205 sats \ 18 replies \ @DarthCoin 18 Oct 2022 \ on: Proposal: personal blog @ SN meta
Not sure if I would be using too much SN.
Lately the amount of shitcoining / shitposting on SN is increasing at levels that makes me not anymore interested to visit SN and posting more stuff.
Slowly the alternative to reddit, cleaner and more interesting, became a new old reddit full of useless "news" and ramblings around shitcoins.
I notice that also bitcoin / lightning devs start avoiding to come back here, exactly because of that. Shame, I thought SN will be a nice platform for Bitcoin/LN discussions, but seems to became a "milking cow" of sats by people that don't have any intention to bring some good content.
The few users here that post good content, I feel them tired too.
I don't know how SN could get out from this chicken and egg game. I think will be better to give less incentives for all and don't make SN as another "passive earning" tool. People must work hard to earn real sats.
Maybe a separation of "boosts" from tips, will help. Tipping sats must be something that the reader really appreciate and want to show that appreciation. Boosts must be only when the reader want that post to be more visible and more discussed. Right now not all SN users know that.
And btw... I do not want to "paywall" my guides. Bitcoin information and guides must be free forever. If the reader really want to send some sats as appreciation for the help I provided, is their own choice, I do not force anybody to pay for my guides.
Maybe I'm not looking hard enough but I haven't seen any shitcoining here, can someone link some examples?

of course you don't see them, you are still influenced by them and still consider them a "normality". That means you are quite "new" in bitcoin space.

An empty zero sats comment by 2 days ago? Really? :)
No one noted it, and this is absolutely fine.
reply
He is actually referring to my own comment expecting it to be some kind of sick burn.
Some some-called "hardcore" bitcoiners still have the mentality of a 5 year old.
reply
Care to explain how am I still influenced by them?
Do you even know how long ago I was orangepilled or are you just forcing your own blinded narrative anyway you can?
Your sense of entitlement and ad hominem attacks is in very poor taste.

Don't take DarthCoin's jabs personally. He is hardcore bitcoin, thus the vader reference in his nym.
Having to defend bitcoin gets tiring, and even though bitcoin doesn't really need defending, working to educate people about it and having to answer the same questions and objections over and over can lead a maximalist to look for something that is more echo-chamberish. Hoping for a public platform like SN to be that echo chamber is probably misplaced. SN is intended (I think) to be that sword edge to slice through lies and ignorance for those seeking the truth.
Darthcoin has explained himself many times, that he was never a shitcoiner, and therefore has no empathy for those repeating the objections against the design decisions and optimization for decentralization that were made by Satoshi himself. To attempt discussions about these topics, revisiting the block size/time debate years after its been settled by the market should bring with it an expectation you will be confronted. For the moment, its a horse long dead.
reply
None of that relates to "being a hardcore bitcoiner" or "defending bitcoin". He's just being a douche.
No one here attacked bitcoin.
I don't take any of it personally, I just criticize that kind of nonsense, he can either take it or leave it.
reply
He is using one of your posts as an example, but its probably not a good one. There are lots of discussions here about blocksize and blocktime, and he seems to respond forcefully to almost each one. Agreed, he tends to come across as a dick or a douche, but as Saylor says this is a necessary service to enable adoption.

Where? I specifically asked in my original reply for stuff like that and was instead given an ad hominem attack.
I only found this:
Which is from last year. So 1 post in 2 years that respectfully asks about blocksize is the real basis for the tons of block size debates on SN?
Agreed, he tends to come across as a dick or a douche, but as Saylor says this is a necessary service to enable adoption.
I'm fine with being toxic to scammers and shitcoin shills, that is a white blood cell response. That is totally different from attacking other bitcoiners or even noobs without apparent reason.
Claiming that is a "necessary service" is disingenuous.
Also, I couldn't give a single fuck about who DarthCoin is or what is personality is like on Tuesdays. In bitcoinland everyone is an equal pleb. If he is expecting some kind of special treatment or seigniorage then he should shill fiat or other random shitcoins instead.
reply
All right then
To be honest, that's a bad example.
I also didn't notice any significant change so far.
reply
This will inevitably happen to any platform that becomes popular, plus SN has the added incentive of being rewarded for submitting popular content.
Hopefully, subs will help with this.

Thanks for the feedback!

people that don't have any intention to bring some good content.
People must work hard to earn real sats.
So let's move thoward a format that promote good content instead of links spammed to earn some sats.
Bitcoin information and guides must be free forever.
It is now an universal law :)
I do not force anybody to pay for my guides.
Legit. But someone could find a balance between work hard to produce good content and earn to live.

Then upvote the stuff you'd like to see, onboard people that you think will upvote the right content and let the free market decide.
If you're pissed that your specific topics and opinions are not shared by everyone nobody can help you with that. You don't live in a world revolving around you and no site in the world is going to change that. You're substack is the pinnacle of this vanity.
reply
What do you mean with
You're substack is the pinnacle of this vanity.
?
You think his substack didn't add any value to the world regarding bitcoin and helped people to form opinions about it?
Regarding:
If you're pissed that your specific topics and opinions are not shared by everyone nobody can help you with that. You don't live in a world revolving around you and no site in the world is going to change that.
Also, nowhere did he say that he is pissed or that he thinks the world revolves around him. He just added his thoughts to the post and why he thinks so. You just jumped to conclusions based on your own view about him. Your whole second paragraph is probably exactly what he complained about. Very reddit-like. No thinking, just jumping to conclusions and personal attacking. You could have left it at the first paragraph.
reply
I don't give a shit if you read or not my SN posts or substack. Those are not for you in the first place.
reply
Well, then stop complaining that not everyone is an exact copy of you 🙈😂
