It's called Insightful Bits, and it's a platform where marketers can post ads, market research surveys, or other activities that users participate in, and in exchange they earn Bitcoin rewards for each engagement. A 45 second experience could pay 3,600 sats. A 3 minute survey might pay 11,000. A market research study might be 45 minutes and pay 150,000 sats. It all depends on what the marketer wants to offer to incentivize users. 

This blog highlights the mission. https://insightfulbits.medium.com/better-marketing-through-mutual-value-a-bitcoin-backed-blueprint-f1f22442646

I come from a digital advertising background so I know what advertisers want, and I understand the limitations of the existing advertising options. 

Users would decide which data about themselves they want to include in their profile, and they decide which marketing experiences they want to participate in. So this shifts the power back to the audience to decide the terms on which they’ll engage. 

Marketers will get exponentially better engagement than the 1% they typically get in the digital ad landscape. And they’re rewarding the consumer rather than ad servers. Hundreds of billions is spent each year on digital advertising to stalk users. 

I’d love to get feedback from the Bitcoin community about ways this model could be made even better or more appealing to the audience. 

I’m also looking for talented individuals who have platform development/software engineering experience, and also those who can help build a large audience in a cost effective way. 

The larger the audience, the more advertisers will want to get in on this. Bitcoiners are the coveted 18-50 demographic, they skew higher income, and they’re a growing and influential group. I want to make sure we use this growing power to reshape the dynamics of digital advertising into one that empowers sovereign individuals. 

All feedback, questions, suggestions, or talent welcome as I work on bringing this to fruition!

Also, I welcome all Bitcoiners to join the waitlist. We launch in a few months. https://insightfulbits.com

Stacker News Roundtable #2 - LSPs

I have been staring to test different ways to help expand the number of local individuals running their own lightning nodes near me.  My main goal is to help address some of the common challenges (cost, time, Redundancy).  The end goal would be kind of a uncle Jim for nodes.  (Here is a fully setup node that was made out of no longer used components).

As with any good thing in life, the more you learn the more new questions come up.

1st Topic: I was thinking of taking various old PC (x86) and reinstall them with Umbrel OS or some other lightweight novice OS.  Umbrel  seem to be only made for ARM architects.  I understand I could do a linux install and then run Umbrel on top.  StartOS appears to have a x86 version (https://docs.start9.com/latest/guides/flashing/flashing-x86)

1st Question:  Are there any other x86 Software suites (besides Umbrel and StartOS) the SN users would recommend?

2nd Topic: To help bootstrap new users (to prevent days of downloading blockchain) I had the thought about mirroring the hard drive(ssd) from an already synced node to the new hard drive(ssd).  A problem is several of the apps seem to have randomly generated passwords (ride the lighting, thunderhub,etc..)  which would be copied on a straight mirroring of Hard drive.  

2nd Question: So instead of mirroring SSD which would be quickest: Is syncing from a local node, moving blockchain files manually into correct folder after OS install. or another option?

Thank you in advance for any tips and guidance.

Everyone know about [LNbits Market]() and wondering if in the past months there has been any new development on this area?

Do you know any other Nostr-based (NIP15 specific) marketplace? Looking exclusively at items (digital or IRL) buy/sell marketplaces, excluding [P2P exchanges](https://stacker.news/items/68656/r/02a0eb55b5) and [Bitcoin eanbled](https://darthcoin.substack.com/p/from-where-can-i-get-some-bitcoins#%C2%A7pp-bitcoin-marketplaces-sell-your-stuff-for-bitcoins) ones.

Thanks in advance
