Petition to bring back the post / comments displaying on user profiles @k00b.
Feels/looks a bit more user friendly imho, could somehow integrate filtered search too maybe

I agree. I made it kind of raw and powerful but it's a rough ux.
reply
i do enjoy the functionality of it

It appears Munity wallet has lost about 21k of my sats. Opened an issue on the GitHub.
Trying to send the rest of my sats out and every single payment says no route found.
Software is in beta so I knew the risks but be careful out there stackers!

Things starting to shape up well at the new job. I fixed a switch for a cable hoist this morning! Nothing fancy, but at least it has me feeling productive. I'm between the odd jobs they have me on now I'm trying to clean the electrical office, and the golf cart I use, and the bathroom in the electrical office--my God, people can get comfortable with such levels of filth and disorganization!
reply
Well done. Never fails to surprise me (in a bad way) how people can treat their living and working spaces…
reply
The old electrician smoked cigarettes in his air conditioned office, and would leave the butts on the floor. I haven't event for to properly vacuum the place yet
reply
Oh. I thought you meant it was reallllyy bad lol. I’m sure the office has a lovely nicotine yellow glow to it.
My personal dislike is bottles half full of pi55 or spit… now that’s disgusting! I hate my job.

Well that explains that!

I find overselling so fiat. Don't gamble with your credibility.
reply
Sales 101, under promise and over deliver.
reply
That's Sats 101 :)

Feels like there’s some underlying context here…
reply
It’s an accumulation of context. When describing projects in plain language won’t sell them, people begin overstating the benefits or predicting ungrounded far out future benefits.

No, he just didn't boost it enough. If you click on the info icon next to boost it explains how it works.
5000 sats is equivalent to ONE weighted upzap from a maximally trusted stacker ... Boosted items compete with organically ranked items and on average organic items at the top of hot have the equivalent of ~20 such upzaps.
We should maybe increase the boost minimum to make this clearer.
As an example, the @ad running right now is using the exact same boost algorithm (nothing special or privileged ... we're posting it manually everyday with a feature that everyone has access to) but has a 100k boost so it's likely to stay on the front page nearly the entire day.

It's the trust weights. Trust is hard to earn. It takes consistently zapping stuff other stackers like early (which is why we reward it). Most folks just don't zap (quite a few only do it when attempting to game the algo hence the need for trust at all) so they never earn trust.
The only problem with this (and it's a big problem imo) is that trust is opaque right now. I've explained how the algo works and how trust is earned but most people don't get it.
I'm going to be spending the next few weeks of my life giving us all personalized feeds and part of that will be figuring out how to make this understandable and transparent.

@k00b and me discussed creating blog posts about SN internals, for example to explain in more depth how the trust algorithm works (including examples and such). I think this would help with questions like these :)
