The half-life of Cowboy Credits is less than two transactions. People are losing their minds over things that turn back into sats almost immediately.

seriously. in real world value people are complaining about $20 bucks max in real life value. get a job or something if you're in a first world country trying to make a living off of SN. I'm here to net spend sats on the community not collect.

Only for people with attached wallets.

No, only 70% of cowboy credits survive each transaction, so after two transactions only 49% survive. The half-life is how long it takes half to decay.

I feel it could have been explained a bit better in the beginning. Because at the end of the day, they eventually get turned into sats. There were big blowups about it over nothing.

I thought k00b did a good job communicating how they work and what they are. There's only so much you can do for people who aren't listening or willfully misunderstanding.

I am working on updating the FAQ. Then everybody can simply point to the section in the FAQ that states once and for all that everybody receives rewards in sats, IT DOES NOT MATTER IF YOU HAVE AN ATTACHED WALLET.

Sorry for all caps. I'll use bold font in the FAQ.

You guys have worked hard and are awesome.

That being said. Generally it is good to have the documentation ready prior or along with a major change.

My only criticism. I don't want to be shouting from the bleachers.

Pretty soon everything will be ironed out. Its only been a few days, the people that actually use SN know what is happening. Thats what is important. All the people that come in to this wont know the before.

It could have been that I wasnt reading it carefully enough. I do remember he said the rewards would come back as sats. At the end of the day, do you care which one you get?

The rewards do come back as sats, don't they?

The 30% that goes to rewards only become sats for people with attached wallets. I would imagine that is most of the reward getters but I don't know what the actual number is. Maybe 1/3 of the 30% stays as CC's and gets distributed.

All rewards are supposed to be sats, even for people without attached wallets. Is that not what's happening?

But they can't receive sats in custodial wallets so they would convert back to cc's for them as far as I know. Unless they are prompted with an invoice to collect their rewards, which would be really cool, but I don't think so.

They can receive rewards sats in their SN wallets and then withdraw them whenever they want. At least that's how k00b described it.

The only thing cowboy credits have done for me is incentivizing zapping more often. I consider it to be a positive if anything.
