Howdy there, partner! Welcome on into the Stacker Saloon.
Saddle on up to a stool and spill the beans about your day, fire away with them questions, or let loose and give us the lowdown on your wild and woolly life. We're all ears, so don't hold back!
We're open round the clock, so mosey on in whenever you please!
Is there a single nice article that would explain how Cowboy Credits work (with a nice diagram :) ), maybe with example to show the conditions when CCs are used and when sats are used?
Shouldn't it be linked from FAQ and from the /credits page? I tried checking these usual spots, but I didn't find any good description. I saw the "What happens to the sats in my SN wallet on Nov. 5th? ... Nothing." post, but that doesn't really explain how it works and why it's good & needed.
@k00b @ek :)
Oh wow, I think some visualization would indeed help. Big oversight on our end!
Updating FAQ is on my list for the next 24 hours.
My plan is to rewrite the FAQ in the braindead[1] way I wrote the Jan. 3 FAQ. You should still add your changes to it. I'll probably end up remixing most of what's there.
I mean braindead in the sense that it's effective because it assumes a low effort reader, not that the reader is dumb. β©

It's now only rank 1 to 4 that get most rewards and below I can see a huge difference.
π€ CC: @k00b @ek
Rewards are given based on proportion of value so are nonlinear and likely fit a power law.
Power law π
There was already so much power law applied. When more value stackers zap the content that goes up and bags more attention churning more rewards.
I see what you're upto.
Creating an empire for yourself, where you're the king.
Anyways King is King π! And always right!!
where is this from?

Are you seeing an uptick in stuff being sold?
cannot say is an uptick. It's pretty random, ups and downs, that's why we are posting here in the saloon more often
RIP SN
I feel like this CC thing is like when they replaced gold with paper money.
Here we see something similar to the real world, good money and bad money... obviously we can use the bad money (Cc) for expenses and small things, but we will look for storage priority for the good money (SATS).
In the case of SN, use your (Cc) for your comments, publication fees and some generic Zap. and the ***(SATS)***β‘ you will use them when something or someone really brings you value. and you will receive them when your work or comments bring value to another. and this other person makes you a real Zap β‘. And at the company level, SN no longer handles third-party funds. Only some (Cc) that are something fictitious that only has value within the platform. At the regulatory level, they will no longer bother you for using bitcoin. Here, Bitcoin will circulate between individuals in a P2P way without the intervention or management of SN.
And on the other hand, I think that the use of (Cc) is good, because that will scare away the Assmillkers who only come here to collect SATS. without any real contribution.
I think that with this update we will now see more clearly the Philosophy of VxV
Nah, it's more like when you can't be bothered to store your own gold, you use paper money.
Sorry, I haven't adjusted yet, it's only been a few hours since the change. I'll understand and adapt soon.
My first 2025 failure. After trying an honest effort my skills and education arenβt good enough to break into the chaincode BOSS class. At least I know I wonβt be wasting their time with my stupidity.
No way Iβm going to complete this task before the end of the day.
The test seems reasonable:
But Iβm stuck on number one!! π build from source? Does than mean downloading the file from Bitcoin core?
If I figured out #1 I think I can do #2 the repo makes it clear on how to test in command line
But 3 and 4 I have zero clue on. I never pushed a branch of code of anything!
So itβs clear this program is for experienced developers and not fly by night guys who post construction news on stacker news.
Maybe one day Iβll make into this program but today ainβt that day. I am at peace.
Another way to look at it: now you understand table stakes for a thing you wanted to do. You have a year (?) to get ready, if you still want to do it, and the path is laid out. Pretty cool.
Yeah. Iβm not going to stress myself out. I only have so much time in a day after slaving in the fiat mine. But my approach will be simple
If I can accomplish these two simple small goals then Iβll try for boss again in Dec. 2025
@ek @k00b
Another problem. I tried to create a post in sports. It prompted me to pay an invoice instead of pulling from my attached wallet. I tried to pay it with my Breez wallet which is showing paid but did seem to register on SN as it is still showing pending.
Update it went through after all.
Just an fyi.
Thanks
Why does someone need to buy cowboy credits?
No one needs to.
I did :)
The fees by Blink Wallet is just unaffordable?
Any suggestions?
Coinos #694593
Buy CCs to use them on fees or use a different wallet
If you have CCs on the balance, are they used automatically on fees?

According to the leaderboard, I should have received 7 sats, but I haven't gotten anything or a notification. @k00b @ek
now stacked 70 (7+63) i know where 63 came from, but the other 7 are a mystery. Something's gotta be wrong somewhere
Hey stackers, just here to remember you that every sat you stack, every conversation you have about Bitcoin, every time you educate someone on what true financial sovereignty means, you're sending a clear and direct message to the system: "You donβt control me. I donβt belong to you. I am free" Fiat money is just a lie, a sham that crumbles once we realize it has no foundation, but really matters is right here, in every sat we stack. Each of us has the power to rewrite the rules, to build something beyond their reach. We're taking control of our own economy, and every step we take brings us closer to a future where we donβt rely on them, where freedom is not a luxury, but a right. So keep stacking, keep educating, keep fighting. It's not just about money, it's about a radical shift in the way we see ourselves :)
Have you connected your external wallet to SN yet?
I just attached the wallet, check it out. Can you zap me up to confirm? I sent you 50 on your comment.
Guys, just imagine how much the devs and k00b must be sweating since CCs have come out. Just waiting for something to go wrong. lol
I don't think the "wrong" will happen on the SN side, but more on the users side. SN did the transition very smooth and nice without any interruption and I am not worried about how SN will handle the zaps. The problems will start on the users side.
I know. I am waiting for all the complaints, and it being user error.
Why? π
Nothing is perfect the first time.
I got some of my first ccs.
Me too!
There will always be teething pains. Im sure SN will get through them.
Let the show begins... ...aaaand the first issue after "CC era" is ... notification page is broken: https://stacker.news/notifications
btw I should make a meme now with "spend you CCs wisely" hahahahaha
Haha I havent attached a wallet yet. I want to see how everything goes.
Please someone send me some CCs for Sats. ;)
They will throw their silver into the streets, and their gold will be treated as a thing unclean. Their silver and gold will not be able to deliver them in the day of the LORDβs wrath. It will not satisfy their hunger or fill their stomachs, for it has caused them to stumble into sin.
Ezekiel 7:19
They will throw their sats into the predyx bets, and their BTC will be treated as a thing unclean. Their sats and BTC will not be able to deliver them in the day of the SNβs wrath (Jan 3rd). It will not satisfy their hunger or fill their stomachs (from assmilking), for it has caused them to stumble into sin.

Means you already voted, but for some reason the client thought you didn't so it let you try again.
I've seen that before but haven't been able to recreate and thought I fixed it. I'll look at it again today.
What bout this one when zapping just now:
My new revolver arrived just in time for the new SN era with the CCs. Whether I'll need a horse remains to be seen π€
Hmmm now SN says
β23 sats were ZAPPED to your Walletβ
I'm debating if I should set my SN zap amount to 100 and keep my nostr zap amount to 10. I'm definitely zapping more on Nostr than SN, but higher zap amounts seem to work better over here.

Ah itβs a freaky Friday! First of the year time to attack it relentlessly!
Hoooollly shit! The latest Silo episode 8 is a fucking bomb!
The whole seasons been really good, Is this next episode the finale?
Dune has been a bit rough around the edges, but i'm still watching.
And just started watching Severed with the wife, the humor is super dry but its pretty interesting.
You mean Severance ? Yes will start watching tonight the season 2.

SN go noncustodial today... hope to route those zaps :), more LN use but a hard learning curve to NPC.
funny enough... that "non-custodial" is in fact custodial when 90% people using coinos and other custodial accounts. I really do not understand what part of this is "non-custodial", is just a way to throw the dead cat into other's yard....
Happy January

Happy proof of keys!
Stackers take the time today to check your wallet setups and back ups.
Restore now. Practice. Review your seed words. Make sure they are correct
