Does SN have investors that supply the capital for bounties, hosting, etc?

reply

Hey @k00b did you consider adding stacker.news on geyser.fund ?
Because It will significantly generate a good amout of donation and contributions and make sn more famous around bitcoiner

It's not a bad idea. I'd prefer to do a pleb raise though and give stackers something in return like equity/shares in SN though.

@metamik wen pleb raises?

reply

Equity Pleb raises through Lightning Ventures is probably your best bet right now.

We decided to pass on the equity crowdfunding for now, it's too regulated and permissioned, and doesn't fully need/leverage bitcoin (for now). However, we're keeping a close eye on new exciting equity models like NostrRocket, that could disrupt how equity works from the bottom up.

As per the idea of using Geyser to help raise funds towards specific bounties, Geyser can provide the following value-added:

  • Contributors can fund with onchain and so potentially give substantially higher amounts than is usually held in lightning wallets.
  • Contributors can see their profile attached to the contributions and feel recognized for it (in SN it's all lumped together)
  • Contributions can happen directly form StackerNews
  • You can give away Nostr Badges or other perks/rewards to those who fund more than a certain amount
  • You can leverage donations from the bitcoin community on Geyser
  • Btw, Geyser is free to use if you use your own Node, we only take 2% if you connect a lightning address.
  • In both cases we generate a @geyser.fund ln address, meaning that you can get funded from anywhere and it would show in your Geyser project. We also support Zaps!
  • We have our weekly leaderboards, and can help promote SN even further (not that you guys need much promotion, as you have such a great brand + community)

Just some ideas! We love SN, and would be happy to partner <3

Expect the ads to get way worse, fewer rewards, higher posting fees, data harvesting and paid features. Investors want to see revenues (ideally above expenses) and SN likely wont get there without becoming more and more like Reddit.

Yeah we’ve raised money!

dang did somebody already tackle part of this?

Tags were added but a new post type and the ability to opt-out have not been added yet. Issues like these should have a sat breakdown for each subtask to allow different people to work on them

The were flagged enough times they were "outlawed" by the looks of it. This hides it unless you opt in to "wild west mode."

This was our first pass at group moderation. In the next version we'll probably want to make it clear that there's something there rather than just removing it.

If you'd like to see it by default (and other content like it), turn on "wild west mode" in your settings. I prefer to browse in wild west mode.
