This is brilliant -- the game theory / jostling would be so fun to watch

$69 and $420 should be two of the amounts 

Maybe #69 gets $420 and #420 gets $69

really, not gonna slip in that $69? are we too serious

Just have to crack top 30 once and your farcaster pro is paid off

this is a shift towards wider; the top 230 used to be 3 tiers (10, 20, 200), now the top 280 is 5.5 tiers (2, 7, 20, 50, 100, then half of 200).

there are only a few people who do not 1099 themselves and we would much rather have them donate their winnings to a charity then remove them from the leaderboard.

cc @ted would love to know if the team could shift wider vs funneled. 🫶

First thank you for extending it

Second it’s still is so top-heavy 

Third please remove those who will not be 1099 ing themselves who have hit cap so then the rewards keep flowing down the line vs getting bottlenecked at top. 

Thx

I don’t mean to complain, but from a pure game design perspective, I believe I am not alone in thinking @warpcast Rewards prize tiers need to be on a smoother curve.

The level of engagement baiting and terminal online-ness needed to reach #31 is orders of magnitude more than #230 for the same payout of $25, which makes for some weird PvP dynamics as you approach #30.

This week was a fluke for me due to playing @cryptothegame, so #31 is probably the highest ranking I’ll ever get for a long while.

Very cool, looks like we just have to get into the top 780 to get in the $10 tier now 🔥 GL friends :) let's make sure to share on twitter too and use the pro $ to bring more users.

We are blessed by the magic internet money

Tier 1 and 2 are super bullish and IMO pretty significant amounts.

Love to see continued efforts on making weekly rewards super impactful for the accounts moving the needle the most on engagement!

Wowow! This is crazy work. The 1099s are going to be flying.
