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!
If you go by metrics, SN makes about 25K and if very active even 30K items/month So from June, we have 6 months left roughly, which makes at most 180K items. Assuming the latest item is 1.01M, adding 180K makes a meagre 1.2M (roughly)
Judge your predictions stackers https://beta.predyx.com/market/stacker-news-hit-14m-items-in-2025 :)
Don't underestimate @ek and liquidity_bot's YES position on this market. My personal prediction is that this market will resolve to YES.
And I've put some sats where my mouth is:
I'm not disrespecting anyone, I'm just stating facts :)
FUCK PREDYX
u can't
@Workit_LN can we do a 10k sats walk challenge again? Or at least a 1000 sats I know @Carresan @Undisciplined and @grayruby and more will be keen
Hey, we will publish one soon!
Yes, I still use the app but don't bother to join challenges for 10 sats.
Stacker challenge
Hey stackers, new here.
I'm trying to set up my send wallet. In the wallet section it is saving my Blink API, and it also is giving me the green send arrow in the blink box, but I don't have my gun indicating something is wrong. I do show this error in the logs:
POST https://api.blink.sv/graphql: 401
CCs are just fine for SN
What is the difference between a CC and a heart or a thumb?
CCs are simply credits to be used inside SN (pay to post), bought with sats. That's all.
sorry, this is confusing, but you need to also enable device sync in your settings for the gun
@ek ok i've done it! Thank you. I'm still a bit confused with the cowboy credits. Can I choose which to zap you with? CC or sats?
btw, looks like receiving at least works
I zapped you 100 sats, you should have received 70.
When you zap and you have a wallet, we will always try sats first. If your wallet doesn't work, then we will try CCs.
If you don't want to zap sats, disable your wallet.
Reading the FAQ about the wallets might also help if you haven't already.
I've tried to zap you twice now but it gives the sats to your post then they quickly go away. I must be doing something wrong.
Do you still get this error in your wallet logs?
If so, I think your API key is wrong.
Did you select the READ and WRITE scope when generating the one for sending?
Sending and receiving must be two different API keys.
I think i'm all set now thanks a lot @ek
Sweet thanks I will work on this later today. I will wait to zap you so I can hopefully send you some sats instead of cowboy credits. Are the cowboy credits we get and send stuck on SN forever? we can't withdraw them or pay LN invoices with them?
Welcome
For problems like this, you want to get @ek's attention.
Thank you!
Hey stackers, new here.
I have my horse, which is awesome. I have a blink wallet attached to send, which is indicated by the green arrow in the wallet section and the saved API, however I don't have my gun. Is there something I'm doing wrong?
horse, gun and hat are meaningless gaming items. Concentrate in content not in useless perks.
Whoever zapped one of my posts (much appreciated) must have abysmal trust, because it was on the 4th page of top posts for the week despite these performance metrics:
I did, haha!
I suspect it also got downzapped pretty heavily. Some people have a deranged hatred of micro betting.
I think ~stacker_sports posts are default to be lower in the
top posts. You can see this happening to most of the posts in the territory. Contrary to SS Posts published in territories like ~Ask_SN end up much above even with less zaps or engagement. I feel the ranking of posts, at least under the top posts, should be ranked impartially.Yeah, I don't have a full handle on it. I'm confident there's nothing in the code that systematically suppressed ~Stacker_Sports, but something about who zaps (and perhaps who downzaps) is hurting us.
As @k00b often says, our best path forward is just to make a better product, whatever the explanation, so that's our focus.
I believe it.
However you can see that you (only you) zap the same amount to a post in ~Stacker_sports and zap a post in ~Ask_SN or even in ~econ, you'll see anomalies in the rankings. Maybe you are right about downzapping. And it may be that someone always readily downzaps posts from SS.
I've never experimented much with that. It does defy my understanding of the system.
Maybe mutes have something to do with it. I know ~Stacker_Sports is a heavily muted territory.
I just think that things should be more transparent for everyone's understanding. Things like how a 10 sat zap (by 1 stacker) post be above a post zapped in hundreds (by more than 1 stacker).
If nothing else the trust based (discreet) system applied here on SN creates a lot of confusion.
If it has to do anything with downzaps, they can be available like other details. If it has something else like 'whatever trust score it generated', it may be provided in the details) (I don't know if this is easier said than done)
not really, the weekly random pick em always ends up in the top filter for a day
That disrupts the competition right? So many people are waiting to be featured on the top filter, you would definitely need bias to cut out the posts which lose edge
Yeah, that's an exception! That maybe because it's a bounty post. Whatever there but it's not good overall.
Yup, btw see this #1011392
I think you should buy more
What business is it of anybody else what you do with your sats? I think they should make downzapping a lot more expensive than it is. Make the hate pay!!
I actually don't think we have as much downzapping as we should.
#619793 #621288
I saw the idea of stacker sheriffs, not so sure that is a good idea. Centralizing power always seem to go awry, just look at that mess on Wikipedia.
It wouldn't necessarily come with any extra power. It was more of a nudge to keep the downzap option on people's minds.
Ahhh………….yes!! The infamous nudge. The one that the state loves to employ on every person in their jurisdiction. People can just as well ignore those that they do not want to reply to or even read. There is also blocking, isn’t there?
Anyone use Operator with ChatGPT pro? Wondering if I can get Operator (or Gemini Project Mariner) it to do my annual hospital compliance/training modules... would be worth a one month $200 subscription...
lol
I tried it when it was first released. I wanted it to find two flights that I could connect to get back from a wedding. It kept returning things that didn't meet the requirements - probably because the solution wasn't very linear.

I just found out that today is the international World Refugee Day. It's a new international day that was first introduced in 2001.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Refugee_Day
Is this for real refugees or the economic ones? And, here I thought refugee status was always and forever temporary not a replacement.
I would be harsh and say that all refugees have a bit of economic background. Maybe I am wrong.
Don’t think so!

Both
Anger. Apathy. Fear. They must all be overcome in order to reach acceptance. Acceptance is also sympathy, which is also harmony. Jiddu Krishnamurti said “harmony is stillness.” Which is true, but it’s also untrue, because while it is stillness, it’s relative stillness. Relative to everything else around you, you’re still. But that’s only because you’re in tune with everything and as a collective whole, you’re resonating, vibrating. For there to be harmony there has to be a movement, a frequency.
Fight 💪against the Fiat system, fight with Bitcoin 🔱⚡
He's having too much fun with this!
Let's see this kind of energy for this week's Word-of-Mouth Wednesday ai video contest!

There is only one way, the "value per value" 🛣️⚡⚡
Well, value per value is not economics! I get more value for what I give you and you get more value for what you give me is the economic way. No deals are ever done for equal values because there is no reason to trade.
My intention with this phrase is directed in a very different sense from the one you explain or you managed to see.
When I say that "the road is value by value"
I mean that according to my criteria the correct way of doing things is low is philosophy. creating value (in the multiple options that exist) and receiving value (Bitcoin, the only really important value for us human beings)
I am not quite understanding what you are saying. Could you try to show me in a different manner?
I've been going to all the Bitcoin meetups in my area after getting inspired again and my experience last night was a little intersting going to a new meeting. There were 2 speakers and while both said BTC was probably the safest bet they were shilling alt coins saying that if you wanted to get some crazy gains you gotta take risk. They had bought FART as well as TRUMP coin and were pushing something called hbar. At one point someone said that McDonalds was gonna start hashing because hash power is all that is gonna matter to stock investors and we will hit 1 million in less than 2 years. I think there was like 15 people there and only time the speaker got some push back was when he said AI coins are the real future. I guess just watch out where your getting your information from. I was live reacting in our friend signal chat it was pretty painful at times
What even is a lightning hardware wallet? Looking into it the device runs an SPV node for on chain, but the lightning is using Rootstock somehow.
It's made by wesatoshis who's website has one of the longest FAQs I've ever seen.
I realize I don't know much about Rootstock.

My node went down again. Ugh was able to recover it

If you were going to post something about the nature of an LLM's "thought," in which territory would you post?
I was about to revive ~ai but it says:
Invalid `prisma.userSubTrust.createMany()` invocation: Unique constraint failed on the fields: (`userId`,`subName`)when I pay the fee.
I meant to deploy ek's patch today but forgot. I'll get 'er done tomorrow.
No worries!
Okay, broke my word. Tomorrow I’ll have more time to monitor a deployment.
I'll just continue to reload sometimes to see if the commit pin in the footer changes <3
~lol I'll comment here when it's done
Minor follow-up issue: my
/notificationsnow forwards to/404.It worked. Thanks k00b!
Ohh, sorry for that, will look into it!
@optimism, did you just pay me 25k sats for doing my job? lol and thanks, but wasn't necessary!
