What, is the ratio of CC (inhouse tokens) vs sats (real money) in circulation in the SNs economy these days?

Is there any way of keeping track of the SNs sats vs CCs ratio?

Or maybe it's a secret we are not allowed to know?

4:5 CCs to sats for zaps over the last month.

reply

What about for those with attached receiving wallets?

reply
68 sats \ 7 replies \ @k00b 6h

3:5 CCs to sats

reply

So all these figures are for the zaps received by stackers?

Can you provide figures for zaps sent by stackers?

Presumably they would be zero % sats (and 100% CCs) sent by anyone without a sending wallet?

reply

What about for those with attached receiving and sending wallets?

Already over 40% debasement of the SNs monetary system.
Great Bitcoiner Solidarity Yeah Right!
CCs printer goes Brrrrr

Driven by those who never send sats because they do not attach sending wallet.
They only attach a receiving wallet so they can extract real money but never spend it on SNs.
They do not want to show their SNs wallet history.

Concealing LN wallet status just hastens the CCs debasement of SNs economy

Thanks to all the 'Bitcoiners', talking Big about 'living on The Bitcoin Standard' who cant be fucked actually using Bitcoin but prefer CCs because CCs 'always work'.

Not sure there's an easy way to do it, but on any post you can see the distribution of sats vs. CC's. And for most posts, sats outweigh CCs by a lot.

reply

The ratio of 4:5 CC to sats given by @koob above shows they are already roughly equal.

And since only stackers with attached sending wallets can send sats how long before the ratio is over taken by CCs?

Now that stackers wallet status is by default concealed it seems any effort there once was to encourage use of sats has been surrendered.

Don't ask @Lux to show its SNs wallet history graph.

It will not show.

It is too ashamed of its arsemilking record.

I deal in verified facts.

@Lux deals in misrepresenting them.

We are different.

reply

Which is funny because allegedly that's the one thing that GPT is still king at

reply

Oh, it's more just coz I use claude by default right now. GPT would probably be fine.

The proofs I'm doing are not frontier stuff. It's more like, I have this model of economic behavior, prove this hypothesized result for me.

TFW you just need to go grab some booze because now Bitcoiners are once again doing the SDE thing of comparative analysis.

I say fuck that shit. Stop comparing. Operate from your own strengths, not someone else's weakness. Needing someone else to appear weak means you're weak. Don't be weak. Be strong, mfs, be strong.

reply

VPS.

reply

Why, and which VPS provider do you recommend?

reply
149 sats \ 9 replies \ @optimism 19h

Why: Because unless you know what you're doing in terms of network security, at least you're not exposing your entire home network.

Which provider: A shitty cheap one, like OVH.

reply
OVH

Been moving more and more stuff there, it might be the most reliable shitty cheap one so far.

I've just moved my test k8s from linode into a test docker swarm on hetzner because I anyway don't test the yml, I test the images. lots cheaper for stuff that does nothing all day. I don't really care if it goes down either, so whatevs. Did get an email from them that I'm going to pay like $1/vps/month more, which is an outrage of 25% increase, but it's still 5x as cheap as linode lol

reply

You seem like an ideal candidate for a used 1U server running Proxmox and a $50/mo colo

reply
141 sats \ 0 replies \ @optimism 18h

I wish. I have 4 colo'd boxes remaining atm but they're a money sink and they're starting to fail more and more. I'm aiming to scale down to 2 production boxes, leased, and a bunch of ultra-cheap VPS that are purely defined by an hcl script, and that's it.

Maybe I should even get rid of the 2 production boxes this year. All I really need is a build street for CI/CD and small shit for myself. Perhaps a single prod box where I don't care if it goes down. Nothing at stake.

what makes it shitty tho?

i was looking at hetzner, seems kind of expensive if you want 16gb ram. Damn, memory expensive these days.

reply

what do you want 16gb ram for?

reply

k00b said i shoudl have 16gb to run openclaw

Makes sense. Home security was my biggest concern.

Hey @sox, here's an interesting case study. This is probably way too esoteric an example for you to spend time with, but I'll share in case you're interested. My post today was mostly cut and pasted from an old .docx file I have from ten years ago that I was viewing in Pages (the apple word doc thing). I then formatted it for sn markdown and there are these weird boxes with Xs in them when viewed on mobile. They don't show up on desktop. One is at the beginning of a paragraph and one is at the beginning of a heading. Just figured I'd share. Not sure if it's actually worth the time to explore.

At this stage doesn't make any sense to make interesting posts on SN.
SN still rewards assmilking.
Everybody wants to assmilk everybody...
Everybody is zaping only to get some rewards...

Downzaps have the same effect as upzaps...
Everybody is a shitcoiner...

SN shitposting will continue until SN rewards will be removed...

reply

SN rewards are like credit card cashback, but with a twist: not every purchase (ZAP) gets you cashback. Only the good ones! haha

reply

Wrong. A cashback is going 100% back to you. SN rewards are not. Mostly goes exactly to those you do NOT want to zap because those have many sockpuppets gaming the system or are acting like mafia, in a gang.

reply

Cashback is just a percentage (not 100%) of your purchase that gets paid out from the payer’s pool.

reply

No. Cashback is a % of how much you spend and that % is going back to you, not to others.

reply

If I want to zap your comment with 100 sats, 30 sats will go to SN rewards pool. That means will directly reward SS, right?
Sorry but I do not agree with that theft. I prefer to not zap you but I know that my sats will not go to him and other scumbags here.

If the 30% stays in SN pockets, I totally agree.

reply

SS probably doesn’t get many rewards because it only downzaps as far as I know

I would like to see how SN is sending 0.3sats to SS as rewards

reply

If he’s got a wallet that supports millisats, then yeah, it’s doable.

i guess it's an aggregate compute

so the 30% theft cannot be feasibly redistributed to scumbags, but you still get my appreciation :)

See, these SN rewards are like taxes funding wars, but with money from people that are anti-war and they are still forced to pay taxes....
