Oyster harvest today! It ain't much but it is honest work. After I bagged this up I went around the neighborhood and gave them away.
Just like with giving away tomatoes, half the people I gave them away to offered to give me back some processed mushrooms in return! I hope I actually get some indian mushroom curry!

How do you add files to your creator page? I've added a couple but I am trying to add more and I cannot figure how I did it previously. I have a few pictures that I have already uploaded for usage in random nostr posts that I would like to be on my creator page. It seems like it would be a good UX improvement to have a button to "promote" the image to creator page.
Im sure how to do this is obvious and I am just missing something.

I hope so! The bounty sort of requires having the hardware already in hand or would definitely cover purchasing the hardware with like $200 still in the bounty.
I’m a dev too but once it gets too deep into Linux device drivers and stuff I start to get out of my element.

2024-08-24 05:08:06

I just put up a $250 bounty for some development work.

Still, cherry tomatoes are our favorite. I love going out to the garden every morning and eating a couple.

Yes I really need this for next time! What sort of sucks about the trades is that negotiation and shopping around for pricing is difficult, as each one feels obligated to make a trip to your place to give a quote.

The public ip address is NOT the ip address of the machine that the node is running on, it is going through a VPN tunnel before reaching the node.
This is the first time where I didn't have a bad time with IPv6! First time I actually attempted to use it, and not get around it 😉

I really feel for the people who got laid off from #swan. I was laid off from Voltage about 9 months ago, with a small group of others, in an already small company.
I tried desperately to get another software job at a #bitcoin business, but it is a numbers game stacked against you, particularly because they are remote roles, hundreds of talented people applying for these dream roles. I don't doubt most of them are in it for the bitcoin mission.
Of my small group of fellow co-workers laid off, besides me, all of them stuck through it and found bitcoin jobs. And it is sad that most/all of them have been laid off a second time from bitcoin companies, some from swan, some others.
Now probably the biggest bitcoin/#notcrypto company which was appetizing to idealogical bitcoiners has also done layoffs. They laid off some of the best. Better than me I'd guess 😉
The market for getting a bitcoin job is now even more difficult.
On the other hand, my path was different. I decided to create my own bitcoin adjacent bitcoin company, LightningSpore, because I had the flexibility, and desire to see if I could make it work.
The one benefit I see to this layoff is I hope it seeds the waters with quality talent for many new small businesses to grow. I also hope that some people just go get normie jobs, and have an opportunity to continue stacking sats. A bitcoin job isn't always what it is cracked up to be, sometimes just doing bitcoin for fun is far more meaningful. It is hard to make bitcoin business profitable, and along the way, it often causes you to lose sight of what we are really here for.
Let me know what you think, if you just want to chat about life post-layoff, or whatever. I am hear for you all! Just keep building!

It does objectively suck to post something and get zero feedback.
I may like the photo, but I post it somewhere ONLY to share with others. If no one cares, than the photo can just live on my phone.
I understand the idea of “don’t care what other people think, just do what you love” but I already do that. But I am doing something extra by posting, because I am trying to SHARE what I love.

Zaps are also a more easily gameable metric without web-of-trust also playing a factor.
I could zap you 10k sats and get you into the trending list, and you can send me back 95% using a standard LN transaction.
An interesting sorting metric could also be a binary “zapped or not” + web of trust. I want to know @npub1qny…95gx zapped something because he has high signal, but just because he does giant zaps on the daily doesn’t mean it should overpower 10 people zapping 1 sat.
At least could be an interesting option.
