There's lots of talk about how value being associated with things is a source of signal. Most memorably for me in Max Webster's How to Disrupt Google. Also, stackers have repeatedly voiced expectations that sats affect ranking. So, we're giving it a shot.
Sats now affect ranking. The more you tip a post, the more you can affect ranking.
trust*log10(total tip amount)
... 10 sats are 1 vote, 100 sats 2, 1000 sats 3, and so on ... all values in between are valid as wellI've applied this to the site retroactively, and you can see the affect on top already which was formerly dominated by meta stuff. As with all things on SN, this is subject to change, but this is how it works for now.
Are sats good for anything other than saving? We'll see I guess. 😉
We have some small changes we'll make to the job board. Then we are going to work on splits, both making them more configurable (to something other than 100%) and allowing for group discussions. Group discussions will allow posts to be started with multiple OPs, all splitting tips and getting reply notifications, allowing for things like debates and group AMAs. After that I'll probably revisit auth to add support for slashtags and Breez (finally). After that, who knows.
Happy holidays! 🦃
Seems like a great tweak to me, excited to see how it promotes better and healthier discussion!
Very bullish on Stacker News in 2023, every cycle the "public forum" for Bitcoiners seems to change:
Happy holidays! 🦃
Does the total sats you ever stacked affect your influence in ranking then?
No it’s more complicated.
Nice!
@k00b, when do you sleep?
When the party airbnb next door is vacant.
@k00b - is an user's current Trust value visible somewhere or is part of the secret sauce?
It's currently just in the database. We'll probably make it visible eventually. It's kind of kludgy metric that changes a lot in how it's measured.
Stacker News changelog has been updated

Great work @k00b let’s see how it goes
Shouldn't ranking also be affected by the number of sats which have been stacked by each tipper (or by each tipper average earn by post) ? One sat tipped by a SN member with a higher "average sats earned by post" could affect ranking more than a sat from a SN member which has less engagement by post ?
Not sure if I'm beeing clear sorry :)
Oh I seen something called "trust already exist" maybe it's already what I asking for here
Thanks for sharing
отличный ход. используй биткоин как инструкция.
