...to enjoy more stacker news' background bolts?

You'll never earn your cowboy hat with such a low base. Step it up to 10 and you will be ready for the OK Corral.

I've had a cowboy hat a few times, but didn't really understand how I earned it! How many zaps do you need to give to earn one? Is it the same every day?

reply

I believe you have to tip 100 sats per day to keep the hat.

Am I the only one who makes ZAP sounds every time they hit the tip button?

Not anymore

haha, you’re not anymore

I have mine set to 21 but that's such a small amount of corn that I usually click more than once.

I like that even 1 sat is all it takes to prevent the majority of spam.

reply

Ah, I remember when I used to have 1 sat default tip amount. Now I spam the lightning bolt with a 15 sat tip each tap. That was the day I decided I wanted to be spending more sats that I got off of this site. I'm having trouble meeting that goal by the way. Maybe I should bump it up to 25

reply

25 sats still just half of a penny... seems cheap

reply

69 sats is my default.

21.1

Didn't expect so many answers :D
You are right, 1 sat is very low but... I think it will take some time to detox me from background bolts addiction... ZA-ZAP... ZAP ZAP ZAP... ZAP... ZA-ZA-ZA-ZA-ZA-ZAPPP!!!

changed mine to 17… no reason why

reply

Nope. They're not as bullish as us lol.

reply

I had 1 for a while, recently changed to 21 now that I have a good bit of sats accumulated

reply

10 feels like an optimal amount for me.

reply

The upvotes are now using factors of ten.

1 to 9, = 1 upvotes,
10 to 99 = 2 upvotes,
100 to 999 = 3 upvotes,
1,000 to 9,999 = 4 upvotes

So tipping to effect a rise in a post's rank is (without "wasting" sats) optimally 1, 10, 100, 1,000, etc.

reply

10 default, then I use multiple zaps as and when.

reply

no

reply

I do 5, but I do like them background bolts

reply

Your definitely not the only one, but that is pretty cheap. I'd be interested in how people think about the optimal tip amount.

reply

Yes ⚡

reply

Set at 1 but I tap a couple of times. Lately I would zap the difference to make the zap count rounded to the nearest 100

reply

Me too. But I usually choose the amount so that the total tipped amount is a round number.

Used default for a few weeks at the beginning, then switched to 20.
