My favourite cafe accepts LN.
That's why I go there.
Because I can pay in sats and they make damn good coffee.
They dont need any shoddy gift card hook to lure me to repeat my custom there.
The reason I came to Stacker News was it was supposed to be a social media V4V sats denominated platform.
It looks like that claim is increasingly questionable.
Since Both @ek and @Scoresby will not confirm it still is, and since they are both concealing their LN wallet status then I am coming to the conclusion that Stacker News is no longer a project prioritising the use of sats in a V4V ethos.
They seem to be saying CC shitcoins are just fine.
Stacker News appears to have chosen to debase itself by abandoning the sats denominated values that attracted me to come here and spend sats.
And I know I am not alone in this view.
BTW I actively avoid any business that gives 'reward cards'- a good business does not need to play such games with customers- a good business just provides what the customer wants and do not need any reward card bullshit. If you do you must have a pretty low opinion of yourself to be so manipulated.
Again I ask @Scoresby and @ek and @denlillaapan -
You do not believe content consumers here who ultimately must fund the entire platform if it is to ever be financially viable have a right to know which content providers have made the effort to attach LN wallets and thereby maximise their use of and support for the LN???
Definition of a shitcoin since you seem to be struggling with it-
Centralised operator.
Unlimited issuance.
Plus in the case of CCs, absolutely no value outside of Stacker News...so yes quite comparable with instore 'reward' cards which I would classify as even more shitty than shitcoins.
'The more extreme the solomonomics, the more fragile the setup becomes and the more the user spends in routing fees.'
Yes because I use LN to the maximum extent possible given the hybrid monetary model here on SNs I do pay more fees into the LN.
That is bad?
I dont think so.
The fees are what supports and builds the LN.
Take the Den model and you are minimising your use of LN and maximising your use of CC shitcoins- you are minimising the LN fees you pay and therey minimising the support you provide to the LN.
However you are wrong in asserting that the system I use is fragile - using Coinos it works virtyally all of the time- and the fact that coinos occasionally goes down is just proof that even using an intermediary LN provider LN is still limitied in its capacity.
But I can say that the more I use coinos the greater the liquidity of coinos grows- this is how systems improve by people using them.
Things do not improve and develop if people do not use them.
Den is minimising his use of LN- I am maximising my use of it- and my experience is that the more I use LN/coinos the stronger and more capable it grows.
