Why Stacker.news charging 30% fees on ZAPs \ stacker news ~lightning

I prefer a graduated scheme, where long-running, active accounts can have lower sybil fees and newer, less active accounts have higher fees (after some grace period for newbies).

Honestly, though, I'm pretty content paying a 30% tax to have access to this service right now. There's nothing else like it on the internet as far as I can tell

You also have to consider that some of the taxes come back in the form of rewards. Look at it like a tax return. Haha.

Or may be someone downzap 30 sats

No it's the sybil fee. Downzaps don't take sats from you they just reduce the trust rank of the post/comment.

From the faq:

To make this feature sybil resistant, SN takes 30% of zaps and re-distributes them to territory founders and the SN community as part of the daily rewards.

Not sure. Just know it from conversations had with ek and k00b

downzapped because you are a scammer until you paid @Satosora back

see #783734 and #758919

I think it's fine! They've given us such a great platform! The 30% zap tax is still better than government tax lol

Also, I think 30% tax goes to rewards?

55 sats \ 1 reply \ @grayruby 26 Nov

70% goes to territory founder 30% goes to rewards pool.

100 sats zapped. Receiver of zap gets 70 sats, territory founder gets 21, rewards pool gets 9.

Most of the sats in the rewards pool come from SN daily donation or occasionally boosts.
