174 sats \ 16 replies \ @Natalia 20 Mar \ on: Million Sat Madness is a Keynesian Beauty Contest meta
As a creator, all I want is to have my own time focus on learning and creating instead of rushing for the "Beauty Contest," and I'm more into attracting those who see the unique side of me. 👀
As for the rewards, I would say KISS; otherwise too much complexity takes away all the joy.

As I understand it, the rules are basically the same, except that the scores are applied over a month instead of a day.
On average, people should be getting a similar amount to what they would have gotten with daily rewards. However, I think it's going to skew towards established stackers and work against newbies.
i agree here, i spend so much of my SN time in ~Music doing what i can to engage with the people there and to grow that territory. when i'm not having to unfortunately return to the fiat mine. i don't find a lot of time to browse much more of SN, theres plenty of territories i'd like to spend more time in, but as i'm creating content and engaging with the people interacting with that content i find myself very tied up. if its kept really simple, and not too easy to game the system it could be great for all participants.

I'd love for someone to unearth a simple mechanism for eliciting honest zaps. Fingers crossed.

All we need is an implanted brain chip that can detect the dopamine increase as well as track the post we were reading, then automatically zap based on how much we got out of it. Seems pretty simple, and no way it could go wrong.

there could be a timer implemented into a window? when you hit reply, it starts counting up in sats on the zap (which would be auto since you're replying) and the longer you take to respond (the assumption is you're engaging more than one word answers there). the more you auto zap the parent comment. when writing your own comment in response to a post, same thing applies, only its the main post that gets the zaps.
but i have zero coding knowledge of how to implement that. i don't even know if you could automatically bill someone via zaps, i'm unsure its possible as that transaction needs to be signed effectively? thats all way above my head. but i'm interested to hear how @kr and the team of devs would do something like that if they chose to do so.

That's a very fun experiment proposal. All the miserly hodling cheapskates would flip out.
reply
i can see them now, losing their minds as they furiously type at super speed to keep the post long but the costs low 🤣 just better hope they don't accidently leave a reply window open whilst browsing something else. that could be a big bill to come back to.
reply
timing things is like tests at school, very stressful. I would definitely leave the site if that happened LOL
reply
Although meant quite tongue in cheek, it does highlight some obstacles. I wouldn't be too pleased to find a huge bill. And I don't know if I like enforcing zaps if you are engaging. Zaps are a choice... But I do wish more users would choose to zap.

As someone who has on occasion tabbed away and found an open comment window hours later, I think I'd be broke in a heartbeat.
reply
You and me both. My comment was meant very tongue in cheek, but it does highlight an obstacle to overcome. Needs to have built in redundancy should you tab away for example.

Anyone have Elon's number? I'm sure he's looking for human volunteers.

that's exactly what needs to happen. Surely it can't be rocket science!
reply
Rocket science has been solved. There are hundreds of brilliant minds still working on designing incentive compatible mechanisms. It's much harder than rocket science.
