Hello stackers!
About a month ago I launched a first iteration of ArtiSats, and we had a nice testing session with some great feedback. If you need a refresher you can refer to this thread here on sn. I have been working on the site since then and I am happy to announce that ArtiSats is back for a new round of testing and some easy sats.
What is ArtiSats?
ArtiSats is a custodial, level 3, lightning network powered web platform where you can buy and sell art, photos, sketches, AI generated images and soon more with Bitcoin. There are three types of asks: private, public and bump public. Private asks are only visible to you, public asks can be bumped by other users and are visible to the entire community upon successful settlement, and bump public asks are similar to public asks but only users who have bumped the ask with at least 10% of the current sum can see the final image upon successful settlement.
follow ArtiSats.com to get notified when new asks are posted: b3ce84d464f119d89ab14a636c6cfcb4da0ac7660b1bf965a1c32bfc9e836eabMajor changes:
UI
- major UI overhaul
- the site now looks better
- the site is now responsive
- the site is now mobile friendly
Aks
- the entire auction system (wtf was I thinking?) was scrapped and replaced with a simpler system where asks are now eternal
- countdowns confused users
- countdowns brought performance issues
- the auction system brought some nasty complexity to the codebase
Spaces (removed tags)
- users can now create "spaces" for a symbolic fee of 1000 sat
- spaces are like subreddits
- spaces can be used to group asks and offers
- later on space creators will be able to moderate their spaces
- creators can earn some sats for asks settled in their spaces (3%)
Nostr integration
- user can now provide a nostr public key and receive messages from artisats on nostr
- users will get notified when their offers are accepted
- users will get notified when their asks receive offers
- users will get notified when their asks got bumped by other users
- NIP-05 for the site
Image editor
- a full-featured image editor is now available
- users can now obfuscate their images exactly the way they want
- quick edits, like blur and checker, are also available for lazy users and mobile users
Other changes
- asks can be cancelled
- asks can be edited
- a provisional logo was added
- lots of bugs were fixed
More free shit
I have created a few aks that you can take on to test the site. If you take on one of these asks you will receive a certain amount of sats. The amount of sats you receive depends on the ask. The amount of satoshis you receive is not a lot, but it's free money. If you're interested in testing the site and/or providing feedback please read on. Also, if you have any idea for an ask that you would like to see on the site please let me know (or just post it yourself).
Here are some highlights:
-
This ask requires you to create a space that you think might be interesting for the community. Bounty: 2000 sats (actually its 1000 sats because creating a space costs 1000 sats).
-
This ask requires you to make an account and post an offer with a screenshot of your "my stats" page. Bounty: 300 sats.
-
This ask requires you to make an account, provide a nostr public key and post an offer with a screenshot of the message you receive from ArtiSats. Bounty: 350 sats.
-
This ask requires you to provide meaningful feedback on the site. Bounty: 1000 sats.
-
This ask requires you to sketch a logo for ArtiSats. Bounty: 40000 sats.
-
This ask requires you to post a photo of the view from your window. Bounty: 5000 sats.

Missing sats
looks like some users from the last round we're not able to withdraw and are missing some sats. @FROSTBIT, @jeff, @Wumbo or any other user who remember their name on ArtiSats may paste invoices here and I will reimburse them their funds on a trust basis. Please withdraw your funds as soon as possible after testing.
If it is working what wallet have you succesuflly withdraw to?
