It seems like most of the big zappers are trying to get their wallets figured out.
A screenshot showing two balances already would be helpful! A screenshot of “wallet” tab or something. Hope they reply!

We haven’t wrote the code yet, so we’ll all have to imagine it :)
reply
Haha!! Sounds like 11/5 might be a fake deadline to get the users ready. But I promise not to tell anyone 🤐
reply
If I understand correctly, you'll have two balances. The satoshis balance is only the ones you have when you migrate on November 5th and rewards earned (you can only withdraw them). After that date, if you have a wallet attached, it's all p2p, if not, it's with CC's.
reply
A clear explanation! I wanna see a sample screenshot now of how the wallet tab will look
