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?

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 ;)
