Hmm, it'd be interesting to see a split between stacking and tips. Tips would be easy to game (not that you have, just saying it's possible).
Circular tipping is something I’ve thought of. The only real mitigation would be to remove the stacked metric, break it up, or charge some tipping fee.

Interesting, didn't even think about that. I could theoretically just make another account and tip myself and my posts. I wonder if this gets bigger if that kind of gaming will become a bigger deal.
If you went with the tipping fee, would you do a sat or fractions of a sat, or?
reply
It’d probably be a percentage. But I don’t think that’s what we should do. Your “stacked” sats give you no special power and likely never will.

I like the idea of a tipping fee. It could be 'difficulty' adjusted based on the traffic in a way that it scales with server costs rather than userbase. Unless of course, your plan is to generate exponential profit ;)

That's interesting. I think @k00b can probably pull the data, but tips are at least 400 sats.
I funded the account with 500, currently my balance is 775 and in total I stacked 1129. That means that I also tipped and voted by 854 sats.
