Announcements

It’s the second week of my attempt to reward top posts in the territory. Thanks to everyone who produced valuable content. Just a few things I would like to mention:
  • All five top 5 posts will share in any zaps awarded to this post. It’s my small recognition that some stackers may feel a little squeezed by the Million Sats Madness, so I guess every little bit helps.
  • I would like to acknowledge @joko ‘s contribution to the territory, a boosted instructional post that contained a generous boost. This support is appreciated, and goes a long way in defraying the expenses of running the territory. Personally, I was happy to learn that @joko is a Bitbox employee. I’m the happy owner of a BitBox 02 bitcoin only edition for over a year.
  • One of this week’s top posts was from @Radentor. I invite everyone to look at the very effective way they used markdown to create an informative, organized post full of information. This is the type of post that I think can be very valuable on Stacker News, both in this territory and elsewhere. @ek, @DarthCoin, and I were discussing these type posts, along with the possibility that SN may incorporate a few changes in the future to help keep them updated and current.
  • I did slightly lower the posting fee for the territory, in another nod to any crunch that might be felt by Million Sats Madness. However, there is a likelihood that I will soon be raising minimum post fees. I want this territory to be a source of valuable content for new stackers. I don’t want to resort to moderating the territory, so my first step will be raising posting fees to cut down on scammy, junk posts. If that fails, I will try aggressive downzapping.
  • Finally, @cryotosensei practically ran the table for top posts.
Okay, enough of my babbling.

Thank you for the shout out and happy to hear you're happy with your BitBox!
Certainly not the last time I'll post my content here, as it's usually focussed on beginners.

Is quite sad that Siggy have to make this top5 compilation in a territory where should be only specific clean content with bullshit spam. People tend to spam newbies with all kind of crap info and links that only create more confusion.
And this was the main reason I didn't want to post in this territory. You can't deliver a good signal in a vast ocean of spam.
IMHO this should contain only simple step-by-step guides for total newbies. Written by humans, not shitGPT, not all kind of crap links.
Otherwise the Bitcoin territory is more than enough to post all that.

Yep, cheers to Siggy for making so much effort.
"People tend to spam newbies with all kind of crap info and links that only create more confusion".
I agree to that.. User just post random to be zapped. Some will hate this but its true.

Thanks Siggy. I missed the covenants post. I will give it a whirl.
