19 replies \ @DesertDave 5 Dec \ on: How Darthcoin Wants to Destroy Stacker News! alter_native
I love the rewards. It motivates me in a positive way. I trust that it's only going to improve. I have faith in the builders @k00b @ek, and the rest. I have no fear of scammers and "ass-milkers". It will work itself out. I have faith in stackers. No need to gatekeep. Isn't that the reason we love Bitcoin and platforms that run on Bitcoin, to be free and open. Let the scammers scam and the milkers milk. It won't last for them. Bitcoin has a way if working these things out. Incentives work. Let the community decide. I am also clueless about how a lot of this works so I don't know what is best. Leaderboard or not, I like where we are headed here. Thank you stackers. Keep it up.
Come on guys, it's fine that you don't like the proposal, it's okay that you don't like darth criticizing you, but saying that he wants to destroy stacker news when he has done more for SN (and bitcoin) than all of us together, is just untrue and petty. Let's not lose sight of our enemies, it's obvious that darth is an ally of SN, wanting to keep shitcoiners away from such a cool tool as bitcoin, he knows they are going to use it against the sn spirit (bitcoin) just in favor of shitcoinery, nothing else is more

I agree that he wants what is best for stacker. And he has a valid perspective. I also think he is blinded by his ego. He wants to be right more than he wants to have an actual discussion. We would all probably be more effective in our communication if we left out names and specific instances I'm our discussions. I have work to do on this.

It won't last for them
This has also been my reason for not getting too worked up about any of these things.
We have lots of tools already to deal with this stuff and they can always tweak the rewards system if something gets out of control.
k00b has described the rewards system as something like "Get paid for doing things that are good for Stacker News" and that is pretty much how it works.
The real issue is that Darth doesn't like most of the new stackers and hates the kinds of things they're interested in. He can't see that these are just differences of subjective preferences, so he lashes out and ascribes ulterior motives.

I agree 100%. By doing so he's harming SN more than he does good with his guides. He started hating me when I confronted him for his bullying newcomers on their bio.
Why can't he accept that there are 99.99999% people in the world who're not Bitcoiners either at all or not the way he wants them to be?
I'm also very new to Bitcoin without so much of technical knowledge. I knew I could write and I had a dream to be a journalist but I could only become a teacher. It was only in 2019 I came in contact with Bitcoin and due to not having proper knowledge, I treated Bitcoin like stocks, I accept. At one stage, I even had a few shitcoins (who didn't have?). But from 2021, I've been holding on Bitcoin and just stacking more and more. I just don't like that you gotta be technically sound to be called a true Bitcoiner. I like things to be so easy that even a dumb/noob can understand them.
Are my views of that a shitcoiner's? Or, while accusing me as one, he means that he has access to my wallet/wallets?
I don't know why he's so full of hatred? But I'm ready to leave SN if it means only a 'Bitcointalk' which he wants it to be. If it's not, he needs to be stopped bullying newcomers and other Stackers.
reply
I am not technical either I don't use stacker to talk about Bitcoin. I want it to be for everyone. I think attitudes like darths is why people find Bitcoin so unapproachable. It is a problem. The look from the outside isn't great.
reply
No I do not like liars, shitcoiners, assmilkers, idiots, shitGPT-ers to come on SN and fill it with noise and garbage, meanwhile is profiting from others sats.
I will repeat: remove the leaderboard and the daily rewards and let's see then what they will post. But only sick minds will think that I want to destroy SN...
I must say to you again: don't play with shit... you will smell like shit too.
reply
I can't speak for anyone else, nor do I want to...
But sending and receiving sats is what makes Stacker News (and Bitcoin) great.
Every 'article' I've written I've fully expected some people to agree with... and others to disagree with and that's what makes Bitcoin great. But I've never written an article to 'earn sats' give me a break. Instead I write because SN is a great forum and a homebase for Bitcoin 'out in the wild' at least as closely as it can approximate.
It's a "third place" for Bitcoiners... when they're not at work (where noone knows about Bitcoin) or at home (when I introduced Bitcoin to family and they were like ???).
SN is a place to 'hang out' and that's all. I've learned a lot being here, while also disagreeing with some of the takes here but that's natural.
reply
I don't doubt your intentions. You clearly care about SN. You're not alone in that, though.
Whether you want to or not, getting rid of the rewards system would destroy stacker news.
Nothing you've described as a problem requires that as a solution.
reply
I'm confused... why would we want to get of Sats rewards?
People get rewarded for valuable contributions, write-ups, and reviews..
And they also receive small 'rewards' for interesting comments or memes.
The sats flow. And that would be replaced with ?
reply
It would just be replaced with hostile gatekeeping bullshit, as far as I can tell.

Good luck swimming in the assmilkers shit-pool

I know, you MUST say it. You seem to be unable to communicate a thought to me without throwing an insult in the mix. That is your ego buddy. Take a look. It's NOT necessary. You might find people listen to you better if you left out the petty jabs. How would you describe an idiot? It seems it is probably just people who have different views than you. What is an idiot to you?
reply
Here is very simple explained how they fool you...
maybe someday you will understand this meme...

LOL

Never does he answer my questions.. no room for discussion with Darth. It must be tough being right all the time. Thats how people have heart attacks. Take care of yourself.
reply
You are still too blind to see the truth.
reply
I agree. And personally I want to see as many new people here as possible. If they want to share about shitcoins, so be it. It won't be popular for long, if at all. While I am a bitcoiner through and through, i find Bitcoin content boring. I am not a developer, and I trust that work to other people. There is a lot more to sharing human experience than just talking about Bitcoin and citadels. I am here to see all ideas flow as freely as possible. That is my future..free and open. Incentives and the community will take care of bad actors. I want to see so many more territories of all types. I am tired of the general public thinking bitcoiners are a bunch of jerks. I see it on their face every time I bring it up. Bitcoin is for everyone, not just coders and preppers. It's okay to have a little faith and let the future come to us. There is nothing to fear but fear itself. Let the cards fall where they may.

Exactly!
reply
Exactly! We don't need gatekeepers here; if he's so bothered, he can create his own SN. It's obvious that rewards will be improved, as hinted by ek and k00b.
