Fold card is working with Paypal again 🤝
Easy extra 1+% off of credit card spend (not with all cards), mortage etc. Unfortunately they neutered the reward system so can't get the 2% extra I was used to...

For anyone going through shit in their lives, check out "Building Your Resilience - Finding Meaning in Adversity" from the Great Courses catalogue. It's probably free at your library. It's pretty good for a reasonable self-help book and each short section has a few other resources/books to check out.

Made 50k sats giving a former business partner some tax advice. Feeling pretty damn good about myself. That's enough work for today.

Going through the @sn Markdown guide
The other day I wanted to share a screenshot image of my newly found Cowboy Hat 🤠 in a post, after taking the screenshot and was about to add the image to the post, I discovered there is a whole page dedicated to formatting our posts on SN.
So, today I'm dedicating some time to learning and practicing some of the Markdown guides.
I think I'm gonna be using the bold and images frequently.
Thank you.

I only discovered that somewhat recently, as well. I mostly use it for links and links to images.
It's very cool.

Has anyone else noticed an increase in the number of posts and quality of content over the past few weeks? SN has always been a place with high signal, but it has been chock full of great content and more users recently. This improvement does seem to correspond to the increase in bitcoin's price. I thought the coming bull market would cause an increase in newbie posts and spammy content, but instead the overall quality of the site seems to have improved.

The power of sats indeed! I can't speak for others, but the possibility of receiving sats is definitely the incentive for me to reply and post here. Being able to spend sats to boost posts / replies I find valuable is also great! Loving the value for value model.

I suspect it's just a natural consequence of SN's growing network effect. More people => more posts/comments => more tips => bigger stacks => bigger tips => more people => ...
So really we're just growing, and with that the content is becoming higher signal due to the increased effect of V4V.

That's very true also. This seems counterintuitive, since sats are more valuable in USD terms than they were two months ago.

wen coloured hats
the coloring scheme may be just the same like currently used for the lightning bolt icon by every article
and it should show average value of tip during the period of having hat

Wen your PR? ;)
Jk, I know some people might not be devs themselves. But you can open a ticket on Github, I guess.
What do you mean by that? Tips you received or tips you did? Average per day? And how should it show it?

tips you did, of course - the hat is because of what you have done to the community
just average, it can be for last 24h for example, or for full period of having hat - feel free to propose best way in your opinion
it should show different colours for different ranges of average tip used by the user having hat
(just like SN interface is already able to colour lightning bolt by the article you have donated, i.e. the colour is changing according to the number of satoshis you have donated to the article)
it will incentive generosity on Stacker News for sure :)
