There will be a zap award for the top 5 posts weekly. It will be broken down as follows:
- 1000 sats
- 250 sats
- 250 sats
- 250 sats
- 250 sats
Posts will be judged using SN zaprank. The cut off time is approximately 7:00am EST (1300GMT) Friday morning. I will post the top 5 winners shortly around 7:30am every Friday morning.
I reserve the right to not award any sats for the week. I also reserve the right to deny sat awards to bare link posts. I recognize that link posts can be valuable, so I will only only exercise discretion for low quality links that garner few sats or engagement from stackers.
Here are this week’s top posts:
- The Rise & Fall of Stacker News - P2P V4V sats denominated social media platform by @Solomonsatoshi
- FATF commissions reports about the AML risks of "unhosted wallets" by @Scoresby
- Supreme Court Strikes Down Trump Tariffs by @siggy47
- Home - Tyranny Tracker by @jasonb
- Freedom will always be "illegal" by @DarthCoin

The SN zaprank is broken now. 1 upzap = 1 downzap
I know. This post gave me pause. It did generate so much discussion that I decided not to get in the way of my normal practice. I may have to rethink my rewards method. Maybe check each post for downzaps. I don't want to completely disincentivise controversial posts, so it's a tough call.
Instead of removing downzaps from the calculation you should remove boosts. That post's "investment" came almost entirely from boosts.
But to be honest, that's too much work unless SN implements a sort ranking that excludes boosts.
Yeah. If I continue the awards, I'm going to have to evaluate each post AFTER checking the zaprank.
What? I think there's some confusion here!
No confusion. If you set this in your SN settings, you will see posts by how many sats were "invested" in total. up or down doesn't matter.
What you consider a downzap, for others could be an upzap....
wrong! invested = cost + boost + stacked
And if I’m not mistaken, when it comes to TOP post/comment stuff, the downzaps get subtracted from the upzaps.
As I said... what you consider downzap for me maybe is upzap.
And from now on, I will change my SN standard: 1 sat downzap if I like a post.
There’s no debate about it. Downzaps subtract, upzaps add. It’s just math.
Appreciate the effort to reward quality posts—makes the SN community feel more alive.
