Darthcoin might be an OG Stacker, but I dont trust. I read FAQ. Is Darth WRONG?!
Yesterday I got into it with @Darthcoin about Attached Bitcoin Wallets #714773 and he dropped on me this SN bombshell. But do I trust an OG Stacker like him? No!

“upvoting with 1 sat or 1000 is the same in terms of reputation and "hot". The amount of sats you zap is just your personal appreciation to the OP.” -@Darthcoin
Excuse me Darth, but have you even read @k00b FAQ at the footer?
Do Zaps Help Content Rank Higher?
Yes. The ranking of an item is affected by:
- the amount a stacker zaps a post or comment
- the trust of the stacker making the zap
- the time elapsed since the creation of the item Zapping an item with more sats amplifies your trust, giving you more influence on an item's ranking. However, the relationship between sats contributed and a stacker's influence on item ranking is not linear, it's logarithmic. The effect a stacker's zap has on an item's ranking is trust*log10(total zap amount) where 10 sats = 1 vote, 100 sats = 2, 1000 sats = 3, and so on ... all values in between are valid as well. To make this feature sybil resistant, SN now takes 10% of zaps and re-distributes them to the SN community as part of the daily rewards.
Furthermore from the FAQ…
How Does Stacker News Rank Content?
Stacker News uses sats alongside a Web of Trust to rank content and deter Sybil attacks.
As explained here, stackers can send zaps to each other by clicking the lightning bolt next to a post or comment. The zap amounts are one factor that helps determine which content ranks highest on the site, and are weighted by how much the stacker sending the zap is trusted.
The Stacker News ranking algorithm works as follows:
- The number of stackers who have zapped an item
- Multiplied by the product of the trust score of each stacker and the log value of sats zapped
- Divided by a power of the time since a story was submitted
- Plus the boost divided by a larger power (relative to un-boosted ranking) of the time since a story was submitted The comments made within a post are ranked the same way as top-level Stacker News posts.
So I will continue to give @TheWildHustle the blue lightning bolt and zap 1000 sats to give the equivalent of 3 votes. His proof of work music has earned it! Every sat past 1 is NOT “The Dead Zone” but the Wild West, cowboy 🤠 #714679
Keep up with the memes tho! 🫡
“should I always remind you all that sats are scarce?” -@Darthcoin #715235
