Baby Stacker Corner #0Baby Stacker Corner #0

Yooo! Appreciate the shout out bud. So cool to get some attention from the OG's (I assume og). So, names Seth, 36m, professional painter of cranes hence the alcohol n acetone handle haha.

I came here when I seen SN in my alby hub and remembered hearing about Stacker on and off outside of the realm, always good things. I am not disappointed and this community is one of a kind indeed. Real conversation, you can really feel the human element behind every post and comment. You guys have been amazing so far.

"Onboarding" haha was easy other than having some issues figuring out how to log-in with lightning but it's not imperative. As for seeing how my fellow newbies are doing, some of those guy are really putting the time in here and that's inspiring to see. Thank you again for the opportunity to introduce ourselves ek. Happy new year!!

Hey. I'd heard of SN quite a while ago, I think via one of @TheGuySwann podcasts , and had been meaning to check in and see what it was all about. I also was reminded of it when I was setting up Alby Hub for zaps on Nostr.

Initial onboarding, particularly with the NWC lighting wallet was a little clunky, but not terrible.

So far my interactions have been great, and I'm glad to be here.

I stated in my bio that I had been a long time lurker, but I actually can't recall where I heard about SN. It must have been a bitcoin/LN guide that I clicked a link for from somewhere.

Signing up was easy using login with lightning and I already had sats ready to use. What got me to finally make an account was because I wanted to test NWC with Alby Hub and SN was the app I wanted to try with most.

There was some confusion with sending credentials with NWC, which was answered here (#821817). I was also confused that the sats amounts received by my wallet was lower than the zapped amount but I was able to find an answer here (#692153). Once I understood the purpose of fees, seeing how well my first post was received, and receiving some sats from the rewards pool, I was able to understand the sats flow and see how it promotes good posting. Now I wish I signed up earlier and been an active user because you don't really grasp the economics and the power of SN fully as a lurker.

I just joined SN today. Thanks for this post and the lovely opportunity to express our stories. I have always loved writing. I have written short stories, articles. I am software developer by profession. 30m. Love organic chemistry, mathematics, chess, spirituality and philosophy. Of late I was feeling like I am not getting any value for the energy I spent on writing. And then I started researching ways to feel more valued for writing. One of the most obvious ways was to monetize writing in some way. And I came across some advice such as write short content on social media, then create a newsletter to elaborate the short form content and also farm the emails of people interested, and then sell them a product/service.

All this seemed too long-winded and didn’t necessarily make feel like writing for the joy of writing. I have over the years been collecting SATS. And today it struck me if there was some place to write and earn some SATS. That way I feel the joy of writing, also feel valued with the return on investment such as SATS ! And after a quick search I found StackerNews ! And regarding onboarding the concept and ethos feels quite straightforward, which is to write interesting and engaging content and earn SATS. Still yet to receive my first few SATS here.

This is a great idea! Has anyone proposed doing something like this before?

Some of those nyms are familiar, but I haven't had much interaction with them yet (excepting the various aliases of Dave).

@ek wao when I deployed the list and saw my user @Miranda I said wow, hahaha it would certainly be good to add all that information to the bio or interact more that way I think it enriches more the platform right now is my favorite, I sit at my computer to do my daily tasks and do not overlook my hours in SN seeing post and commenting on that topic my opinion, I really knew this platform through a colleague and his referral, already with enough experience in the bitcoin, and I have been impressed with it. Today I can say that being a stacker in SN is an incredible experience. thanks for sharing, sats for everyone.

in fact excellent idea to welcome new users and give them also a support about SN and how through LN you can receive their sats, plus tutorials about all this universe. and so is also educational which by the way is, just moderating new users or set a top topic on a step by step in the SN. for new entries. Super Cool.

Me looking at the table and seeing my absolute colossus stats, while knowing I have contributed absolutely nothing of value to any discussion.

Great idea, @ek. I like the idea of a quasi-cohort.

Some of these guys have come in super hot! That's an impressive sats / items count on a number of them.

Hopefully some more newbs will respond to your questions!

I like getting zapped 1000 sats immediately that’s my favorite, but not all are as generous as @grayruby

Wow, you were so humble that I didn't realize you work here on Stacker News. I thought you were just another user. Thanks for the Sats it helped. 20 sats are more than enough to get started. I really appreciate your help @ek 🙏

I prefer to let the new ones show their true face... after few posts they always show that face.

Just because are new it doesn't mean we have to start kissing their ass and throw with shit tons of sats on them, just like that.

@remindme in 2 months how many of these are still bitcoiners

im always interested to see in my SN updates that i referred someone when i have never shilled SN anywhere or even shared a link. I am going to start active shilling i think, people languishing on reddit when they could be here

Excellent initiative @ek, we must support the little grasshoppers 🦗 who are new to SN. so that they can observe "Value for Value" and migrate from the Normie world to the world of "VxV.", that is, to the Bitcoin world. And there is no better place to practice value for value than here at SN.

Hey! Thanks for the shoutout and the warm welcome. I heard about SN through a couple of Bitcoin maxis who gave me a hat and told me about it. I love to write and thought this might be an enjoyable outlet to write articles rather than social media posts, newsletters, blogs, etc. I am going to let the direction my work takes me evolve organically but I like to write about Bitcoin, orange-pilling, and dating in Bitcoin. I am an NBA fan too, so some basketball might find its way into the writing.
