Announcements
Welcome to this week’s newsletter. We had some pretty good posts this week. I was particularly happy that @krawall, who I believe is a first time poster to the territory, asked the type of question that I wish we would see more of. Direct questions will hopefully provide answers from experienced stackers. Unfortunately the post didn’t get the engagement it deserved, but the answers were good. Thanks to everyone, and have a good week.
Top 5 Posts Of The Week
There will be a zap award for the top 5 posts weekly. It will be broken down as follows:
- 1000 sats
- 250 sats
- 250 sats
- 250 sats
- 250 sats
Posts will be judged using SN zaprank. The cut off time is 9:00am EST (1300GMT) Friday morning. I will post the top 5 winners shortly after 9:00am every Friday morning.
I reserve the right to not award any sats for the week. I hope I don’t need to suspend awards, so I will keep the bar low. Also, I reserve the right to deny sat awards to bare link posts. I recognize that link posts can be valuable, so I will only only exercise discretion for low quality links that garner few sats or engagement from stackers.
This Week’s Winners:
DarthCoin Posts
Learning Resources
The White Paper
Everyone knows about the white paper, but have you read it? Here is the pdf.
DarthCoin’s Guides
DarthCoin is a somewhat controversial figure with a manner that may take some getting used to, but I think his guides are excellent as step by step instruction. The sentence structure might be unconventional, and he may express some strong opinions, but you will learn what he has set out to teach you.
Here is a link to DarthCoin’s Substack Page, where you can find all of DarthCoin’s guides:

Radentor’s Guides
@Radentor posts some of the most comprehensive information a beginner could want. Here is a link to his posts. I expect more from him soon!
Why Bitcoin Only
Why Bitcoin Only is a massive trove of links, where you can find just about anything you’re looking for. It’s also fun to browse around.
Top Posts Of All Time
Here you will find a few of the top posts that have been posted to this territory. I am not going to adhere to a rigid zaprank system, since my purpose is to highlight content that has educational value. I will use an informal combination of zaprank and my own evaluation. For instance, some posts, though of high quality, are solely about Stacker News, and might have more appropriately originated as a meta post.
