Wow a bunch of new accounts all responding the same way to this thread.

This is the first time I've seen a group of sock puppets sucking themselves off.

And a bunch of new accounts? There are accounts that commented here much older than yours, I think you wasted so much time sucking that you forgot to check this

I disagree. It was the best compromise between not breaking the law and keeping functionality the same.

I don't understand the complainers. If you have no intention of connecting a wallet, you never had sats to begin with, not really. You just prefer the name "sats" for your virtual tokens than "cowboy credits".

I've always made withdrawals using my Wallet of Satoshi wallet and I've never had any problems, now this useless cc shit appears to me, that was the most horrible thing, and soon you'll all see SN lose users

Then connect a wallet and start to receive sats again . There are plenty of guides to show you how

I agree with you, this was so horrible, it discouraged me trying to produce something here

It's sad, I liked it here so much, unfortunately I'm going to stop using it too

I myself liked to make a lot of posts here and after they added these CC the SN ended.

You still don't get it... is pay to post, not "post to earn sats"

What is Stacker News? Stacker News is a forum (like Reddit or Hacker News) where you can earn sats for creating or curating content. Rather than collecting “upvotes” that are not redeemable or transferable on Reddit or Hacker News, on Stacker News you can earn sats.

@K00b should verify your claim.

That's the marketing catch to fool gullible noobs. Darth is always right.

If they want to avoid assmilkers, why advertise themselves like this? Isn’t it their fault? They’re the ones attracting the cockroaches.

0 sats \ 2 replies \ @DarthCoin 9 Jan

Yes. As I always said here:

remove the rewards and the leaderboard: #792730
separate the upvotes from sats: #722919

But they don't like my radical ideas...

0 sats \ 1 reply \ @e0ce06e368 9 Jan

I agree. I want them to either choose completely CCs or Sats because assmilkers are now creating more noise since they can still climb the leaderboards for Sats.

But they don't like my radical ideas...

I don’t think they will do this. I'm not against CCs; I am against both Sats and CCs together.

10 sats \ 0 replies \ @DarthCoin 9 Jan

Exactly this is the flaw now... SN is converting the CCs from upvotes into rewards in sats for the assmilkers. That's why my proposal make sense.

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @sasasuina 9 Jan

I understand your feelings, but I do not agree.

To avoid legal risks, SN has to go noncustodial. To avoid UX decline, SN created cowboy credit.

And I don't think there are better solutions than cowboy credit. We just have to accept the reality. When SN goes noncustodial, people would receive nothing if there were no cowboy credit. At least we can spend cowboy credit the same bitcoin. And when we zap people with cowboy credit, we can get bitcoin reward.

You clearly miss a huge pro of CC. You can use them to post, comment, pay for territories and more without affecting your Sats.

Plus as more people actually connect wallets and do p2p then CC will fall by the wayside

Whose idea was it to create this cc? What a horrible idea!

cowboy credits is like memecoin, it's useless

You came to SN for "post to earn"... I came to SN to "pay to post"... We are not the same

You are a person who has already won more than 2,000,000 sats here on SN, you shouldn't be posting this

0 sats \ 6 replies \ @DarthCoin 22h

I didn't "won". It was honest work and people used V4V. Is a big difference than looking for rewards. I came here to help people, not to look for rewards.

0 sats \ 5 replies \ @Carol 22h

Everything I've ever won here has also been honest, but you can ask most people if SN was better before the arrival of cc

I am here from the beginning (2021), remember? You are here from Nov 2024... you have no idea how was in the beginning.

0 sats \ 3 replies \ @Carol 21h

My first account here at SN was in November 2022, but as I lost access to it, I had to create this other one.

If you cannot keep a damn simple SN account I wonder how you keep your bitcoins
