I've been watching the evolution of Warpcast Rewards with interest, of course.

They have more resources and talent to bring to bear on the problem(s) of gamable rewards, and are building in public. I expect they will succeed.

SassyHash Rewards will take an orthogonal approach, and not the one you might expect. (I don't think my project is thiccc enough for GG's diagrams to work.) But am excited to throw money at it, and take a unique shot on goal. SoonTM.

In the meantime, what would make https://sassyhash.artlu.xyz/leaderboard more useful for you as a competitor?

"moderator" may be a confusing term. I might change the name to SassyMod 🕵️‍♀️. These are the 12 channel owners who opted their channels into SassyHash 💅 ~4 months ago. Well, 11 plus @christin who owns /bcbhshow and I opted it in.

I strongly believe in retroactive proof of alignment + permissionless benefits + a system that works if mods are lazy.

Users can kiss up and try to bribe the SassyMods 🕵️‍♀️. I don't care what happens in the dark. The game will be robust, in part because I have such a range of early adopters who can never collude because of your personalities 😹 

The reward money will come from one of my ENS. I think if this contest works to produce and highlight interesting content, fully-disclosed sponsorship could be interesting. But it's gotta be interesting first

This is getting interesting! So the metrics you are using are mod likes + unique views of encoded Sassy hash by users?

Does "liked by moderator" mean mods from the channel the cast was made in, or just any Farcaster channel mod in general?

And you know I have to ask 😂 where is the reward money coming from?

the goal is to drive usage (just like Warpcast Rewards). I want interesting casts, don't care if anyone thinks it's spam or not.

The SassyHash 💅 website now shows all the criteria. If you open the Rewards 🏆  page now in mobile (via browser, not in Frame!), you should see a login button.

Once you are logged in, the leaderboard allows you to decode each cast you have permission to read. Including all of your own casts, whether they are top 10 or not.

Top 10 casts will share in the rewards pool. But only those that have gotten enough likes from the moderators.

The moderators are the 12 users who had previously enabled their channels for SassyHash 💅 (visible on the web site). This includes:

FID 1-10k: 5 users
10k-200k: 5 users
200k+: 2 users

I think it's a great alternative to the existing WC. But not only that, maybe you can develop your own "algorithm". If the idea is to reward good content, so be it.

If the idea is to reward memes, so be it.

If the idea is to reward junk content, great, so be it.

I think the most important thing is that the user can be genuine, with whatever they have to share!

Hard problem: designing an algorithm that rewards users with money while being open-source and fully transparent in how it operates. Claiming it will be exploited if made public is just an excuse for not addressing the real challenge

dang. I was gonna fake it, but now that you called it out I'm gonna pre-publish the algo, giving the farmers a chance to take money from deserving users!

yeah, I am hoping that will just sort out by itself with volume (lazy engineering). But I have a job that cleans it up occasionally

it looks very feature complete on the leaderboard, the only thing i found confusing was that the cast in #10 spot right now doesnt contain a sassyhash but has a sassyhash reply to it?

i like that it shows how they're valued, also a very interesting game
