It would be interesting to know what would have happened if there were no leaderboard.

I also do not like the leaderboard. And is quite misleading. And leaderboard with "hidden stackers" doesn't make sense. or we are all in hidden or we are all out in the open.

I completely agree. We are competing with the invisibles. They can see us by we cant. I wonder if that is a physical MSM, visibles would be losers from the get go.

As one of the invisibles, I think I agree with you. The main reason I don't go visible is that I don't like advertising how many sats I've stacked.

But perhaps there is a case to be made that if I want a part of the competition I should not be able to stay hidden. I can make it visible.

It will be very frustrating if the top 3 slots are all hidden when the competition concludes. Not good for morale.

Most likely, two of the top three are k00b and kr, who are both ineligible, and the other one is siggy.

Pretty sure SN affiliated are excluded from the leaderboard.

@grayruby told me that they weren't. They're excluded from the competition, but they are on the board.

21 sats \ 14 replies \ @grayruby 21 Mar

I was wrong. Ek clarified the other day they are not on the board. I @ you but I dont think you saw it.

0 sats \ 13 replies \ @Undisciplined OP 21 Mar

Oh ok. I was pretty excited when I thought I was two spots higher than I am.

Who are those other two, then?

I only hid myself so that I have no idea if I'm on it or not. I'm 99.9999% certain I won't be anyway but I choose not to look. I don't like the leaderboard for all the reasons I have previously written about (fiat style school competition etc...) We can't beat up on ppl for hiding themselves. It's their choice. The MSM and leaderboard is forced upon us whether we like it or not. So unless you just stay away from SN for a whole month you can't avoid it.

Leaderboard is like the big sticker chart on the wall at school or the house points system.

31 sats \ 1 reply \ @Scoresby 20 Mar

Definitely. The leaderboard changes a lot. But without it I could see people feeling unhappy with how things shake out.

Also, it helps that we can see roughly how many sats we might be getting back. Maybe there's a version of this where we can see our estimated rewards without seeing the leaderboard.
