pull down to refresh

I though bios were free and that was sort of the way for a new user to get started. I know that I started with 0 zats on SN, and knowing basically nothing about lightning, but that was a while ago now.
Maybe it was that you got one free post or comment. Do you remember way back then?
Oh boy I can't remember at all how I got started. I never had a bio so it wasn't through that, and I don't even remember what the posting economics were back then.
I think I joined around the time !lntipbot was getting popular on Reddit and someone said this place does that by default. I wonder if I can somehow pull up my first zapped post or comment

I know everything cost one sat when I joined.

I remember SN was custodial back then. I think SN might actually have been my first lightning wallet, come to think of it. I don't remember how I got seeded with sats in the first place. Pretty sure it wasn't by deposit, though I can't remember anymore.

I had a fountain wallet already, but I'm sure I didn't make a deposit. I think it was that you got one free comment or post and I made more than one sat on mine.

When we launched, everyone got 2 free posts and 5 free comments. Then we switched to “free posts and comments if you run out sats,” then territories started getting spammed and we made it free for comments only if you run out of sats.

I had to think carefully about how to use my free comments so I'd get zapped (it wasn't called zapped back then) so I could self-sustain
Wow, even a Stacker News sicko like me didn't keep track of all those changes.

bios are still free, that's the exception to no more freebie posts

Were there worse freebie offenders than yourself?

I didn’t assmilk by pretending I’m a girl or so excited to learn more about bitcoin
But I appreciate you remember my freebie phase haha

I forgot about that wave of fake girls.

maybe that's what we need, more fake girls (or real girls too)

Hey Girls are into Bitcoin too ;)
I really liked @bitcoinplebdev's idea of using fake girls as a psyop to get plebs to study bitcoin more thoroughly.
I remember I haven't seen a Bio post for a while now!
