10 sats \ 1 reply \ @bounty_hunter 11 Nov \ on: BTC Bounty from The Bitcoin Politicians to Automate Updates bitcoin
Relevancy: the bounty was just increased from $1k -> $4k. Bear markets are great times to build, but Bull runs pay the bills :)
Same at used to yell at the computer like a boomer yelling at cable news.
Now I'm zen like Jack: the solution will reveal itself when I'm ready.
Show don't explain use to tremendous effect for the mysterious compound. And the faux window realization is well executed. I willingly plunged into the mass suicide and felt exhilarated and silly as you pulled me back out.
I wonder if unexplained details could be also be employed for the narrator's inner monologue? The language here is like a psychologist describing a child at play. But I want to read a child describing the psychologist.
Nice work. I wonder what's in storage?
Appreciate the heads up @south_korea_ln and personally I couldn't be more orange pilled. That's why we built on Lightning.
We're very interested in tapping into the mindset of international devs who might not speak English too well. That means iterating on the term
bounty vs reward or the word sat, satoshi or even the sat symbol. It's great to be on SN where what is a satoshi? isn't the first thing we have to explain.Hey @The_Narrator, glad you're getting those vibes from us.
Would love to chat about your experience as a jr dev / existing platforms. Shoot us a DM on X or put in your email on our landingpage and we'll get back to you. Cheers,
Lots of good bounty dialectic here: As @cascdr explains, full application development is too large and 1-point jira ticket work is inefficient due to codebase learning curve. And as @south_korea_ln points out, some fraction of the work usually does fit the sweet spot and doubles as hiring funnel. What we've found looking at a dozen or so of these boutique platforms is they tend to easily attract talent where the geo-arbitrage of wages overide the friction. I was reading the other day a young Vitalik got his first 2.5 btc on a bounty writing an article.
But often as @didiplaywell points out that at scale (e.g. UpWork) these platforms become a race to the bottom of commodification and low quality. What bounties aren't: W2 software engineering entirely liquidated into micropayments. So what might they look like?
One I'm pretty excited about is innovation / benchmark prizes, a cool one recently spread on twitter and the winning solution seemed to push SOTA in prompting techniques. Another one I'm intrigued about is frontend design for small business: we're starting to see a toolchain emerge that could do an 80/20 of code-generation-tools/bounties. Another niche in content creation and curation of docs, support wikis, etc. What ties these use-cases together is that you can build them all on top of a git pull request model, and it comes with existing workflow familiarity and reputation.
Trying to maximize flexibility, task diversity and iterations to answer Where do incentives make opensource better and open up new use cases? is IMO the best way to evolve product-market-fit.
Top5 ML/AI dev.
Head of Tesla Self-driving, core-OpenAI eng manager, most respected public educator, kind of like Andreas Antonopoulos for bitcoin.
Thank you for the kind words and that's our hope as well: making bounties simple to post and easy to find across projects.
All systems go 🚀
But let's keep the fun under 1k sats for now folks.
The
Beta comes off in three weeks in Mexico City.That's when we're balling for real.
You've got to deposit sats first to be able to create a reward.
You can do that in https://beta.lightningbounties.com/profile.
If you check now I've credited you some free sats for the nice find. You should be able to post a reward for up to 1,000 sats.
Howdy stackers!
We're excited to help you build 🛠️ and stack 💰.
We're launching Sept 19 at PlebLab Startup Day in Mexico City. #647397
Love the enthusiasm; give me a minute to kick these docker containers and give the all clear before lighting us up.
