Well hello stackers!

I have a goodie for you: NEW ~tutorials territory.

About this territory

~tutorials territory is dedicated to any tutorials that somehow make your life better. I especially appreciate if you provide novel tutorials for things that are really hard to otherwise figure out. This can range from "how to better water pickles" to "how to exit vim" and anything in between.
Currently I'm setting the post price to 500 sats, but let me know if that's too steep.
Well, I won't mind that 500 sats if I come up with something that would completely fit in ~tutorials but I've seen many stackers posting in a lower cost territory if somehow suits to that territory.
~Tutotrials is same to many territories in the same way. Let's say if someone has a tutorial post about Bitcoin and LN. Where would he like it to be posted? Most probably in ~bitcoin_beginners or if he don't want to spend even 100 sats, he can go with ~lightning.
But many congratulations for the territory and I wish you all the Luck. BTW I'm a part time tutor ...

unfortunately bitcoin beginners and lightning it became a spammers heaven...

54 sats \ 1 reply \ @nout OP 17 Jun
Maybe @siggy47 could switch ~bitcoin_beginners to be moderated? I think for the beginner/intro topics that would be desirable.
reply
I have thought about it.

I didn't find any spam post there. May be my knowledge is way too little to catch one.
reply
Especially the "bitcoin_beginners" should have only Q&A from newbies, basic tutorials for them, helping posts in general.
Do not bombard them with hundreds of general articles, podcasts episodes, meaningless videos, memes or whatever other crap.
I see barely 5-10% good content for bitcoin beginners there.
The lightning territory, again is bombarded with general information that should go to any other territory or directly to bitcoin. Barely you can find specific posts (again) about use cases, Q&A from users about specific use of LN.
But yeah many assmilkers post there because is cheaper to throw infinite number of links without any value for that territory, just with the hope they will grab some few sats.
I really think that SN territories are too cheap to post. People get totally wrong what is SN, they mainly think is a faucet and not a way TO PAY for posting good content.
reply
You're right about assmilkers. I agree. I see some stackers are only posting links. They even don't bother to read comments. What's surprising to me is that an assmilker [who only post links] always remain in top 10.
Yes, I also feel that many people think that SN is a faucet. That's why they are just posting copied content and links. There's also a problem that these people think that they know everything. I'm not against high fees but it's territory owners who decide about fees. Idk, do they have power of red flagging spammers and assmilkers?
reply
The people that post super often get zapped, so apparently someone is indirectly saying it provides value
reply
People are welcome to put bitcoin tutorials here, but it's also ok to use more specific territories for that :)
reply
Sounds like a good addition and I hope the territory becomes a center for learning and that it at least covers costs.
reply
Very sweet, I think this is much needed, and it will be nice to search up things like "how to consolidate UTXO's" or "How to send ecash via enuts". I nice hub for all things tutorial.
reply
500 says is perfectly fine and I'm sure this move to launch the territory will benefit the community. Thanks a zillion!
reply
Awesome. Great addition.
reply
This is very cool!
Godspeed
reply
That's a great idea! I think stackers have a lot of tutorials related to different topics that could be very useful.
Thanks for creating this territory!
reply
Pretty cool
reply
I agree to other comments that you need to be equal or below the average of other territories costs to prevent slippage due to how easily it's to overlap any other theme a tutorial is related to. If I have a DYS tutorial on a hardware wallet, I would pay 100 to get it here. But for 500? I'm going to ~bitcoin right away, for it's way too cheaper and still makes perfect sense.
reply
congratulations, I'm sure this territory will contain a lot of good information, which will take us into new rabbit holes, so drop your tutorials here!! thanks for the initiative
reply
I have guides mostly about nostr, shall I post it up here? Unfortunately, SN doesn't have a cross posting feature.
reply
Good addition to territories! Expecting some good stuff.
reply
Interesting. The 500 sats is ok. That can keep away the spammers.
reply
Yeah, it felt like a reasonable balance to try getting good tutorials, but I may update it in future depending how it goes.
reply
"how to exit vim" 😂
welcome ~tutorials! congrats
reply
Great! I'm already waiting to see what tutorials are uploaded to this territory
reply
Do you rent this territory or aquire it forever? Good luck, mate. I'll be happy to read tutors over here, no matter it'll be "how to boil water" or "how to find the meaning of life"

Time-saving tip for vim:
Instead of doing... [ESC]:wq ...whenever you want to write and quit,
You might consider just doing this instead: [ESC]:x
You will save yourself a few keystrokes, and a few milliseconds every time you do that. https://www.reddit.com/r/vim/comments/sftrw5/x_vs_wq/

10ms * 100 times a day = 1 sec a day. 360 sec a year. Over 10 years, that's one hour. That's the way~~
I could also have saved 2 minutes by not writing this message though...
