Happy Sat-urday Stackers,

Have a great weekend!

Top Friday fun fact

Humans can’t walk in a straight line without looking at something.

If blindfolded, we gradually walk in a circle.

It seems like our brain needs a reference point to keep us on track!

Another great week. ek spending like a drunken sailor.

59 sats \ 23 replies \ @ek 9 Nov

True. I don't remember what I did to cause another 100k of spending. I only paid for ~crypto this week.

I should definitely switch to yearly at least, but that the rent in sats is independent of the exchange rate totally messes with my way of approaching it. I can't tell if it's better to spend my sats now or later.

155 sats \ 22 replies \ @grayruby 9 Nov

Any chance we can get a do your really want to spend like a drunken sailor prompt for custom zaps of 10k or more. I fat thumbed a 10k zap twice this week when I was aiming for 1k while I was on mobile. I seem to do it at least once a week. Haha

60 sats \ 21 replies \ @ek 9 Nov

What about zap undos which trigger at 10k? They should work well now unlike in the past sometimes.

Maybe you didn’t realize zap undos have a threshold at which they trigger? I have set mine to 1k.

We definitely want a prompt for big payments like for territories though. @k00b managed to accidentally found a territory haha. Seems like it even was for more than just a month?

44 sats \ 17 replies \ @grayruby 9 Nov

How do I do that?

74 sats \ 16 replies \ @ek 9 Nov

I’m sure if I don’t reply for a few minutes you’ll figure it out haha

I noticed that at least once in the past but not replying wasn’t on purpose

(It’s under advanced in your zap settings)

134 sats \ 15 replies \ @grayruby 9 Nov

Haha thanks.

Here is another question for you. I wanted to unlink my email which I did. Which wasn't smart because I tried to link my nostr and got this error message error: nostr extension failed to sign event

And so I tried to add my email back but it says it is taken. So right now I am living on the edge with only lightning as a way to login.

213 sats \ 14 replies \ @ek 9 Nov

Regarding email: Does it still say it is taken after you refreshed the page? Just trying to figure out what could cause this before I look deeper.

Regarding nostr: which extension did you use?

I didn't know they had a threshold either. That means I don't have to wait for smaller zaps to process before navigating away?

32 sats \ 1 reply \ @ek 10 Nov

Yes

Nice, I'm experimenting with a YOLO mode idea and would prefer not to empty my wallet in the process.

Great newsletter guys. Proud to be featured ;) (#2)

50 sats \ 27 replies \ @IamSINGLE 10 Nov

@denlillaapan has taken SN by storm. I'm loving his posts. They are all worth reading, full of reasoning and wisdom.

Thanks for the Newsletter.

Something is broken.

@grayruby referred me here for survivor pool degenerate gambling with him and @Coinsreporter and @Undisciplined.

But now my referral @denlillaapan is actually making ~econ great again and bailing out @jeff to make his territory profitable!

Whats the next level of this pyramid scheme? Is @denlillaapan referral @Shugard the next to take this place by storm? #750764

357 sats \ 10 replies \ @denlillaapan 10 Nov

It's like pyramid schemes work.

Also, MAKE ECON FUCKING DOPE GREAT!

50 sats \ 9 replies \ @Undisciplined 10 Nov

Yeah, I'm not seeing the problem here.

@grayruby lead the campaign for territories, so it's fitting that his down-line is making them profitable.

22 sats \ 8 replies \ @realBitcoinDog 10 Nov

I meant it’s funny how my posts are lower quality but it led to getting @denlillaapan and his high quality MONEY CLASS OF THE DAY posts!

Just an attempt at self-deprecating humor

0 sats \ 7 replies \ @Undisciplined 10 Nov

You don't recruit someone into your down-line because they move a lot of product themselves. You recruit someone who can recruit others who will move a lot of product.

wait, so I'm a dope drug dealer in this analogy?!

Absolutely! Keep dealing us those dopamine hits.

Who are your successful recruits to the SN pyramid scheme?

0 sats \ 3 replies \ @Undisciplined 10 Nov

I don't have any recruits comparable to you all.

ha ha, we do appreciate all contributions to ~@econ! Thank you!

Although, "profitable" is not something I would call ~econ. We are flirting with break-even over the trailing couple months, but definitely in red since inception.

I'm overdue to update the accounting for the last couple months. Will post something soon.

10 sats \ 1 reply \ @denlillaapan 10 Nov

appropriate! We gotta know the economics of ~econ.

That's for sure

We demand quarterly earnings calls!

@realBitcoinDog is back with tagging everyone like he owns all of them.

Good job!!!

Use my referral link to @Coinsreporter cricket pool so I can milk you for sats #760320

30 sats \ 3 replies \ @IamSINGLE 10 Nov

I've clicked it just to fill your begging bag. ;) Never mind I'm also there, that's a big prize money 100k sats.

0 sats \ 2 replies \ @realBitcoinDog 10 Nov

Enough to found a territory!

30 sats \ 1 reply \ @IamSINGLE 10 Nov

You're jumping jack n Jill! Territories won't ever be less than 100k sats I believe. With the rise of Bitcoin, Stacker News will also rise so much that @k00b might be forced to increase the territory price. It's better you but it now or never.
