Howdy Stackers,
As announced, it's finally time. We're now preparing for a SN Awards Show on New Year's Eve.
For the process of selection under various categories, I gladly announce that all of you can now nominate for THE TERRITORY OF THE YEAR in the comments below.
Important
  • You can nominate a maximum of 5 territories of your choice.
  • The deadline to submit/edit your nomination for this category is end of day Christmas.
After the deadline for nominations, out of all the submissions by Stackers, the top five choices (by number of selection) will be selected for the final nominations.
Now over to you guys, let's make it a grand success and help us 🙏 establish a festival (SN Annual Awards) for the Stackers and by the Stackers.
Waiting for your participation.... (Nominations in the comments for THE TERRITORY OF THE YEAR)
In case you haven't already nominated for THE STACKER OF THE YEAR, kindly visit here and participate.
Thank you so much.

The Award & The Prize

Contribution by stackers:
Zaps on "SN Annual Awards" Posts (-30%) will also contribute to the pot. So far we've got 4034 (2824) Sats here #791735, #803667, #806484
  • Total = 46380 Sats
I've thought to equally divide the sats as reward among the winners of each category. However I'd like to know your view on the prize distribution percentage for I also think the reward for STACKER OF THE YEAR should be more than other categories. Kindly suggest.
Easy one:
Stacker Sports
  • Most popular stacker owned territory
  • Has a podcast
  • Is profitable
  • Origin pre dates territories
reply
stacker owned
Is there a difference in territory ownership? What territories aren't owned by stackers?
reply
~bitcoin,~meta,~nostr, and ~tech are owned by the Stacker News site, I believe.
reply
Sorry, but I've to disagree. I believe @k00b is also a stacker. And these territories are owned by him. I know you're saying it because he owns SN. But we have to accept that he behaves more like another stacker than an owner.

Hello sir, did you just forget to predict there on round 6 of Cricket pool? #807795
reply
Yes. Thanks
reply
Thanks. Would you only nominate one?
reply
Yes
reply
He's right you know. GR walked so we could run. Some great territories doing great work but this is #1
reply
Allocate more to whichever category I win and less to whatever @grayruby wins.
My nominations for Territory of the Year:
reply
Great choices! But why ~stacker_sports when you don't want @grayruby win.
reply
Who said I don't want him to win?
reply
Allocate more to whichever category I win and less to whatever @grayruby wins.
You said about it here. I think I've misunderstood it.
reply
I was just answering your prompt about how to allocate the award funds.
Give the most to @siggy47.
reply
As I said I misunderstood it. Sorry. But it again shows how badly you wanna be ahead of @grayruby! ;)
reply
It's just a suggestion. Feel free to disregard it, if someone makes a better one.
reply
Nah! I get it now. I'll put a slight variation for the sake of making these rewards a bit more interesting. I'll reveal the exact percentage allocation on Christmas when the nominations are over. I wish all the very best for you to remain ahead of him. I'm really enjoying your tussle with your pod partner.
I don't want grayruby to win either.
reply
I want you to win...a lesser amount than I win.
reply
Time will tell who wins. But @grayruby seems on course to be nominated under two categories - stacker of the year and territory of the year.
You too is on course to make it for the Stacker of the year and you're definitely making your case stronger to be nominated for THE TROLLER OF THE YEAR.
reply
I would be deeply disappointed in my fellow stackers, if I'm the best troller around. I try very hard not to engage in such behavior.
reply
The trolling you do brings fun and is positive so I'd be happy if you win.
There are a few others whose trolling is all about hatred.

reply
Thanks for participating. Great picks! The first one for ~meta!

reply
Thanks for participating. Please nominate for the Stacker of the year as well.

~bitcoin_beginners (typing error) and for stacker I will update soon)

alter~native
Most unique and fun

Thanks. Only 1?

Sorry a bit busy today with contract job stuff just jumping on SN here and there. Didn’t read instructions fully.
Books and articles AMA Bitcoin Econ

reply
Thanks for your participation.
Please nominate for STACKER OF THE YEAR as well here #806484
reply
20 sats \ 1 reply \ @BlokchainB 14h
Stacker_Sports Construction_and_Engineering (Shameless plug) Stacker_Stocks (Shameless plug) Lightning Charts_and_numbers
reply
Thanks. Noted. I'll also nominate Stacker_Stocks. That's a great territory.
reply
reply
Thanks. Would you only pick 3? You can pick 5 if you want.
reply
Hands down the best territory going.
We got some fantastic up and coming territories, like Desert Dave's ~Alter_Native
I always enjoyed ~Photography whenever I got out to go and see it, some beautiful pictures there.
And ~Agora was a fantastic idea.
But GR and ~Stacker_Sports are in a league of their own.
reply
Thanks. Would you only nominate 4?
reply
Yep, they're probably the only 4 I manage to get out and see 🤣🤣
reply
You should also nominate ~music and why not? This is the most you visit. There's no limitation that you can't choose your own territory.
reply
Can't vote for yourself really can you? The hubris would be bordering on arrogance. Personally I think it's bad form to vote for yourself. I'm honoured by all the votes I've received so far, and I'm proud of how far ~music has come. But I can't in good conscience vote for my own territory.
reply
0 sats \ 0 replies \ @AG 15 Dec
And ~Agora was a fantastic idea.
Why "was"?
reply
reply
You should revive askSN or ask k00b if he will sell you Meta.
reply
@k00b I’ll buy ~meta for 100k sats. I already told @grayruby I was thinking of making a ~meta21 just to lower the post cost to 21 sats from 202 sats. A 10x savings!
I’ve got my 100k sats I could revive AskSN
reply
No one wants your watered down meta. 100k sats. What an insulting offer.
If k00b is in the market to sell his territories we should have an auction for bitcoin. I will start the bidding at 6.9M sats.
reply
Insulting?!
How much are territories worth?? Hmmm
reply
Well it is 3M to buy a territory outright right now so if you want to buy Meta I would think 3M would be the starting point unless you are offering 100k to license meta and pay 100k a month rent.
reply
Yes let’s say that’s what I meant 😅
reply
Nominate ~BooksAndArticles by @siggy47 for territory of the year. Has the content that first got me hooked!
reply
Don't forget to nominate your preferred "ASSMILKER OF THE YEAR" 2024
