I was browsing the site analytics, trying to figure out the "total volume" of sats on this platform. @koob is there a place to see this number?
I found this post via search
#35583
but it had an outdated link. Digging around the site I found
https://stacker.news/users/forever
but it only has weekly and monthly data, not total data. I guess I could add up all the months manually.
Difficult to quantify, because what about people who deposit their own sats and gift to their own accounts? I saw someone tip themselves like a million sats once.
Anyway, of actual different people between eachother? Maybe 5-10 million if I had to guess. Altogether including between the same person? Probably 20 million sats
I believe the number is over 25 million sats, but good idea to make it more visible
another way maybe use the data in this page: https://stacker.news/top/users?when=forever

yeah lack of transparency on this subject from stacker news. and what is the formula for giving sats to users? how does sn determine how many to give to whom?
This has been explained before, it's a combination of a few things, how early you tipped a post that blew up, how much you tipped, how much trust you have as a user. Etc
It's open source, you can check the current algo on github.
This is the highest tipped post in here at 1.5M sats:
#59734
And this is the second highest tipped post in here at 1M sats:
#12115
Here are the rest:

And this is for comments:

The top at 1.1M:
#60020
A lot
I was wondering this as well
I would think at least 25-30M
Related: does SN have one node? Two? More? This would be an interesting fact
Dunno, but here’s a couple more to circulation.
Also, sats.get();
Is this the main section of the stacker news algorithm?
