It's hard to find the real ones. We have to fly them in.

okay, new saloon should get posted tomorrow per the usual

This was a bug. I'm sorry for not being clear.

To explain further, this wasn't us consciously deleting your profile image because we retroactively charged you for them or something. I had to change the code that was meant to exclude profile images from requiring a payment, and made a mistake.

Anyone know a woman I can try these on? Or just a woman?

Looks like such a blast!

I often wonder if being a woman in bitcoin is like being a male cheerleader.

without more details it's hard to price. but the right amount of incentive is just enough to get the results that you want.

I'd start small, then increase when it becomes clear the small incentives are preventing results.

imo the only thing Core v30 did give people desperate to start a coup a poor excuse to start one.

You might feel like a coup is necessary too which is cool. I think coups are good for bitcoin. I'm not part of this coup though.

yes. have poor taste -> make pleb slop -> yum, and it was so easy that i feel great about myself, other people will love it -> attempt to share your pride

Too much pleb slop to wade through. False dichotomy too; the Lose-Lose is two branches the llm prompter cherrypicks. The right thing to question is the premise, ie "something needs to be done, bitcoin needs saving."

Let Bitcoin's Karens create Bitcoin Karen, join them or not, and carry on.

If you are satisfied by policy changes, help out libbitcoinkernel or not, and carry on.

Yes. Fortunately, this bug is isolated to threads over 200 comments.

yo mama so fat, she thinks soft forks are for soft food

yo mama so crazy, she could sybil attack bitcoin without a computer

yo mama so old, when asked for proof of work she presents her latest paystub

I'm honored tbh. Also doesn't the middle curve mean we're popular?

Rewards will change with these other changes.

The rewards pool is the only direct incentive for zapping that we have. We're thinking of making the rewards pool only go to zappers again.

Most people do not zap absent direct incentives. Signal cannot be distilled without zaps. More zaps, more signal. If the rewards pool can incentivize more zaps, it's worth keeping.

Most of this is up in the air. I'll try to create a discussion at some point and get everyone's thoughts.

are you a cowboy?

Currently, downzaps go 70% to the territory founder, 30% to the rewards pool.

This is pretty misaligned because the territory founder is paid for attracting bad content in a way. We plan on making 100% go to the rewards pool which is better. I'm not sure if the downzap proceeds going to SN is better than that. The rewards pool kind of allows incentives to diffuse.

For No Trust November, this will change. I'm thinking outlawed = downsats == max(1000, 0.3 * upsats). 0.3 * upsats is because it's the sybil fee paid for the upsats so far. I'm also thinking we allow downzaps to decrement the displayed sats awarded to a post so that they also convey a social signal.

Boosts will similarly be changed so that the effect is identical to a self-zap from a sockpuppet, ie boost of 30 sats will be equivalent to a 100 sat zap from another account. Boost will still allow for pinning but only for a week. And, when territory founders boost their own posts 100% will go to the rewards pool.

Same and same.

But this is in fact ridiculous. I wish they'd hurry up and save bitcoin, so we can get to the 'find out' part and stop all the squealing.
