This article is a great example of how to build a strawman: https://www.theverge.com/2022/4/28/23042819/bitcoin-2022-miami-beach-conference-maxis
Factually, the "whale" that Buress pulled on stage at the end of the article wasn't in the whale section. He was sitting in front of me in the normie section.

We need a substack alternative but built on top of lightning.
Just saying...

Yesterday was SN's second day with 1K+ uniques visitors.
Tuesday had the second highest spot for that metric, so this week saw the second and third highest uniques in one day.

SuperTestnet is disappeared for almost a month! Who knows details about him if he's alive or not, post here. Rumors that Tim Darper kidnapped him into an undisclosed location.

Amboss Magma is "spitting" out liquidity! This liquidity marketplace is fucking great and needed for LN!

People need to circulate sats more. I feel like that there are more and more comments/posts that get 0 sats and people spend 0 sats. Instead all the circulation comes from jobs to daily yield.
To incentivize this my suggestion is that the algorithm that determines the web of trust or value that people create takes into account how much people spent.
It's just a rough idea - I haven't thought it through too much. There might also be holes in the idea...
reply
I still don't know the answer to this question ...
Does someone up their "trust" for the WoT from replies?
For example, if someone were to join SN and ONLY reply -- but never post, and never upvote, do their replies get considered for the WoT / Trust as far as the daily drop?
reply
Yes, if people upvote their replies. again this is how it currently works and will definitely be subject to radical change in the future.

I agree with the observation that people aren't tipping as much as they were a month ago. It could just be a case of hodling. Its also possible the airdropping is changing the percieved need to compensate contributors since a 5sat tip is much lower than payout to active authors. To be honest, I've noticed the more effort you put into a post the less likely it will be tipped. The link posters and software authors seem to get most of the gratitude, not that it's bad, just an observation of what people value.
reply
make good content and you get sats. Not every post here deserve sats. Some of them are even repeated or are just links from other platforms.
I saw an new influx of users here coming only to "earn sats". I think the goal of this SN is not "earn sats" but to post good content and reward sats when is good.
Airdrop is stupid, this is used only by shitcoins.
I tip sats, but only to those that really deserve it. Usually I redistribute the sats I get here to others, I never withdraw out of SN. And I am here since the beginning of SN.
reply
100% agree
reply
Agreed all around. Creating quality content will get you significantly more sats than a typical reply/post that's just agreeing with the parent (like this one, lol).
reply
I agree, since the daily airdrop is based on how good of an "SNer," spreading the love should be taken into account for the best incentives. Especially as the site gets more mainstream, there will be more users trying to pull value out of this site's ecosystem.
reply
Its still early days, I only found out about SN a few days ago.
~2200 sats per $ I agree bitcoiners can throw a few more sats around
reply
There's quite a bit of jobs now :) We will need sorting/filtering/searching soon...
reply
Just noticed it shows the employers' bid.
That's really interesting, because sends a signal to the applicants, that this job is real and the employer is motivated to fill the position. This is different than a "static job posting" where they will "hire good people, in general".
