I stumbled upon Stacker News by chance. I first came across this post https://www.publish0x.com/the-cryptorunner/stacker-news-a-lightning-network-forum-that-pays-you-in-btc-xelwyvv while browsing the internet, and it eventually led me here.
I’m not new to Bitcoin. I already have a basic understanding of how it works. I clicked on the “wallets” section in the menu and saw a list of different options. I chose a custodial Lightning wallet and connected it. It was pretty straightforward.
P.S. How does it work here? Do I have to tip sats every time someone comments on my post?
You don't have to tip but it is customary if you like the comment/post to tip some sats. You do have to pay to post and comment. Each territory founder sets the sats price to post and comment. I run the sports territory. It is 69 sats to post and 2 sats to comment. Looks like AMA where you posted is 30 sats to post and 1 sat to comment. There is an escalator to root out spam so you can only post once per 10 minutes or you will pay 10x the posting fee but there is no penalty for comments as long as you are replying to someone.
It is news to me that posting in quick succession is more expensive, I thought it was 10x when you replied to yourself or more than once to the same parent comment.
Edit: Investigating this, it seems that it would cost 10 sats to reply to myself or to your post again, but only 1 sat to reply to Katerina above.
Posts and comments 10x if:
- you reply to yourself within 10 minutes (unless you are OP, then you're exempt)
- you reply at the same level within 10 minutes
- you post after already posting within 10 minutes
For replies/posts that are >1 sats, there's an i on the button that shows a cost breakdown, including any 10x fees.
Welcome. How did you find Stacker News?
