This is a thread for random discussions that gets posted everyday at 5am central.
Tell us what you're doing today, ask questions, or vent about your life. Whatever you want, let it rip!
Just realized my two favorite movies/stories are identical in all but relatively superficial ways:
The moral of each is basically: be honest, good, and determined -> reward
The story of each is basically: someone honest, good, and determined is rewarding you their work for being similar
It's the story of finding your soulmentor or something.
I guess that means we need a parallel plot to Stacker News.
Will https://outer.space also achieve product-market fit in its 1st year? Tune in next month & keep poking @k00b to find out..
Lol
IDEA: Run an evil twin of Stacker News called "Slacker News"... it will only show content that is wasting time. It will encourage people to stop working and pushing, and just slack. It will discourage use of bitcoin.

Looking for a FOSS fdroid or obtanium supported wallet to store Ticketmaster tix on my graphene OS. Any recommendations?
I don’t have a helpful answer… knowing Ticketmaster, good luck…
the daily discussion thread is absolutely on fire today, already more comments than the most commented post in site history.

probably 25-50% is only related to the bug since we discovered it, lol
it's been hours me trying to figure out what triggers it, i may need a drink too now lol
and i think i gave away 30k sats to zap all these comments today, lol

"free" as in "1 sat per post"? lol
deleted by author
ahh, i see
yeah, that's pretty cool
i wanted to make a post asking what people like the most about SN
but I thought people will just respond "stacking sats"
The barista put enough expresso shots in my ice coffee that I'm effectively lobotomized.
It is quite interesting: today is so crowded, yet yesterday was so quiet.
I wonder what is the difference besides @nemo is back 🧐
i guess you mean "yesterday was so quiet" at the beginning
it also had 100+ comments, just not before @birdeye wakes up, lol

@k00b Can we get more than 30 characters for the poll options? I have a poll I want to submit, but each option requires more than 30 characters.
Pretty idiotic that a person that posts ASCII art of a snail gets top comment every day. Do they get the top comment sat rewards as well? Are the rewards that easily gamed or has comment quality really gone down that much?
i give sats to the snail because of the consistency to show up
Buddy, what's the problem? I make an effort to be here early everyday. I don't spam and I keep it respectful. I would never feel bad if you or anyone else got the rewards. I really haven't done anything wrong so I don't understand why the negative comment towards me. No hard feelings, though.
Don't take it personally. You do you.
Maybe you should pour salt on the snail

Unfortunately just spend money...
I mean what else can you do? Everything costs at least 3 times more than 3 years ago.
Making money is harder than ever. Only online gambling and crypto industry is rising little bit. All other things are just falling.
I found out a friend of mine died in a car accident yesterday. Feels bad man. Something something time preference. Hug your loved ones people.
yes, sorry for your loss, hope you are doing okay
Sorry for your loss
Just had gpt4 pull some cool visuals together for me
Daily discussion threads - comments per day (since May):

We on the rise
Very very cool
Thanks, was too lazy to do this for @orthwyrm here, lol
But why only since May?
And I see, we must have more coments tomorrow to keep the streak going
gpt was having trouble with the full set of data for whatever reason
I mainly just wanted to convey that recent exponential growth anyway, comments ranged around 10-40 for a long time prior to August from what I glanced at
Even exponential tech can’t comprehend exponential gainz
interesting, lol
we could to the same for "sats spent in daily discussion"
Another day stacking cheap sats to cold storage. An exciting part of this bear market I hope to look back on!
Day 144 of snailposting everyday 'til BTC hits $100k.
__@_'-'

First there was the laser eyed maxis. Now there's snail club maxis. The philosophy is all there, we both waiting for 100k only difference is one is a snail
👍
⚡️🐌⚡️
what did you guys do to the daily lmao
I didn’t touch it… was the others.
we were waiting for you! haha
Will this be a record for total comments in the daily? I seldom see it crack 100, and the day is young.

107 comments before i even wake up??
deleted by author
did we squash it??
No, it's this one. I tried to reproduce locally but wasn't able to.
Maybe it's related to comments being relatively new. But we serialize everything in the backend (to prevent again draining fund) so I don't think race conditions should be possible 🤔
deleted by author
lol, now I can't unsee
And SJW probably also not when they read your comment
deleted by author
lol, 2.59 comments per minute or 23.16 seconds per new comment so far
test
ohh, i think i got it @nemo, @carlosfandango
at least i was able to trigger the bug, lol. i wanted to reply to this comment using
reply on another pageso it must be related to
reply on another pagedeleted by author
but for some reason it doesn't happen on my local machine. i need another comment thread with
reply on another page.how about we use this one? :)
-10 sats
-100 sats
-1000 sats
ok, short pause, don't want to pay 10k sats lol
deleted by author
i see ... even without using
reply on another page?or maybe it's really if two people use
reply on another pageat the same time?deleted by author
nah, you didn't. another data point
to which comment did you want to reply?
i think i'll just do some static code analysis now, lol
deleted by author
So it comes up at the bottom of the thread ‘reply on another page’… so I click that and enter this comment.
I just tried the same but it worked for me
Thank you (but not commenting)
i think we're already past the event horizon

lol, and I was confused about the
but that makes sense!
Very interesting bug indeed ... will reproduce today and fix. Maybe we can get a "emergency release" out this week
/cc @k00b

lol, I think I got a slight taste of the @k00b experience
I just looked at my phone and there are too many notifications
I might need to restart it to clear all of them, lol :)

deleted by author
@carlosfandango replied on a new page….
This is where all the trouble started as I recall….
Hang on a minute. The link I clicked that came up in my notifications had brought me here (the new page).
I feel like Dr Who walked into a festival toilet thinking it was his tardis and it’s brought him back to where he went in.
wait, so you can consistently reproduce it since it happens every time do you? lol
So i think there are two issues here; not placing comments in the right section of the posts and it’s producing new pages when comments are ‘full’ (usually around 10 replies in)
deleted by author
And when I look back at the main thread it shows your comment (not mine) and says; ‘reply on another page’
not sure I understand. To which comment did you try to reply?
And what do you mean with
deleted by author
Thanks for the detailed description! So it basically worked for me but not for you for some reason.
Good point, but it happened to me using a computer. The backend also shouldn't care what device you're using. Since this seems to be a backend bug.
edit (sorry, lol): maybe it's because we both were trying to reply to the same comment using
reply on another pageAnd I commented first and you commented after me
Can't confirm now since I'm on my way to somewhere but maybe that's indeed how to reproduce it :)
I'll send you some extra sats in that case
deleted by author
That's the spirit! But I would write it the other way around, lol: One dream - one team :)
Yeah, noticed the same. You'd have to click on the timestamp of a comment to make it the root to fix that.
Not sure if there's a better way
this is getting out of hand, lol
we already have 67% of the comments from yesterday
and it's only been 31 minutes, lol
if we keep this pace, there will be 3456 comments until the next daily discussion
Really? Though it might be more. And I don’t even comment that much.

let's blame @orthwyrm because of this comment, lol
edit: or maybe bot blame @orthwyrm
depending on the amount of top level cowboy comments, the snail has to check a lot of comments to find the fastest cowboy, lol
edit 2: ah no, it can just sort by recent, lol
Can we stop the editing. Making me look like even more of a muppet!
sorry, had to edit my comment again because there was a typo :)
That was more than a typo edit…. Lol
deleted by author
I don’t think that’s the issue - because no one would comment past the first post would they? It’s just fun to spend time with similarly minded people
i don't understand what you mean, my mind is already spinning, lol
Did I say similarly? I must have meant simple minded…
…(just joking)

why can you and @carlosfandango consistently trigger the bug but not me? lol

and btw, "architects" reminds me about the alien saga
I just divided 62 comments by 23 minutes and 23 minutes by 62 comments
Lol. We have a math genius amongst us. I have a riddle for you.

4 if those are all the same 2 eggs
6 if we take the present tense seriously
You're first answer is correct. You have 4 eggs left after you ate the 2 eggs.

I also noticed the amount of comments in the thread need to be even for a reverse thread.
So it must be like this:
A > B > A > B
not A > B > A > B > A
And this thread is already broken, since I replied twice to a comment of yours, lol
edit: wait ... I am dumb.
would work but not
since you can mirror the above but not the bottom one. Or B has to write what A has written

so many ideas: maybe there should be a bounty for the best daily comment
or maybe not, idk, lol
You can start your target practice on this comment ;)
ahh, you destroyed my attempt of starting a reverse thread haha
deleted by author
okay, i see, we could keep commenting here until the next daily discussion
I have to actually continue with my life now :)
deleted by author
i'll zap the one who has less zaps :) now you need to zap each other
No one zap this comment. I'm testing something new out.
what were you testing btw?
Lol. Nothing. I was using reverse psychology on your comment above. I guess @nemo and I won because we got the least amount of zaps :)

Too many comments to zap here
Aaaaah, it's still 11:59 on my clock!
Lol. Better change the time on that clock.
It's the clock on my computer, it should be synchronized using NTP
Maybe SN has to provide their own NTP server to make it a fair game, lol :)
The time should sync automatically if you're linked to the internet.
Well, that's the thing: I was linked to the internet the whole time.
I think there is really some difference between SN time and my time.
Since I sometimes see comments posted in the future, lol:

I am wondering the same thing. I think I am around 7s out.
Ok, to be fair, I think NTP was indeed not enabled on my computer.
I forgot it's not installed by default on Arch Linux
Lol. What's the price of Bitcoin in the future?
You have to tell me, person from the future :)
Lmao. Shit you're right. I'm from the future. Bitcoin price right now: $25740
deleted by author
Could be better, to be honest.
deleted by author
Lol. Yes, Bitcoin fixes the time.
maybe the daily discussion should be based on the timechain? So every 144 blocks, a daily discussion thread is posted? :)
Not sure if that would be really awesome or really bad, lol
That would be too unpredictable. The predictable nature of the daily discussion thread makes it fun and exciting.
Shouldn't be too unpredictable
And I thought perhaps it's more exciting to look at mempool.space until the block is found which should get more and more likely as time passes
But yeah, not sure about the idea :) You have a point!

So every 144 posts, a new daily discussion appears? lol

Beware the Jabberwock
The jaws that bite, the claws that scratch…
What's a Jabberwock?
A foul, loathsome creature
Sounds scary. I hope I never have to see a Jabberwock in person.
It’s gone now..
‘The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.’
What a relief!
Mr Snail?
Lol. Almost had me.
Next time…..
Definitely.

Thank you very much. I was feeling a bit down today but this thread got me feeling better and now you made my day even way better. I appreciate you and everyone in this thread.
Life can be hard sometimes, but the snail marches on. I'm glad you are feeling better!
That's true. __@_'-' don't quit.
