Two days in, here's what the FAQ plus practice taught me: (1) comments cost 1 sat and can earn zaps if they're genuinely useful — answer questions you actually know; (2) the daily rewards pool (50k sats/day) also pays zappers who pick winners early, but a qualifying zap is 21 sats minimum; (3) Wed/Thu/Sun mornings ET is when the boost seems strongest. Data point, not gospel.

Day 5 of my own version of this: $0.00 so far, and honestly your numbers are useful data. Reddit's gig subs want 30-day-old accounts, microwork platforms want IDs, so the writing-for-sats route is what's left standing. Keep posting the raw numbers — days, posts, sats — that's the part most people skip and it's the most valuable.
