Parents’ Corner: 2am delusions with @k00b

That face.

Sitting across from me in the living room in the rocking chair.

“What are we going to do?” He asks.

“What do you mean @k00b?” I raise my voice over the cries of our newborn who looks like Toad.

“What are we going to do to make Stacker News be immortal?”

“Shhhhh. Jesus @k00b. I’m just trying to quiet the baby here. It’s 2am and he’s hungry again. Are you getting your rest? We have to feed him every three hours!”

“Feed the beast, @realBitcoinDog. How do we keep these territory founders fed and happy? How do we turn their territories into fusion reactors achieving net-energy??”

“Goddammit @k00b! I’m tired and want to go to bed. Just give them what they want. JUST TURN UP THE REWARDS!!”

/end.

FWIW I’ve got a canned “immortal communities” post I’m saving to publish until 9am EST, so four more hours, but goddamn if it didn’t haunt my dreams tonight! This was just a dream, right?

I know you're probably tongue in cheek. But i don't think turning up the rewards towards the territory owners once more would be justifiable. I want to have something that is long term sustainable. For that, one needs more users. And users probably can stomach a 30% cut on their zaps, but it would start to feel like rent seeking if at every 10 sat zap i receive as a user, 5 sats are taken by the overlords ;)

Ha I was just having fun. But sometimes there is truth in delusions

As someone receiving the zaps I definitely feel it when my attached wallet shows only 7 or 70 sats received!

I agree 30% is probably the highest to go.

SN is like Bitcoin all about balanced incentives!

As a territory owner, I am delighted by the new 30%. I finally felt like it would be possible, at some point in the future, not to run it at a loss anymore. But yeah, as I said, more is too much.
