Today I was reading about the changes coming on November 5th on the SN platform. I find it interesting that the Cowboy Credit (CC) is introduced and that to be extracted it must be sold in SATs. I don't know what motivated that decision but I'm sure there must be a good reason, I don't doubt it.

In this case, would using CC to incentivize work within the platform be good? Will it be necessary to use P2P to exchange CC for SATs?

Stacker News is different from the rest precisely because of the community incentive, this quote is in the community history:

"Behavior in human communities develops as a result of the incentives humans in the community are given, and existing online communities influence behavior by format, pseudo-reputation, gamification, and moderation. Basically their communities develop as a result of expression limits, rewards backed by nothing, and centralized control. My assumption with Stacker News is that Bitcoin fixes this by having users stake something other than pseudo-reputation, Bitcoin, and earn rewards that are worth something in the external world, Bitcoin."

I'm not judging, questioning or criticizing the decision of the creators of this excellent platform, nor would I want it to be interpreted that way. I'm just trying to understand how it's going to work.
