Howdy there, partner! Welcome on into the Stacker Saloon.
Saddle on up to a stool and spill the beans about your day, fire away with them questions, or let loose and give us the lowdown on your wild and woolly life. We're all ears, so don't hold back!
We're open round the clock, so mosey on in whenever you please!
@k00b, check your TG, slack is not working
🤘⚡️SNL starting at 4pm today Texas time

Boney M. - Rasputin (45th Anniversary - Visual Album)
https://youtu.be/aA4N91IBpp0
Some good vibes right here.
i noticed there haven't been any rewards the last few days. is that a bug, or just more testing on how rewards work?
You posted only 363 items on SN.
Daily rewards are only for those who posted more than 1000 items.
And most important: they have a cowboy hat for at least 21 days.
Thank you for the info, much appreciated.
Going to start a podcast "What if Bitcoin Did" and interview soft fork proposers.
Ha, I'll start one too "What if Bitcoin didn't" I'll interview stackers and listen to them ramble about an alternate universe where they're stuck in clown world without a lifeboat.

Money is both so boring and so powerful.
It's been a while since the first fiat money: 7th century BC 😂
https://m.stacker.news/5157
Lol, this is so funny
Those look like gold coins. If that's the case then those coins can't be regarded as fiat currency because the gold itself has value.
This is the definition for fiat currency: A fiat currency is a national currency that is not pegged to the price of a commodity such as gold or silver. The value of fiat money is largely based on the public's faith in the currency's issuer, which is normally that country's government or central bank.

quite impossible but...
Today from 6 people 4 failed on the quantitative exam including me😂 How can you finish with 15 different calculations in 1 hour???? Not even talking about how boring is it to use nonsense formulations. So annoying. Even if I get my diploma I would never work to a bank or any institution that tells me my time table... This shit is up side down.. F*cking hating this..
What is the exam for? Like what diploma?
Better luck next time...!
Thanks, it is corporate finance 😄

Let us know how long it took them to clean the yard.
We used to have flocks come graze in our yard in California. I've heard they're really hard to hunt but they are seem so docile
@k00b different videos from https://yewtu.be show up as dupes when you go to post them on SN
damn... these yews are watching SN and play with algo 😂😂😂😂
Conspiracy alert!
Ah I'll make a ticket
@Car, this SNL will be finally on https://zap.stream/ or not?
Last time we tried it the stream didn't show up.
Let's crowdfound a nostr zap.stream course for @Car
Well today was OK. Worked half day. Not a permanent job. Was really hot here today. Now it's cooler with a chance for some rain. After I got home my back was hurting so much I went to lay down and found myself passing out. Also stacked a couple sats here and there and also stacking others here and there. May y'all have a restful evening.
Im glad your day was good. Its a shame to hear about your back. I hope you its better after the rest. Im also stacking sats because why not, its fun.
I want to put some attention to The Perils of Premature Protocol Ossification from @nerd2ninja since I'm quite surprised there were no sats or comments.
I bookmarked that post to watch it later and comment. I did now and then I wanted to push it to the front page by zapping it heavily but looks like my ability to do that has passed, lol
So I am asking the cowboys in the saloon to reconsider watching it - maybe you just missed it? :)
I agree with @DarthCoin. Thanks!
so many lost good posts... in the ocean of spam, sad.
Is good with these reminders. Thanks.
What's going on with freebie posts, how do they work now?
wdym?
I see someone with 15/21 recent posts are freebies, seemed like a lot
I've been thinking about doing a semi-long form write-up about my experience with a FutureBit Apollo miner in the coming weeks, now that I've had it for several months. Is that something folks would be interested in reading?
Im keen to read your experience. Share the link in the saloon when you've published the post.
Yes, I like to read that kind of content.

Howdy partners! Just HODLing onto my hat here. Just hit 70 days!

Man you have a big head. Lol.
But on a serious note, congratulations on the achievement.
Congrats!
Do people want to bet if I'll be able to release a MVP of delphi.market until 1st December 2023?
We could make a prediction market about my prediction market 👀
I need to write down the features that should be included in this MVP first though
I'm willing to bet 50k sats that I'll be able to do it. See how confident I am. lol
Lol. No bet. My sats are staying where they belong: under my mattress.
Oh, btw, related thread: #319004

It's kind of rude to ask questions about a feature that doesn't exist yet, but I'm curious what the sub-board design will look like, the assumptions underlying it, and the features it will include to support the design goals.
For instance: you can imagine that sub-boards could be administered by a moderator; and then the mod gets to say "these are the rules to be here" a la Reddit. But what if the sub is about a contentious topic (e.g., religion, politics, the block subsidy) and douchebags show up to the sub trying to DDOS everything with asshole comments from multiple accounts, etc?
Then I thought: what if a sub could have an "ante" where you have to ante up some number of sats if you want to post, and the ante is timelocked so once you ante, you can't withdraw for a while. The sats are held in reserve in a sub-sub-wallet (ha!). If the user is an asshole, the mod can sweep the funds into the SN rewards pool.
Obviously you can imagine ways the mod can abuse this; but you can also see how market incentives provide strong abuse counter-incentives: a smart mod would be judicious about funds-sweeping, and would make a case for why she was proposing to sweep. If the sub got a bad rep, people would stop anteing up and the sub would quickly die. But there would be a public record of the action, and the user's actions pre-sweep, so people could decide for themselves.
Like the SN version of free-banking. Market in action. Only possible using btc / LN.
We've been calling this
staking. It's a feature that https://sphinx.chat has had for a long time.It's been brought up a few times and I totally agree that we should add it as an option for sub founders. It hasn't made sense to add it to existing subs because all of these things slow growth, but one of the reasons I'm very excited for subs is that we'll hypothetically have tons of subs/economies with different rules running in parallel and competing.
Frankly, I'm open to adding all kinds of governance knobs for sub founders. As an extreme example of something interesting yet not something I'm sure we want to do is supporting coercion. It's something real economies have so why not virtual ones? If participating in subs (ie being a citizen in a territory) is opt-in, sub founders could maybe have some form of government and rule to seize assets of its citizens found guilty of being an asshole or levy more than just "sales tax." I don't think those subs would be popular but I don't actually know. Some people probably want to yield a gun and others probably prefer living under a gun yielded in way that they like.
tldr MVP won't have staking but I'd be happy to add it after the MVP.
This needs a full SNL episode only.
@Car please convince @k00b to make a special episode about his topic.
If moderators were able to set the price for posting in the sub, wouldn't that give them the ability to head off your douchebags? I guess the point is that people behaving well can get their antes back, but I would imagine they're the ones getting zaps and rewards for their posts anyway.
I think setting a baseline posting price (e.g., every post costs x) is roughly isomorphic to the ante idea, but different enough that it might feel different in practice. I'm not sure, though!
I imagine that posts costing 100 would result in different douchebag behavior than a douchebag anteing up 10k, knowing that he's going to be a douchebag (surely that's not a surprise to him, although who can say) and will consequently lose the 10k. It's like you're paying 10k for the exuberance of making a shitty post/comment that will be deleted in short order; and then your subsequent antes will simply be sent to SN rewards, so it's basically one and done.
(Is there an easy way to post the "sats" symbol, btw? How do people do that?)

Have a great day!
Stack and spend some sats!

Keep on stacking those sweet, sweet sats.
Has anyone ever split wood? My neighbors do it a lot. It looks to be pretty intensive labor. I'm spoiled. I have always bought mine cut and split. The extra fee always seemed reasonable. But, now there's a lot of free firewood around if you do your own splitting.
When I lived with my grandfather, we had a small kitchen house heated by a wood stove. Once he got to his 80s I started taking over chopping wood in the winter. He was a veteran from WWII, Darby's Rangers 1st Ranger Battalion. Hard to tell someone from his generation to go sit down and let someone else do the hard work.
I think the older generation was built differently compared to the lazy asses of today. Social media and to be fair, the internet has completely f**** the youth of today. Majority have been consumed with shitty trends that has no real world benefits. I'm glad platforms like SN exists at least. The only places on the internet with sane people.
Many ways to go about it, all pretty dangerous if you're not concentrating. But then what would life be if there was no risk? In any case it is your own risk, in your own hands, a little like that thrill of the "has it worked" before your transaction shows up in its destination wallet. Whatever it is you're doing - don't rush.
I'm old, with a growing list of health issues.

Say hi to Bobby.
McGee or Weir? Weir is still of your world. Pretty good run, all things considered.
In my country, trains as a mode of transport are the worst. Hopefully you're not waiting for hours for your train. I'm glad I don't have to travel by train anymore.

Wow I will try this, I like trying something new, it'd what makes life interesting.
thanks me later 😋 so delicious!
When I was a kid I used to drink fresh milk directly from the cow's tits.
Delicious and very healthy.
Indeed kaymak is excellent, I know it.
My grandma was doing the same as you explained and I always sneak into the room where she kept the milk over night and took all the kaymak.
I was something like this...

Ah childhood memories, funny when you think back it is some of you nest times in life but in some instances you thought it could be your last. I remember eating the inside of my uncles wedding cake out and just closing the whole again, I got a beating of my life but it was worth it the cake was 😋 delicious.
