Just one of those days...

I asked ChatGPT to propose an airbrushed SN tshirt design. I did NOT give it a slogan.

As for the design, the vibe is right but it's a little off. I want edge-to-edge one-of-a-kind-ness. I wonder how hard it would be for me to airbrush shirts myself.

reply

Stencil maybe help to keep design consistency. Otherwise, you risk having each piece as a single piece of art

These two designs are cool! Do you need a printing partner?

How would you explain "earn to stay" to someone?

reply

"stay to earn" better?

reply

I see what you're saying. It's a notion more than anything in my mind: you always have to pay to post, so you either have to earn or spend even more money. PoW keeps you in the black.

Hey @k00b and @ek, is it possible to make a request for an edit after that ten minute period for an article that we’re pretty proud of, yet has some critical flaws? I just noticed that I messed up the placement of my first two footnotes for #1127526 while sharing with someone. I know it’s past the wave of potential sn regulars, but I often times share older sn posts with other folks after the fact if it’s relevant to them. Not a big deal if not, just curious.

reply

glad you posted about it, though, because I missed your article. It's awesome! Definitely going to spend some time with it this evening.

reply

Thanks, for checking it out! Lemme know what you think.

It is not yet possible sadly. You can write a comment to your own post and pin it though which might be sufficient.

I think folks will figure it out. It’s more the typoy element of it that’s bugging me. C’est la vie

howdy all! today I managed to get my gun. finally I figured it out, even though a bit late cause lightning use is suffering in EU due to crypto regulations.

reply

Sometimes I take different routes to reach the same destination, depending on traffic. This also happens with #Lightning. It looks for a route that's good enough to allow the payment to reach its destination, with certain properties like low cost, low latency, and success probability. ⚡️

Someone is doing a @nemo on all their replies. Maybe they will inspire me to submerge once again.

reply

They are trying to manipulate Total items on SN market on Predyx

reply

Is there no better use for time?

reply

Don't know how much free people have got in the world now. It really sucks. I was also on the 'Yes' SN will make it to 1.5 Million items in 2025 but I knew this heck but I can't because it's not worth making 100K to 200k items for hardly a few thousand sats. He will end up earning around 40-50 k sats if others stop trading there.

He has already inflated 15k+ items since yesterday, so definitely a OP Return (with a bang this time!)

He's trying to manipulate the markets on Predyx!

He's constantly making Yes buys on both 1.4 and 1.5 million items markets.

I saw some addresses like that on Twitter the other day. I think they're shitcoin projects. Let me see if I can find them and I'll pass them on to you.

You could also add an IF that says if more than X posts are deleted in Y amount of time, you'd better not let it go. Or you could also have a certain number of post deletions in a day. Or one post deleted 10 sats, two posts 50, three posts 150 sats, something like that that keeps increasing.

Oh, interesting, but why delete them?

I think making them pay at least 1 sat for each of these comments will be enough

But yeah, we could also apply spam fees on a global level if it gets really bad. They are currently limited to replying to the same item.

What I saw on Twitter and commented on here isn't what I thought. It's a Twitter-anchored app that runs on the Solana network.

Rough weekend. I tinkered around and messed up one of my nodes. Meanwhile, our A/C guy was checking out the unit in the attic when he crashed through the floor and broke through the ceiling of my daughter's closet.

Wow bro, what a crazy weekend indeed.
