@Scoresby suggested we give a few-of-a-kind physical prize to long lived cowboys that can't be acquired by other means. Depending on how the print goes, I think they'll be snapback cowboy hats (like a trucker hat and a cowboy hat had a hat baby):
I also did a low volume run of beanies. I made a spec beanie in the past but was disappointed in the size and quality of the beanie itself and the size of the embroidered area. I found a company that prints on Carhartt beanies and is willing to do a big embroidering (and hopefully I can cut the Carhartt label off).
Oh, and a single digit run of embroidered corduroy hats in case the cowboy hats don't pan out:
I am again faced with the dilemma of how to get your merch without doxxing :/
Edit: the beanie is also my preference of these three
You just need to go to Austin to pick it up. You can go in disguise.
My solution for this is to have stuff sent to my wife's work under my business name. I suppose if the sender wanted to work hard enough they could probably figure out who owns the business but I doubt @k00b is that interested in me.
True. That’s a lot of travel for a hat though
Austin also has great strip clubs from what I hear
lol better than the average cities strip clubs?
I don’t actually know lol
Also we have queso, bbq, and bats. That’s about it though
I have been before and liked it. Just not sure when I’ll be back
That'd be a nice problem to solve. Maybe some kind of dead drop or a UPS store somewhere you're going to be very briefly.
Both of those could work if planned sufficiently well
PO Box won't work?
Those require identification to rent, AFAIK. But I guess it would obscure identity from k00b
Damn, the Feds really got good at making sick merch :( @k00b
I definitely need an SN beanie for the cold Canadian winter.
ay!
request for a "SN" beanie in lightning font, instead of the full stacker news...
I shall really have to have a chat with my AI Agent to not be such a leaky lil bish; I was working on a plan for SN AI merch last night. lol.
ohhh curious what kind of merch an AI would suggest
I tried using ChatGPT to help come up with ideas once. My favorite among them was a refillable/disposable lighter and a candle. I wanted something that was kind of social and would get lost kind of like a pen - hence the lighter. A bit basic though.
It'd be cool to do something like the Debt Badge but with sats stacked on SN or something.
I'm mostly bs-ing because I don't use an agent, but yes.
Love the debt badge idea.
Will the big yellow hat become available?
It’ll go to the person that outspends me on SN
over what time period?
All time
Now that is gonna take some doing
I need a Stacker News taser
ZAP
Now there's an idea!
a trucker cowboy hat is as based as it gets
All hats are 🔥 idk if its the letters the colors
Wiz knows
view on www.youtube.com🤣 my cousin loved this song growing up
so many diamonds on my watch I couldn't tell from what time this song is
you smile for the cameras
view on youtu.beThese are all suhweeet
I’ll take a beanie! If I can of course!
one will have your name on it (metaphorically)
beanie is 🔥 how do i get one
not sure yet. that's the hard part
I only need the Cowboy hat...nothing else.
I’ll go for the beanie forsure. Also I think stickers would be great. Some with QR codes and some not.
we have stickers! they are pretty basic rectangles
Well can I give you sats for some?
I can't mail them is the problem. If you come by my office in Austin I'll give you a hat and sticker for free though
In that case the list of reasons for an Austin trip has expanded. I’ve gotta get there! I want to play poker at The Lodge, spend a bunch of sats, take a Waymo, eat a huge plate of bbq, and now see the studio !
