If not, thanks for funding this territory :)

I hadn't thought that this is a way to to implement the ante / stake idea informally -- I like it a lot!

But who will pay me back? lol

But I guess since it's my territory, I am already kind of paying myself.

It makes you think about what you want out of the deal, for sure. If a person was viewing it in purely economic terms there would be a tradeoff between curating the territory for "purity" vs what would garner the most sats.

I wonder how this will play out in terms of the usual outrage harvesting that you see on advertising-driven media. Will be interesting to see how direct financial effects change that; and how territories use different strategies.

I will keep fees low in ~security and ~oracle as long as possible. There isn't any spam in there yet (I actually have to post most stuff myself) so why use high fees? It just feels like rent seeking to me.

If I see a territory using high fees for no apparent reason, I don't feel like the founder thinks they are going to make it with lower fees. Which further means they don't really "believe" in the success of their territory. But maybe I am just overthinking it. Maybe I think ~security and ~oracle are not going to make it on high fees? lol

I'm trying to use low fees if possible to be welcoming. High fees only if necessary. But it's also an "growth hack" attempt.

What is this territory about then? I assume it’s not about shitcoins. If it is about cryptography, you could just name your territory a bit better, don’t you think? like cryptography, for example, to avoid confusion. Or is there a “bio” somewhere I am too blind to see?

The bio is only shown if you're on the hot page of a territory:

If it is about cryptography, you could just named your territory a bit better, don’t you think?

"crypto" was used for much longer for cryptography than "cryptocurrencies". The "crypto" part in "cryptocurrencies" literally stands for "cryptography". :)

I named this territory ~crypto on purpose to make everyone aware that we "actual" crypto people won't give up this term to shitcoiners without a fight.

fwiw, you can post about cryptocurrencies here if you want since as far as I am concerned, cryptocurrencies topics can also be about the involved cryptography. But don't expect that is the main purpose of this territory.

Update: It's 128 now because I like powers of 2.

And such a "weird" number might activate the brain of people since anything unexpected disengages autopilot mode.
