As you may know, I am quite old stacker here on SN and I've seen a lot during these years. For those new reading this post, please read my SN bio first.
I would like to give some advice for all those new coming to SN. I saw quite many coming lately.

1. To remember:

  • I always read almost all new bio and I pay attention to what they say. And it says a lot, especially being their first words here...
  • BEWARE SHITCOINERS! I am watching you! I truly despise any shitcoiner. But I am giving you only once chance to prove yourself. If you waste that chance, I will mark you as "shitcoiner"... FOREVER. I have no remorse for shitcoiners that ignore that chance.
  • Do not try to fool my "bullshit detector". Is very well trained.
  • Do not try to pretend being a bitcoiner, writing a "nice" bio about how devote you are to Bitcoin. During your time posting, I am testing you with trap questions that will reveal your true face... a shitcoiner.
  • Do not try to change your bio from a shitcoining text into a bitcoining text. I am making screenshots.
  • Do not try to change your alias nym. Your posting history will prove otherwise and I usually post specific comments on your posts, like trace to indicate me later who you really are.

2. What you should do:

  • Once you arrive on SN, post a nice bio, no need to be a lot of text like mine or others. But at least show your true intentions on SN. Be careful what you write there. Be sincere and you get more credit from the start.
  • Update your bio as you whish with more data, but keep in mind all of the above.
  • Choose wisely your nym. The SN alias name it says a lot about you. No need to use your real life name. Your alias name (nym) should be something unique that represent you and your online personality (not necessary the real life personality).
  • Don't try to fool SN system with multiple sockpuppets accounts. Yes, sometimes, if you create a territory and want to operate with another separate nym, is OK and necessary, but not for vote manipulations and other brigading and assmilking techniques. My "bullshit detector" is well trained also for these and I take notes.
  • all the rest: post nice, useful posts, comments, links and you will get rewarded.
  • avoid totally to post links from shitcoin webs and talk about shitcoins. You will get instant karma.
That's all. If you decide to ignore my advice, that's on you...

When I read the β€œZen of Stacking Satellites on Stacker News” by @siggy47, there was one paragraph that caught my eye under the subheading A WORD OF CAUTION and the following
"A Word Of Caution One caveat : This is a bitcoin site. The site is filled with bitcoin maxis. If you're at the stage where you're experimenting with other coins, or if you think there is a place for sh... um, alt coins in this world, you are entitled to your beliefs. You will find your people here too, eventually. Mentioning it in your bio, though, might not be the best move. You can bring it up later. If you ignore my advice, at best you will be ignored. At worst, you shall suffer the wrath of @DarthCoin. Good luck, brave one. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger! (I don't buy that. If you live but lose a leg? Or suffer serious head trauma? Never mind"
At first I was shocked I was scared, even shivered, and now I understand the warning. But you know what: I am calm now because I understand the nature of someone who wants things to be the way they are. You have shown that you are intelligent, although inquisitive at times, but it is the zeal to take care of what is good. Bitcoin is the best and Stacker News is a great opportunity to do PoW and learn. We must take care of it. So when we invite someone, let them really deserve it. Thanks

And siggy also did an excellent "Darth translator" guide: #147162
reply
Siggy didn't even tackle your iconic "Assmilking" phrase in that translation. We probably need a second volume.

The tides have changed a bit. Before, it was the case that the only shitcoiners left knew exactly why what they were doing was fucked up. They had experienced all the FTX rug pulls and shitcoin rug pulls and pump and dumps for themselves.
What has changed is that now we have a mix of new potential victims (a new sucker born every minute right?) who genuinely have no fucking clue why they're about to get fucked over or how them shilling to other people is going to fuck over those other people.
I wield my weapons appropriately to this changed landscape. Anyone who doesn't know, will receive an education. Any willfully ignorant or intentionally scamming (the only difference is whether the person has a cognitive dissonance or not) will receive social stigma and downzaps.

Also very important to note that many Bitcoin promoted business things are scammy as well. Like remote mining, earning yield and any number of nonsense.
Always remember Andreas Antonopoulos advice on not investing in anything what you can not afford to loose. Andreas has a bit of shitcoin in his past (present?) but his Bitcoin work is solid,
Also,, clean up your loose ends of your "regular" life. It is probably full of nonsense and it will be revealed by focusing on a constant, Bitcoin. Be careful that you may in fact become religious which is what happened to me and I'm very grateful for this.

Thank you for sharing these tips with those of us who have just started the Bitcoin journey.

I love some of your content here: https://darth-coin.github.io/ maybe in the future I can help with some other language that is not translated.
reply
All guides are already in Spanish on my substack, only that I got busy/lazy and didn't upload it to github repo. But you are welcome to do whatever language you want.
reply
The device and internet provider is from spain (for my privacy) I don’t live and I am not from Spain hahaha I love your toxicity.
reply
My toxicity goes way beyond your imagination...
reply
I like you it’s ok
reply
I want to hear....what does your "bullshit detector" say about me, darth?
reply
that information is only for me
reply
You keep a little black journal for that information?
reply
only for those that bring more attention. It will be insane to keep for all stackers...
reply
I must be flying under your radar, then.
reply
I have just checked whether or not a shitcoin named as darthcoin exists. I couldn’t find any reference. Lucky you 🀣
reply
in fact there's a shitcoiner on twatter, named darthcoin. Is not me, FYI. I never had any account on twatetr, facebook, instagram etc. Will always be scammers trying to impersonate me, but they will never be me, I have my unique form of writing...
BTW, the coin darthcoin is only ONE and is mine. It was forged with a rare metal from the Mustafar planet. Absolute scarcity and will never be traded or used. Is just mine.

Thank you πŸ’š
