Hello
I'm new here. I just want to verify how to earn in this website.
Do we need to post something? Or can we just comment on existing posts? For us to earn sats?
Anyway, thank you very much for all the replies. Now I'm getting a picture of how this platform works. It's a community where you share and contribute your thoughts about topics that help others to learn or be updated

You are a quick learner :)

Focus on providing value first and the sats will come
reply
Yes, you can do both. You can tip people by clicking on the lightning next to their posts/comments so people will be able to tip you in the same way.
You won't see it on your own posts and comments because you can't tip yourself.

Got it, thanks a lot

Thanks again

First post and is about "how to earn sats"... LOL this is clearly shitcoiner mentality. If you came here focused only with this into your mind... you will fail. Get a job that pays you in bitcoin (see https://stacker.news/~jobs)
Why not ask first: how to learn more about Bitcoin ?
reply
Considering that I personally came from fountain, and trace back all the way to ZBD the whole idea of "earning from posting" isn't too far fetched, if the difficulty of getting into fiat jobs is the same as bitcoin jobs then it's not going to be that easy to do
reply
Well that is how it was advertised when I clicked on the ad, so is it my fault to expect that its all just about sats?
reply
Can you show us the ad? :) I think I heard about a marketing campaign running on fountain.fm but I haven't seen it myself.
reply
Yes SN paid to be on fountain I saw it yesterday…. It was all about “earning” I threw up a bit but whatever
reply

If SN is presented in the wild as "earning sats site"... it is wrong. This is not a assmilking site...
reply
It is Darth. I think the solution if we keep moving this direction is a sub that requires 1,000 sats per comment or post instead of only 1.
I wouldn’t post as much only when I really had something to contribute
reply
You should not post to get sats, you should post to learn/discuss or teach others (especially shitcoiners) how bitcoin works.
reply
I think they will learn over time. They can post only thinking about "earning sats" but these posts will probably not earn them sats.
I see this like how most people get into bitcoin: first only thinking about the price to sell for more fiat. But then slowly getting it over time ...
reply
This. The incentive structure built into SN by and large deters shitposting and "sat farming". You very quickly learn that valuable content and contributions are what will stack sats. It's a win-win. Shit, just look at Darth's stack.
I’m wondering about the same. I’m relatively more knowledgeable about bitcoin than I am about earning a few extra Sats on SN. Valid line of inquiry, no?
reply
From what I have read, you could use your knowledge to earn extra. Just post useful info for people to appreciate
reply
I am also new, I did not join with the objective of earning sats, but because someone told me that it was a community of Bitcoiners, later I received 20 sats, I am happy, but I was still going to publish with or without an economic return.
reply
now you earned.

Incentives. Stacker.news attaches incentives to encourage behavior that is valued by the people that use stacker.news. By using bitcoin as the medium of exchange (something with real value) the site and we the users can encourage and discourage behavior. Quality is rewarded. Spam is discouraged. The longer I am a part of this site the more obvious it is to me that this is the way for web sites to handle many of their problems. Bitcoin fixes yet another problem.
reply
just post quality, comment quality, sats will follow. Welcome aboard SN
reply
So we have to post topics that can encourage discussions
reply
I would rather say "topics that people are interested in". You don't receive sats per reply to a post of yours (at least not yet).
If you post interesting aka good content, you'll probably get tipped.
