recall bumble-gum wrappers, that were propagating allegorical messages in a short comic-strip format? a complex logo wud be somewhere in between a minimalistic logo and a short comic on a wrapper; i can include a QR code on the reverse to link to an explainer of what message is being conveyed... maybe people cud collect a cashu token?
yea, the pills shud be quite potent today... look, if they want a decoding cypher for the symbolism, there will be a page or two about that, haha; wud u prefer that bitcoin signal/clue morphs into a tiny orange dot, or convey wisdom of the (s)ages? the satoshi symbol does just that (kabbalistic lightning bolt)! humanity had plenty of time and opportunities to figure this out... now it's time to OPEN THE MOUTH WIDE!
whoever is incapable of swallowing a potent pill shud just stay humble, stack sats, and earn back some attention-freedom to study this stuff; i think my logo is quite dumbed-down, compared to some traditions, like the masonic tracing boards (see below);
the new juicer turns the watermelon into an elixir, containing the concentrated power of the sun, with rind and seeds and skin!

that moment wen u get so sketched out by some random post about github, that u prefer to turn on ur lightning node in order to authenticate into stacker.news
yes, we all have the force, and the magic wands of some sort were possibly used to move big rocks by the ancients, yet we are not taught how to do that in school anymore;
have u trained ur mind to be more at ease with ur past and dire-looking future [at least for the normies], thru this extreme physical challenge? i wud expect so... very impressive work;
hey, first it's a bit of help from a friend, next thing u're cheating by using an anti-gravitic propulsion hovercraft... completely leap-frogging the excavator;
anyone who builds any kind of reality is a mason; one cud build in stone or one cud build in code, or in any plant substance;
what can i say, The Great is the greatest of all time =)
not sure i want to "sell" it, in the mainstream sense of the word; whether or not the creation has a GR8 logo is irrelevant; in fact, it may be as simple as - if u are enjoying the high-quality juice and granola on a particular good sunny day, life is just great; i wish to activate people's minds and hearts - in order to do that, the body has to be healthy enough to handle it; an artsy symbol is only a spark for the imagination;
i have been thinking a lot since my last stacker.news activity, haha
u are likewise a "not see"
u still have far to rise
if u can-not-see, u can't possible know the way forward
this granola bar will only be available to the few that can appreciate the value of this food and/or those that are capable of knowing bitcoin & nostr; basically, it will be and shud be out of reach of the normie population (spoiler: those might eat the bugs...); same for the logo; IYKYK; obviously available to all that are intelligent enough to acquire it and understand it; plus it's open-source and open-distribution =)
it's not as high-vibration food as the fresh organic juice, but it's a humble type of food for humble times; i think an even lower-vibration food than that wud be something like biltong or beef-jerky, but i digress...
- lightning font is cool, and the kabbalah lightning bolt is the satoshi symbol; it's a subtle symbol that took me a while to see; throughout history the esoteric symbols and messages have been hidden in plain sight, and bitcoin symbolism is no different;
- the G is the portal; Genere is the creative potential within All; the trick is to activate it; so i wonder if it cud be like a rainbow painted by a brush... emanating from and rising above the R-pedestal into infinity
- i think GR8 granola is the final mark, yea; not necessarily a brand or a trade-mark; i am striving to bring about an evolution in distributing goodness; meaning it wud be an open-source symbol just like satoshis are, or a raw milk from cows... or anything that grows;
all in all, this is quite a big project, because if it succeeds... what we call money might no longer be necessary for sustenance on edible goods; it might still be necessary for stuff like energy, as most are too far from energy independence;
i am also thinking about logos for
- freshly made juices
- baking soda spheres for the bathtubs (something about aqua and ions... like upside down triangle, maybe fishies or aquarius, and eye-on)
all of these projects only exist in the mind right now; currently waiting for the juicer to arrive
what i got:
symbols:
- satoshi hidden inside the granola bar
- granola: stacker news lettering, cuz that's where the design will come from
- satoshi-granola-bar also masquerades as the ladder to the 3rd eye
- the 3rd eye: totally awakened consciousness
- R-pedestal: the R (reptilian) brain complex, the survival mode
- checkerboard floor: base consciousness, where most of the unbegun people dwell
- the portal of Creation (Genere) or the letter "G"
- 8: "-eat/eight" and the infinity
- GR8: the Great
what i need:
aesthetic design, proper coloring, not too simple, nor not too complex of detail, so that i won't need a high-resolution printer, and so that the 2" x 2" logo can fit unto a wrapped granola bar
i have a rough design in my mind right now (see picture below); it's a granola bar leading up to the 3rd eye like a ladder, from a pedestal (the first step, and the R-complex) that stands on the checkerboard floor; the design spells out "GR8")
excellent post! i say that connections with people away from keyboard are the peer-to-peer space that is frequently under-emphasized: a friend who stacks sats can buy anything u want for u, up to buying a house or property, if the deal is correctly arranged; with that in mind, nostr or another decentralized communication app works;
one can even ping friend's node with keysend; i have not played around with this method yet; i know it's very powerful if there is a p2p LN connection already;

here is Safeway, one of the USA grocery store chains with many toxic products per aisle...
i wud recommend a shaka sign that is holding bitcon, as one of the logos; the horns of a "let's rock" sign is, in a way, a duality symbol (peace sign is even more so), but a wonky shaka sign holding a bitcoin conveys a completely different meaning to the mind; the Bitcoin with wings on the very top is pretty good; @deSign_r cud probably suggest some logo improvements if you desire a good one!
i am also looking to start a sats-only store, thank u for demonstrating the implementation!

depends on ur interpretation of the word "safe"

the fees u shared are too expensive, proportional to the amount of sats stacked; the additional privacy benefits gained by looping-out (swapping-out or moving lightning-to-onchain) are not worth the sats, imho;
i wud recommend coinos for lower fees of swapping as well as temporary 3rd-party custody, or phoenix if u are already willing to spend this much on a swap-out thru boltz; Phoenix is slightly more expensive, but the private keys are legit and node conectivity is #1;
are u already reading Dathcoin Guides? The following are relevant to your situation:
