I'm thinking about reworking rewards:
  • 1/3 goes to top comments
  • 1/6 top posts
  • 1/4 comment upvoters
  • 1/4 post upvoters
Reason being, top posts already get quite a bit of love.

50% seems steep for upvoting rewards.
I’d argue that creators should be compensated more to encourage really high quality content on Stacker News.
The good content is already finding its way to the top of the page, but I think we could use more of it.

Fair point. I still feel like people under-upvote though, but I need to think it through more.

I wonder if this is a Bitcoin-specific issue. Bitcoiners are already taught to never sell their Bitcoin and spending sats incurs a capital gain tax for people in most countries.
There is likely a group of people on SN who so strongly oppose the idea of spending sats that there is no possible reward that could justify that action.
Good topic to explore in more user interviews 🤔.
