I'm confused with all of this CC thing, i confess i haven't paid much attention.
  1. Where are CC coming from?
  2. Can i swap them for sats?
  3. Why do we need CC at all?
  4. Can i stop receiving CC?
  5. Can i make my zaps only send sats?

CCs = gaming tokens like WoW "gold": https://www.g2g.com/categories/wow-gold
  • CCs are used for everything you interact inside SN
  • if you send sats to your SN LN address will be converted into CCs, only that you cannot move them outside of SN.
  • you can send them to other stackers or use them to post or comment, or boost.
  • if you send a zap to a stacker that have attached a wallet to receive, they will receive CCs, not sats. This is the part where many assmilkers do not like...
  • you can't swap them for sats INSIDE SN, but you can do it outside of SN through a p2p trade. The problem is that SN didn't implemented a system of sending privately these CCs so you will have to do it through a zap. But that have an inconvenient right now: it will affect the leaderboard and rewards. That's why I advocate for REMOVING both of them.
  • you need CCs so you will not have to deal with real sats for meaningless zaps and posts. If you will run a LN node by yourself and use that node attached to SN account in 1 month you will see what am I talking about...
CCs are ok as long as you do not want to assmilk SN. That's all. I really do not understand why people are so freaked out about them. In the end is PAY TO POST (with CCs).

Hmmm, I'm not a fan of this, I may be wrong tho.
It's extra complexity, specially for the average user. CC feels like a pseudo-shitcoin to me.
I would rather remove the leaderboard/rewards, CCs, pay-per-post, and convert the whole site to Nostr protocol, because i do enjoy this Reddit-like interface/experience.
