what do we think about implementing some algorithm to take into account number of blocks locked for in the ranking
so 1 bsv locked for 100 blocks is less than 0.1 locked for 25000
making rankings change dynamically every block
this prevents a person from claiming the top spot in the feed by locking the minimum amount. instead you must outcompete the highest ranked posts or wait for them to fade away.

It does not matter how many blocks in the future are locked. It just matters how many coins are locked NOW. Just my opinion.
We should seek high lock liquidity - locks changing as fast as information, not immovable locks.
What I am proposing significantly ups the lock liquidity.
Why does coins locked now matter? To who? Would you lock less if the total amount went down?
I like this idea. It would communicate so much more. Because a coin locked for a few days incurs almost no risk - so it means almost nothing. They'll have their coins back in no time.
I wonder if it would be better to score them based on number of blocks left till they unlock, so it gradually degrades over time, or just based on how long it was locked for initially.
what about just bitcoins * blocks = score. then rank according to the score.
1 coin * 1 block = 1 point
0.1 coins * 100 blocks = 10 points
etc
Yes! What you are describing is creating a composite score/index for each lock. We need this

y'all must not have been around for the UX/UI disaster that was vibes.
Amount is the key indicator. only reason we say it can be used to spam with low amount is cause no one uses BSV
Can't do blocks x coins cause some jackass can just lock 1 satoshi for 1 billion blocks to "spam"
[@cryptoacorns] can be solved for by weighting the block amount less than the number of sats. if more people were using bsv this problem would be exacerbated significantly bc the top slot would be taken every 1 min.
if you are looking for views, you are better off having 100 locks of 0.1 and staying on trending.
but if you're looking for top status you do 10bsv in 1 lock and get on top feed. these two ideas should be reconciled instead of two separate games.
That was vibes with log modifier on blocks. But ppl cant process 2 numbers in an UI so we had some non sensical number
