Still assmilking with these crap awards?
Too many bitcoin apps donβt let you use vpns.
Bitrefill. What else?
Theory: Dude, is boxing day called boxing day because you box up your christmas decorations?
Reality: "Boxing Day was once a day to donate gifts to those in need, but it has evolved to become a part of Christmas festivities, with many people choosing to shop for deals on Boxing Day"

I was trying to read something in a guide of yours @DarthCoin and the "Substack" gives me this error.
Anyone else having this problem??
Can I access your guides @DarthCoin from another source?
I wonder how you end up in that wrong link.
You realize that is substack.com/about and not darthcoin.substack.com/about
Anyways, I stop updating the substack writing. Only on github now.
guides are migrated to github
https://darth-coin.github.io/
why not https://darthcoin.github.io/ ?
There is a scammer impersonator wondering around and they took the 'darthcoin' alias and use for shitcoineries.
Ah right, your nym on GH is darth-coin
Thank you very much... whenever I read a guide again, I understand it better, or it helps me find topics to continue working on.
A couple programming bounties payable in BTC (Javascript/Typescript, C++) #824500
good luck for those rewards, excellent programming languages you used.
Great work usually involves some self-destruction. I'd guess it only really becomes a problem if you make self-destruction a habit you indulge in it as "leisure."

Self destruction or self improvement?
Both. Sometimes they're the same thing.

Yesterday I zapped a lot and no reward?
It's happened a couple of times.
Thank you for letting me cry here. π
You get rewarded for zapping things other people zap/will zap. The goal is to reward people for making SN better.
Most folks primarily zap people for talking to them, people that compliment them, some banal drama that excites them, or mediocre things that they don't read well enough to realize they are mediocre and/or ai slop.
Wow! That makes perfect sense and I do believe that I've read that somewhere around here or at least the intention.
I get it. It's basically the longest chain is the truth.
Thank you for explaining this.
#825150
Thanks
You replied to the answer. It's not only about how much you zap. It's what you zap (is it so good other people will zap it?) and when (earlier is better).
Maybe we will remove the leaderboard. It seems to be causing a lot of anxiety for folks.
I guess I meet these requirements, but your answer is a bit unclear. Thanks for your help though.
I get what @koob is communicating.
I hope this makes sense.

The great reset!
Letβs get rid of the rewards board and just let the sats do the talking
I'm neutral on the leaderboard, as I'm unaware of the benefits or drawbacks. Any ideas?
Some people like data. Some people don't. I think this is just being transparent.
The data is good I like that but we donβt need to give rewards for using sn? I agree you should get your splits on referral and territory but just for using sn I donβt think itβs needed
I had to read this and think about it. At first I did not agree but now I think you are right. The "lottery" type feeling is no good. At the same time rewarding peoples work is good. I have definitely benefited from the reward.
Now when I do a deep think about it am curious as to the the sats spent verses gain. I think the key here as that by being a reader and not necessarily a writer you can get paid for zapping great content. Thus you are performing a service. Otherwise you are assmilking ( @DarthCoin ) and assmilking has no reward.
One of the original attractions to Stacker News was that you could be rewarded for reading. You are a paid editor and not just a vanity press operator.

Never did.
I think this begrudging "@anon" is referring to old disagreements about deleting content where you mentioned this:
Yeah, I figured as much. No point in litigating it further, my opinions on the topic haven't changed.

Thank you, hopefully I'll get to it later today.
I hope everyone had a great Christmas! My boys are young and I spent the whole day with them building stuff they got. Proof of work = proof of love!
How did your patience level work out?
Did you have to take some breathers? lol
My wife was actually impressed, lol. We build a hydraulic hand that was like 500 pieces, needed oil and water. Yes we had some breaks and went outside in the snow
ah my favourite meme of all
LOL, ainβt it just true!!!

Free from parenting responsibilities today. Had dessert with my ex-student and had fun catching up on her recent happenings. She is going to start up her own organisation based on her lived experiences with cancer. Wow. She was also empathetic to my parenting struggles, assuring me that they are normal because I am altering my identity. Such a succinct and profound truth. I think I will remember these words for time to come.

Thank you for enlivening our Christmas yesterday!
So what?
This is new news? If you were in the military, you should know all about it. They drum it into your head in the most forceful way possible. Also, what to do at certain times of the day for the flag, how to fold and salute it.
As a civilian, I can ignore most of it but to see the fringed flag at school board and city board meetings is a blood boiler.
finally this stuff is becoming common knowledge!
I think we are far from that still. the common man doesn't have a clue, the less common man speaks of sovcit conspiracy theory, and then there's Darth, mo, and few others
i have been calling my boomer friend dumb, stupid, retarded, a coward, etc. for not studying this material, i.e. for not going beyond bitcoin NGU-ism. i repeatedly apologize. last week he finally started paying a little bit more attention.
however, he says "how about u study all this, so that i don't have to, then give me the summary." omfg! i do not mind the research, but maybe i cud get some help or real encouragement?
anyways, now i have an acquaintance who is a battered woman, being genuinely interested in freedom education, so thank God for that at least.
the bitcoin meetup folks are intolerant of my freedom pills collectively, but one-on-one they are willing to listen a little bit. the tiny local so-called "freedom community" - forget it, they are pro-freedom in-name-only.
more pain is required in order for the masses to take action, maybe.
