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!

I haven't watched TV in a long while. But I'm on the road with time to kill, so I switched on the BBC news channel to see what's happening in normieland.

So far they've had: Immigration, why golf courses should be shrunk for environmental reasons, immigration, a rapid increase in shoplifting over the past year, immigration, the benefits of moving to a cashless society, immigration, an inquiry into the government's covid-19 response and how it can be even more draconian next time, and immigration.

Shit's depressing. I'm glad I found Bitcoin and SN. We may be wrong and some of you are complete schizos, but at least I have fun here. Appreciate you all (even the schizos).

if we do sponsor SNL it will be a company that I think is making cool stuff on bitcoin or we won’t take them on

What do you mean with "where"? Are you talking about placing it on SN? Or are you talking about a sponsor banner behind you somewhere in the stream?

hello, for some sat whales

start a territory for whistleblowing or whistleblowers and make it a safe and reliable place for whistleblowing, i know there is no such place in the first layer of Internet, but can make a place where small whistleblowing happening that wont create or invoke some demons over stacker news's back.

whistleblowing territory will be fun as Stacker supports anonymous posts.

spamming will be an issue while stackers can moderate always.

@k00b your input or opinion is much appreciated.

Whistleblowers are welcome at ~oracle, since PMs pay you for whistleblowing :)

Morning stackers. This is an exciting time to be part of this nutty adventure.

I'd be curious about early thoughts about territories -- my mind is kind of spinning by the implication of it all.

33 sats \ 0 replies \ @bitcointerest 6 Dec 2023

I respect people and the choices they make but I think this will be a great way to onboard potential maxis. I started my journey with Bitcoin and the transitioned into alts but eventually found my way back to Bitcoin. This was mainly due to educating myself which is why territories can be helpful to engage a larger audience and educating them on why Bitcoin and not shitcoins.

685 sats \ 7 replies \ @davidw 6 Dec 2023 freebie

Morning Elvis. Said it elsewhere but think we’re going to see many many more nocoiners on SN.

People need to be aware and mindful of this. That we are to help them along in their journey. That their interests alone in some of these territories will see to it that they stick around. It’ll be rewarding to see their journeys and contributions. And for the penny to drop.

Oh and there’ll probably be more value to come from curation too. Exciting times.

349 sats \ 6 replies \ @elvismercury 6 Dec 2023

I think you're right.

I'm very excited for territories to get more moderating features. I know some people hate the idea (@Onions has made his thoughts on the matter clear; I think @DarthCoin, too), but I have the opposite take: I think the best possible implementation is one where territories can be as sovereign as possible, and a thousand experiments can bloom.

If I create one where I am a heavy-handed dictator with a particular vision, and I will smite posts that violate my vision, then people can select into or out of that vision -- you don't have to love Singapore, but you can't argue that it's not a well-ordered society. If you don't like it and want to live in Caracas, or Somalia, those options are mostly available to you.

I'm rarely sure of anything in life, but I'm sure that if the goal is to use btc to allow online community-building to flourish to maximal degree, one size will not fit all. If you believe in the marketplace for ideas, this is that.

A “signature” is a “sign” that merely suggests the existence of something else not actually there – it is not evidence of substance and living capacity. Someone who makes a “signature” is an “accommodation party" in “joinder” to an artificial legal “person” NAME, with Dead Status, serving as surety for the corporate national debt in the Admiralty Maritime Jurisdiction – the International Law of the Sea.

Whereas an “autograph” is a graphic from your living hand as a sentient, flesh and blood man or woman – it provides evidence of substance and living capacity, which is why a thumbprint is the ultimate “autograph” for a living man or woman. Someone who makes an “autograph” declares that they are a sovereign man or woman, with Living Standing, in the Common Law Jurisdiction – the National Law of the Land.

hot = front page

and saloon always only on the front page because saloon pinned as 8th item on front page

so this confirms this theory of me, I guess

so yes, you're right, it's a bug since I am pretty sure that @k00b did not intend to do this, lol :)

edit: or wait ... not sure. it always showed up on the front page in any territory so that it shows in the bitcoin territory isn't actually new.

maybe that's a feature, not a bug? since that's how subs/territories did work all this time so far? lol
