So the tiny amount is locked until you reach a certain block height, or some number of blocks into the future, in my case it’s set to 100. A BSV block takes roughly 10 minutes to complete globally—it equates to a block of transactions added to the blockchain by mining nodes. So the sats are locked for 10 minutes x 100 in my case. BSV is perhaps the only blockchain that allows you to lock (or send) fractions of a penny for a certain length of time, which is why metamitya uses BSV, though he also allows people an ordinary thumbs up style upvote (might only be on private threads at the moment, not sure), so you don’t have to use crypto to participate. Locking crypto is equivalent to costly signalling, however, or having some skin in the game, so carries more weight as a signal. I think this place feels better than other places partly because the founder(s) are good and generous people, and they attract similar. Plus deep dives are encouraged by the structure of the threading itself. You needn’t follow down a thread unless it interests you, keeping the user agency and engagement high. Possibly, the more populated the platform becomes the more guarded people will become, but for now, it’s both gloriously contrarian and also free of ridicule and trolling. It may also be because many (most?) of its users hold some BSV that we’re all to some extent on the same page as liberty-minded folks who don’t mind being the unpopular kids in the crypto playground 😉.
