I already told DarthCoin that when SN started, we did distinguish sats and upvotes and it sucked. It looked like this:

5 votes \ 10 sats \ 3 comments

Only the first sat was an upvote and the rest were just appreciation (just like DarthCoin explains his proposal now). Then we realized it's actually very good for ranking if someone can pay more if they find something more valuable and that this distinction is confusing for stackers so we got rid of it.

I don't know how exactly DarthCoin imagines his proposal will look like in the UI, but if it's anything like the separate buttons for likes and zaps on nostr, I suspect it's going to be just as bad.

Btw, DarthCoin should know this, he has been here since #166.

the idea seems good to me and you prevent this type of "sat-hunting" content, raising it to the top for votes and the Sats are like a tip from those who appreciated it even if they don't vote for it to be highlighted.

I know and was a good visual in the beginning. And now are even better to be distinguished upvotes from sats because we have CCs. Who wants to upvote with more ranking points then could use more CCs. Nothing wrong with that.

I want the separation to show clearly the "appreciation" in sats and the ranks from upvoting. That will give a clearer view of what is going on.

Example:

I read a post and I like a lot the PoW the OP did on it. But is not worth upvoting a lot to be pushed on top. But worth more sats from me, because I want to give him those sats.
I read a post and is very important for the community, so I will push more upvotes (CCs) and just few sats...

I hope you get my point now.

Even this post of you, I don't know now how I can do it, sats or upvotes ?

So if something is very important for the community, you rather give them upvotes than sats 🤔

Does this not sound wrong to you?

Btw, we want to allow you to zap (exclusively) sats in profiles outside of ranking (so without the 30% fee). Maybe that's enough for what you want to do.

Why is it wrong? Posting a full guide / tutorial where you can see a clear PoW is not the same as posting a link from somebody else work or just a tweet. The link could be important sometimes.

Sats are for PoW not for sharing.

Mhh, okay. I edited my comment to add this, maybe you missed it:

Would this be enough for you?

you still can leave it as it is now (with the fee and lnproxy), I am ok with SN taking a cut, that's not the problem. Or is not technically possible ?

Will be a SRS, Stackers Revenue Service 😂😂😂😂😂 LOL we should make a meme with that.
