the intention behind the sybil fee is to hurt, especially for big zaps since we don’t know if you’re zapping yourself.
this also means that two stackers that have equal trust have less impact together than individually. If one of them zaps 10k is more signal in this system than if both zap 5k. I think that’s the opposite of what we want unfortunately and sounds like a game breaker to this idea.

Good summary! I wasn’t trying to bring that whole discussion back, I just wanted to show that Google put a result for SN in second place. Kinda makes you wonder why Google did that?

It's the fourth result for me when googling "Sybil fee" -- but still really cool.

For me it's 12th result -- on page 2.
First result was obituary for one Sybil Lorraine Fee. Others were more general information about sybil attacks, sybil resistance, and then a company called sybil-something.
Interestingly, SN is the first result that uses sybil fee in the context of fees for the purpose of building sybil resistance.
Did SN coin the term sybil fee?

This lady's name is too good. I'm definitely going to look into this.

that's cool we rank high for sybil fee. it's not a special word or anything. it's just a literal description. i guess it's just not something that's very common yet.
