SN release: million sat madness, reward leaderboard, top stackers by value, more

4928 sats \ 59 comments \ @k00b 1 Mar meta

Million Sat Madness is live! We repurposed the rewards page for it. It has a leaderboard with estimated payouts.

Other related updates:

you can now sort stackers by value in top, e.g. https://stacker.news/top/stackers/week
- this allows you to see who has been most rewardable historically according to our latest rewards algorithm
stackers who hide themselves from top now get a placeholder in rankings so people can really see how they're stacking up

I love it!

I like the way you handled all those sneaking sneakers. Careful y'all, the snooker can become the snorked.

Worthy having a quick peek if you are the sneaky sort… let’s see who it catches out (just for fun really)

I'd have a quick peek when less people around 🤓

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @carlosfandango 1 Mar

I did. Think I got away with it… position 64 woohoo!

Oh and rankings in the leaderboard are recomputed hourly.

641 sats \ 7 replies \ @k00b OP 1 Mar

If you're wondering why you're not on the leaderboard, it's because 50% of a stacker's value depends on how well they zap posts/comments as it always has been. If you don't zap well, early, often and meaningfully, your posts/comments will need to be 2x better (roughly) than others in the leaderboard who are zapping.

0 sats \ 4 replies \ @Fabs 1 Mar

That's dope, but does it reset one's "value" hour-by-hour, picking up again from the place one ended the last hour on, thus actually enabling to win or lose places by merely "out-zapping" someone who earned more Sats, which could be reversed the following hour, or how does the "value" work?

0 sats \ 3 replies \ @k00b OP 1 Mar

It doesn't reset value. It looks at a time period's best posts and comments and their zappers, and from that determines value.

0 sats \ 2 replies \ @Fabs 1 Mar

And that value gets added each time, resulting in one's placement?

0 sats \ 1 reply \ @k00b OP 1 Mar

Yes it isn't their latest value. It's their cumulative value over the time period. For MSM it's the cumulative value over the calendar month.

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @Fabs 1 Mar

That's a dope system, it's not about what you stack, but how you act.

0 sats \ 1 reply \ @Undisciplined 1 Mar

meaningfully

Meaning content valued by other stackers?

I guess I need to revise my montra again: "Zap big. Zap often. Zap early. Zap meaningfully." That's getting cumbersome.

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @k00b OP 1 Mar

By meaningfully I meant 'big' but your mantra does not account for zapping 'well' which is meant to mean zapping the good stuff you suspect we'll all like.

One additional note, all SN-affiliated accounts (@k00b, @kr, @ek, @sn) have been disqualified from participating in Million Sat Madness.

Yeehaw! 🤠

0 sats \ 1 reply \ @siggy47 1 Mar

So the rewards are not issued for them? Where do they go? How do you exclude the accounts and calculate it?

76 sats \ 0 replies \ @sn 1 Mar

correct, the SN-affiliated accounts are disqualified from participating. any rewards that would have otherwise gone to those accounts just gets added to the pool of bonus sats for Million Sat Madness

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @Natalia 1 Mar

Yeehaw!

sorry not sorry, will zap @ek more then 👀

What setting do we need to enable to appear in the ranking?

16 sats \ 2 replies \ @k00b OP 1 Mar

hide from top stackers

0 sats \ 1 reply \ @0xbitcoiner 1 Mar

I'm just thinking out loud, but maybe there should be a separate setting for MSM.

16 sats \ 0 replies \ @k00b OP 1 Mar

I thought about it but it leaks all the data people are saying they want to hide when setting hide from top stackers.

129 sats \ 1 reply \ @hasherstacker 1 Mar

Well planned and organized. This is interesting, how you put it. I don't think the ranking only applies to March.

175 sats \ 0 replies \ @k00b OP 1 Mar

The leaderboard on the rewards page does only apply to march. It's consistent with historical value ranking because the people in the leaderboard are consistently providing high value including within the last 12 hours.

"stacker is in hiding" 😂 - possible to add the anon hat? way cooler!

and how the percentage being calculated?

@kr came up with a static distribution. I'm not sure how he came up with it though.

It seems like it's not a secret after all. What a pity, I thought I was going to have a good puzzle on my hands.

What are the odds? The total comes out to exactly 100%! :)

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @danieltapa 1 Mar

ChatGPT got it!

"It seems like the values are decreasing and getting closer to zero. Additionally, the values are following a certain pattern where each subsequent value is approximately one-third of the previous value.

This suggests an exponential decay pattern. Specifically, it seems the values are being generated by the function:

f(n)=1/(3ˆn)

where n represents the position in the sequence (starting from 0)."

This is crazy. I was kicked out of the race because I don't have much time. What's the incentive to ZAP when you already know you're going to be left out? All that's left is to post good content.
