I'll point out here that @nullcount was the last person known to have cracked the leaderboard in this fashion.
Im pretty sure all of us have tried one time or another. I did for a while, it only lasted a week though. Because most of us make it on the board, it isnt so suspect when we move up a few ranks. But we all try to optimize our posting, right?
It's not as fun. I engaged in this depravity during MSM, but those were dark times and they called for dark measures.
I dont think that is gaming, though. When we are optimizing our posting? Or is it?
It's inauthentic to zap something just because you're confident others will zap it later, but there were a million sats on the line.
Oh, to clarify, I NEVER EVER zap anything that I don’t think is sincerely good content. EVER
You rarely post, though. I feel it is important to zap replys, because it keeps the conversation going. and is polite.
nemo playing around?
Can't be. I know who he is. Just my spy eyes have found him though I'm still trying to connect some broken pieces together. Will reveal once I have some strong evidence.
Dunno
Whos nemo?
Actually, I suspect it is someone who knows SN well. How possible is it to game the system this well?
I have learned stacker news pretty well, but again, not trying to game the system. “Gaming the system” was a bit of an accident, followed by a trolling of the system, and finally, realizing some folks were offended, hosting this AMA to determine if I want to continue zapping or just be a reader/poster.
Did you have a system in place for zapping or was it serendipitous happenstance?
I never zapped someone else’s content to get sats for myself, if that’s what you’re asking.
No, I'm asking about the quantities you're zapping.
I first shot up the leaderboard, because I was running an experiment to figure out how much I should be zapping. #287074
I'm wondering if something similar is going on here.
Its very interesting. Today, all the things you zapped were things I didnt. But to tell you the truth, I rarely zap stuff that is more technical, especially posts about the lightning network.
At this point, I dont think anyone is going to downzap you on your AMA. You might as well post with your nym.
I was not joking about not wanting to break character with the Wahlook account.
Any stacker has the opportunity to set the record straight. Once the story is determined, Wahlook will not break character.
I have a theory. You are seen as a villain by some, but I have a feeling that
Why do I say this? Well, you could have kept a low profile and continued to collect sats with little effort indefinitely.
Therefore, what advice do you have for SN and the rewards system?
