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.

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 braindead¹ 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. ↩

Rewards are given based on proportion of value so are nonlinear and likely fit a power law.

10 sats \ 19 replies \ @IamSINGLE 4 Jan

Power law 👀

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.

Anyways King is King 👑! And always right!!

I feel like this CC thing is like when they replaced gold with paper money.

796 sats \ 0 replies \ @flat24 4 Jan

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)***⚡ 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 ⚡. 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

My first 2025 failure. After trying an honest effort my skills and education aren’t good enough to break into the chaincode BOSS class. At least I know I won’t be wasting their time with my stupidity.

No way I’m going to complete this task before the end of the day.

The test seems reasonable:

Build bitcoin core from the included source
Run the functional tests (all should pass)
Modify the source code such that only one function test fails
Commit your modified code and push your branch to GitHub for automatic evaluation

But I’m stuck on number one!! 😆 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 it’s clear this program is for experienced developers and not fly by night guys who post construction news on stacker news.

Maybe one day I’ll make into this program but today ain’t that day. I am at peace.

Yeah. I’m 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

Take nitynei’s base58 courses
Join plebdevs and see how that works out for guys like myself

If I can accomplish these two simple small goals then I’ll try for boss again in Dec. 2025

124 sats \ 0 replies \ @satoshiplanet 3 Jan

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 don’t control me. I don’t 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 don’t 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 :)

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.
