Of interest, Hubski is sitting at 45000 bits atm. However, there was one whale involved.

What I am cool with is making something that lasts that wouldn't have otherwise existed. I'd really like to be able to pay the people that work on it too.

I didn't expect that user revenue would ever be much more than the occasional sandwich, but that's because there just isn't that much to go around. It was intended as a gesture, and the ability to involve the users in an interesting way that stays alive. I don't want to beg like Jimmy Wales. It's funny, gaming Hubski for bits is just a terrible value proposition. I am also a fan of selective sharing pressure. IMO it is a important factor in the health of the site.

Goddamn it I had really good content here that your tightrope walking priest ate.

Here's your bug: if I'm writing a comment and someone else clicks on the wheel, I get a 502. Every time.

I know, it's our worst bug. But, we may have just improved this significantly.
