 They are implementing "cowboy credits" to pay for posting and SN items, unless you send and receive peer to peer via your own connected wallet, I'm not versed on it all but I'll leave this here

 I can't still figure out what this all thing means 
 Think of cowboy credits as a gift card for stacker news only 

I assume they're doing this to avoid any custodial liabilities in the future.  
 Thanks, 
cowboy credits, huh, 
I don't like this 🧐  
 I don't either, but its a great way to remove SN from being called a "bank" or "exchange" or "custodial wallet holding users' funds"

Legal protection tbh 
 I see, and that is not a good projected future 
if websites have to be afraid to be considered 'bank'
