Welcome to this week’s newsletter.

This is the final edition of the year, so it’s a good time to reflect on the first year of the territory, and plan for the future. I plan to publish a “Best Of The Year” type post soon. I am looking forward to the promised new SN territory tools which should be available before too long. I would like to experiment and try to make this place a better resource, while giving talented, motivated teachers an opportunity to earn a few sats.

In the meantime… Happy New Year!

Thanks to everyone who contributed, and have a good week.

Top 5 Posts Of The WeekTop 5 Posts Of The Week

There will be a zap award for the top 5 posts weekly. It will be broken down as follows:

  1. 1000 sats (or higher if threshold is met)
  2. 250 sats (or higher if threshold is met)
  3. 250 sats (or higher if threshold is met)
  4. 250 sats (or higher if threshold is met)
  5. 250 sats (or higher if threshold is met)

Average daily territory income this week: Below threshold

Threshold: 2000

Therefore, the awards will will not be boosted this week.

Posts will be judged using SN zaprank. The cut off time is 9:00am EST (1300GMT) Friday morning. I will post the top 5 winners shortly after 9:00am every Friday morning.

I reserve the right to not award any sats for the week. I also reserve the right to deny sat awards to bare link posts. I recognize that link posts can be valuable, so I will only only exercise discretion for low quality links that garner few sats or engagement from stackers.

DarthCoin’s GuidesDarthCoin’s Guides

DarthCoin is a somewhat controversial figure with a manner that may take some getting used to, but I think his guides are excellent as step by step instruction. The sentence structure might be unconventional, and he may express some strong opinions, but you will learn what he has set out to teach you. Here is a link to DarthCoin’s Substack Page, where you can find all of DarthCoin’s guides: https://darthcoin.substack.com/

@Rexdentron has created a comprehensive ecosystem map. I believe he intends to keep this list updated Beginners will benefit from checking it out, as will experienced bitcoiners.

Why Bitcoin Only is a massive trove of links, where you can find just about anything you’re looking for. It’s also fun to browse around.

Top Posts Of All TimeTop Posts Of All Time

Here you will find a few of the top posts that have been posted to this territory. I am not going to adhere to a rigid zaprank system, since my purpose is to highlight content that has educational value. I will use an informal combination of zaprank and my own evaluation. For instance, some posts, though of high quality, are solely about Stacker News, and might have more appropriately originated as a meta post.

I give a full endorsement of Bitcoin beginners as the place to go if you have a question or issue. Darth and a couple others helped me solve my Blixt issues, get the pesky channels that were tripping me up closed and my sats moved to on chain. I only lost around 2k sats in the process. Not bad at all.
