Hello, I’m new here!
I’m planning on investing a portion of my money into Bitcoin. I’d like this to be a long term investment and want to do it “the right way” first. I’ve asked this in a Bitcoin chat and this is my current refined list:
Anything I’m doing terribly wrong? Thanks for any help!
That's a pretty great list! Looks good to me. You're doing a lot of these things "the right way." Let us know how it goes!
Wow, thanks for replying k00b!
I will indeed!

@jp @dadbeef @zuspotirko
You've all recently requested simplifications to notifications. What do you want?
@zuspotirko you specifically only wanted direct replies. This is what you want all the time or is there specific occasions where you want this?
Thanks for remembering!
I'd like as many settings to manage replies as possible. I want to enable/disable the notifications for replies to replies. But if that's too niche of a usecase that nobody except me wants I won't be mad if it does not happen 😂

Like how Twitter has it. Or Android.
Would you like to be notified for:
So in Settings, under a Notifications section, a slider to choose for each:
If that is too granular, the [When * receives a reply] could be a single setting, and [When * of mine has been upvoted / tipped] could also be a single setting. I suppose for wallet, [a payment to my wallet has occurred] and that cover all three as well. I don't mine granular, myself. 99% of people I bet would leave the default values (enabled). But those annoyed have granular control.

Also getting to notifications should be a single click - currently I have to do two clicks and especially on phone those are in awkward locations.
There's Issue #87 in the SN Github repo with this request.
What do you think about this suggestion, ... which was to make the little red square for notification be a link?
#9404
The main issue I have with this is it's only usable on desktop. The little square is tiny. We should probably just break out notifications into their own icon.

Yeah, I think something like that would work.
Also option to consider is to show the number of sats received in a small box, like the number of emails here
https://cdn.osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/unread-mail-number-iphone.jpg
The box could have yellow background. (I'm not sure if that's the right way, just an option to consider)
Changing the look of the notification depending on the sats stacked is interesting. It seems like people want to be able to distinguish, at a glance, sat stacking notifications from replies.

My $0.02
Add an 'inbox' specific to replies on a thread post or response
Keep the sat-stacking notification.
Separating these two will let me know if/when someone replies to my post so that I can immediately engage with them. Otherwise I just assume any notification (based on the current layout) is a sat-stack notification
Curious: how do you feel about twitter likes and retweet notifications?
Good question.
I enjoy when someone replies to my commentary or shares it with their friends/followers (i.e retweet). "Likes" are a small endorphine kick, but not as strong as a reply/retweet.
I dislike it when Twitter's notification system notifies me of a trending article; the content is generally irrelevant to me and is a major let-down (since I am expecting the notification to be someone replying/retweeting to my message).
RE likes: you don't get the same dopamine hit on SN or it's less distracting on Twitter?
9 times out of 10, Twitters notification is due to someone replying/retweeting my post (which is good)
9 times out of 10, Stacker News notification is about a daily stacked sat (which isnt bad, but not as good as a SN comment/reply).
When I see SN notifications, I automatically dismiss them as part of a daily-stack and am less enthusiastic about checking my notifications. Whereas with Twitter, the notification is more rare & surprising (which leads to an unexpected but welcomed endorphine kick)
This is very helpful thank you jp!
If 9 times of 10, it's the daily stacking, that would mean you have 1 reply every 10 days. I can see how that'd be annoying. I'll try to figure out some solution to this.
Sounds good - no need to completely change the platform just from my opinion but it's worth exploring to see how this subtle change may alter the community's behavior

For me, maybe add the notification badge only when there are replies, and split notifications page into a big column with replies and a small column with recent votes. I realize though I'm being pretty picky and unconstructive, I think it's a result of high/infrequent engagement on HN with no notifications, low/frequent engagement on twitter with lots of notifications. Both are fine, but SN is giving me high/infrequent with chatty notifications. IOW if I post here, I'll be refreshing the page to check it, while twitter is far more passive.
You're telling me how you feel which I'm thankful for. I'll try to decode this.
What does the high and low axis signify?
Can you rephrase?
You gave
What does high mean in high/infrequent? And low mean in low/frequent?
Gotcha, high/low engagement, frequent/infrequent engagement. So I tweet every day, but comment/post to HN maybe once per month.

whats everyone's favourite food?
Pizza.

Tuna! Esp seared tuna steak or just tuna nigiri :)
I should broaden my sushi tastes but everything has paled in comparison to some good tuna…
I love a juicy, medium to medium-well burger
There’s quite a nice burger chain in Pittsburgh called Burgatory. They let you design your own burger and even have bision, elk or impossible. I love going while visiting friends.
nice, whats your go to burger joint?
Its a franchise in my state called Boomarang Diner. Love their food!

I can't speak to everyone's but mine is probably ribeye. If we aren't considering nutritive value, it'd probably be pizza.
I understand I’m lacking fat (flavor!) but I just love a good filet mignon. Recently had a “Spinalis” cut which was excellent!
Neapolitan pizza for me, specifically. Bit more sauce and a bit less cheese. Sauce is less sweet than your typical New York style pizza, as well. Much more savory. Damn, now I want some.
deleted by author
nice cant beat a good ribeye :) Mine would have to be a decent full english breakfast with all the good stuff bacon, black pudding, hash browns etc .. unhealthy of course but tasty indeed. 🤤
What's black pudding?
It is made from pork or beef blood, with pork fat or beef suet sounds and looks disgusting but brits find it delicious its a regular on a full english in the UK
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_pudding
Sounds amazing, actually.
