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!

@k00b @ek I think I might have found something odd.

When sorting posts on the homepage by "random" the zap animation doesn't show, the little bolt next to the title remains grey. I can watch my sats go down, but the post sats don't seem to go up. Only noticed it when sorting by "Random" top, recent, hot all seems to work as expected.

Cheers.

Considering moving in with the In Laws again.

They're pretty much welcoming us with open arms. But her parents are controlling and I'm not sure if I would like it there. Might be good for my wife to be around family during her first pregnancy though, and the neighborhood is safer, and since I'm working 2 jobs now she might be less lonely if we were there.

I'm thinking, is it only strange ideological notions that are holding me back from stacking more sats and ensuring my wife is more comfortable and attended to during the pregnancy?

American hodl got made fun of for selling his car and riding a moped instead of selling his 10 bitcoin. I've felt looked down on, and down in the dumps for a decent part of my bitcoin journey, why don't I just crank that notch up a few more degrees in order to stack more sats? Why not endure a bit more doubt and shame and guilt. Am I not bullish enough, anon?

not bullish enough

Duly noted.

Not strange or ideological. There are objective benefits to having your own domain like the ability to curate your space free from influence, familiar or otherwise. That being said,

Might be good for my wife to be around family during her first pregnancy though, and the neighborhood is safer, and since I'm working 2 jobs now she might be less lonely if we were there.

makes this a no-brainer. La familia es todo.

May you and your wife establish boundaries and present a unified front to the controlling parents. I'm sure they are well-intended.

Thanks for the advice!

Thanks for being a great example.

Hey well done on this! Have you done some incline / decline variation yet?

Thanks :) Yes, not every day, but sometimes. Pike pushups are one of my favorites (working towards being able to do a handstand pushup)

Yeah, I still struggle getting the balance right initially, but when I do, I'm able to stay there for 10-20 secs (sometimes a bit longer)

If you're just withdrawing, go to credits.

reply

Hey @k00b @ek here is an interesting one for you.

When you scroll over the sats on Siggy's post #836419 it says zero sats and I see (200 CC's) from me but I didn't have 200 CC's in my SN wallet and I checked my attached wallet and it showed the sats being zapped.

Is it because it has a forward?

reply
80 sats \ 2 replies \ @k00b 4 Jan

Yes, I forgot to mention this. Forward posts can only receive CCs currently, because we can't do a 3-or-more non-custodial split on lightning.

For non-custodial zaps, it's a two-way split to SN and the OP which is already fairly "cutting-edge" for lack of a better term.

I think we will eventually make these work with real sats, but in the background we'll need to do an independent zap for each forward and one for the OP.

Good to know. Nice catch, @grayruby. All these little quirks should be collected in a post until we all become more experienced with cc's

He wasn't able to receive sats for some reason so he received CCs, that's what you see.

Since you didn't have CCs, it used sats on your end.

reply

I see. Could he not receive sats due to the forward?

reply
40 sats \ 3 replies \ @ek 4 Jan

Ohh, right. Forwards always use CCs because we cannot split payments to multiple receivers on the lightning network. This makes us very sad but it's a limitation of the lightning network. Maybe this will change but I am not aware of any ideas how to fix this that don't require some intermediate custody of funds.

The only way to do this with the tech as it is, is to do an independent zap per forward in the background ... basically it'd require its own paid action and its own special retry logic.

People are not angry because it is their mission to destroy western civilization literally and figuratively

The wavlake integration is giving me dificulty, but at least i'm not having api problems anymore.

Gotta let it rest for today, but It would be great if I finally cracked the wavlake puzzle and smoothed out the UI tomorrow. I'm anticipating a good coding today on monday as well. Tuesday through Friday will hopefully be spent running and noting bugs and improvements.

Good times.

A question regarding zapping sats and receiving CCs   This is the case: I have connected both receiving and sending wallets. I also have CCs on my balance. Let’s say I have 20 sats on my external wallet and 20 CCs on the internal wallet. And I want to zap a post 20 sats, but the other stacker hasn’t connected a receiving wallet and he will receive 20 CCs. In this case, after zapping I will have 20 sats and 0 CCs or 0 sats and 20 CCs? I mean, my 20 sats I zapped will be converted into 20 CCs or I will send him directly 20 CCs when he has not connected a external wallet?  

reply

What they've said is that CC will be used first whenever possible, unless both parties have attached wallets with good routes etc.

reply

That's great! I had not understand that.

I posted a bounty for a RSS feed solution: #836342

reply

Good morning stackers. Interesting to see all the complaining on the rewards. Why do the rewards matter so much? I just took some quality time to read this post:#836122 This is another one that popped up. #836081 Reading and understanding the situation may be important so you know where to put your quality zaps.

reply

They don’t matter to me. After the last year March Madness, or how it was called, I realized they are not worth the effort at all. I prefer to spend my time with kids and family, by doing my stuff, reading a book, whatever, rather than chasing rewards, cowboys hats and what not.

Anyways, one can still have ~1000 sats for one dollar these days.

reply

Its not just about the rewards. Its about the keeping this site clean. The principle of promoting good content is important.

reply

Attention, stackers! As you may know, the so-called "assmilkers" are feeling hurt over Cowboy Credits and are now working overtime to game the system. Just take a look at how they’re zapping each other on the Fun Fact Friday bounty post here: #835161 (check those 100+ zapped posts). Here's my earlier warning about their tactics: #830369.

If you want to hunt assmilkers, just focus on bounty posts. These rats will always be found there. You can spot them by noticing unfamiliar nyms whose only contributions are Monday memes and Friday fun facts. After the bounty program, they’ll linger for hours, waiting for posts to lose traction, and then start their assmilking game. They plan carefully, deciding which account should win without drawing attention.

Let’s keep things fair—please zap only those who genuinely deserve it. Let’s not give these folks what they’re after! MAKE THEM PAY!

yes, I think is too much 10k sats for a copied/stolen meme. I barely see any new worked meme, just recycled ones. WTF is going on? People don't have anymore imagination, creativity and humor ?

reply

It was you who said that those things are rigged anyway, or?

reply

I love memes, but I like to see creativity and some proof of work. Even e slight change in the original meme, when is posted in a certain context it can be explosive and is a nice feeling to give some sats for it as a V4V.

I post memes in the monday meme contest, but I always try to make my own memes, most of the time "darth theme" and with a specific message. Yes sometimes I post old memes but even then, I try to modify them a bit, sending my own message. If I post a stolen meme, at least I add the credits.
