Howdy there, partner! Welcome on into the Stacker Saloon.

Saddle on up to a stool and spill the beans about your day, fire away with them questions, or let loose and give us the lowdown on your wild and woolly life. We're all ears, so don't hold back!

We're open round the clock, so mosey on in whenever you please!

I have a dilemma because I usually finish writing a blog post or guide at 1 or 2 PM... But it's 12:38 AM in NYC and 5:38 AM in London right now. SO I feel like I'm getting boned hard by the SN algorithm when my post gets no traction for hours on end. Generally speaking, for help by the algorithm for getting boosted as a top post, what time should I post? @k00b

I'm awake when they sleep. So, don't worry, post good content anytime you want.

It's eventually going to be The World app, yeah for now sometimes especially at night times in US I see no activity at all. But whenever I see a good post, even my 10 sat zap takes it under 'Hot' and when USA wakes up, taht post definitely gets more zaps and more traction. Keep in mind good content is subjective, may not suit to everyone's taste.

Most stackers are from the US so I guess any time when people would look at SN in the US is a good time. But don’t underestimate the impact of other countries filtering the trash while America is sleeping. I suspect good posts do well at any time.

So do I lose those sats? It looks like they didn't go to my coinos, and I don't think they're locally in my wallet, or maybe they are. But they were never received I think. Still trying to understand the mechanisms behind how the current system works. What happens when shit happens and zaps fail?

I don't know why it took so long for the payments but looks like you ended up receiving most zaps as sats:

The USAID story got me thinking.

There are two types of personalities that have become so obvious in recent times.

There are those people that see immorality, deception and corruption and seek to expose it.

Then there are those who are in the habit of turning a blind eye and in the end become unable to see it.

The inevitable conflict between these two groups is very prominent in political discourse.

reply

Indeed!! It is very hard to unsee what you have already seen. It is very different from ”What can be, unburdened by what has been." Perhaps this is the difference in people and politics you are perceiving.

I don’t read books often, but when I do they really stick with me. I’ve been reading the Bitcoin Standard every night as opposed to being here as much. It’s crazy how so much of that history is ringing true with the changes in Washington these past few weeks. It really gives me peace knowing most of my stack is locked up in cold storage and I sleep like a baby at night!

Your life is like a coin. You can spend it however you want. But only once…

"Anything can be an instrument, Chigurh said. Small things. Things you wouldnt even notice. They pass from hand to hand. People dont pay attention. And then one day there is an accounting. And after that nothing is the same…you see the problem. To separate the act from the thing. As if parts of some moment in history might be interchangeable with the parts of some other moment. How could that be? Well, it’s just a coin. Yes. That’s true. Is it?"

Please explain what can't be

reply

There's one zapper but the post stacked both CCs and Sats.

  • I understand that someone's just zapped it twice, but this isn't the first time I've seen it.

okay sounds like you figured it out

reply

No, I haven't because it's something that shouldn't happen frequently.

reply
0 sats \ 3 replies \ @k00b 4 Feb

Tell me what and how it should happen then.

reply

If there's one zapper, shouldn't it be either sats or CCs?

reply
0 sats \ 1 reply \ @k00b 4 Feb

No.

Each zap happened at a different time, and lightning network conditions change constantly.

We've talked about dust limits before. I'm sure if you thought about it you might see why that might be responsible.

The amount of sats being routed matters, because fees on lightning are relative to zap amount in addition to an absolute (aka base) fee. Most nodes set base fees to 1 sat and charge 0.2-0.5% of the amount, and a lightning payment can travel across many such nodes. The maximum outgoing fee we'll pay is 3%. Do the math.

Here's all the reasons why CCs happen (which is available for view anytime you receive them):
