We’re approaching 37k, which is a break out point for the downside. Yet nobody seems worried? Should we be worried?

Probably going to spend this evening toying around with https://listmonk.app/ to see if it's suitable for our weekly newsletter.

Been grinding all week building artistic live-edge furniture at my workshop. I will be selling it at a farm/community garden store front that is opening in the coming weeks. After I've got enough decent photos I plan to also make a personal website storefront that accepts bitcoin payments through my BTCpay server. (that's already set up)
I'm not really confident in my ability to do the site by myself, though. Anyone know if I can do something like this easily with one of those diy website services like wix? Or any recommendations for a better way to do this? I've never set up a commercial site before.

There is an e-commerce tool for Wordpress websites called WooCommerce.
BTCPay Server has this video for WooCommerce v2:

Wordpress websites are very common, and that makes it easy to find help to create a site and/or storefront. You could probably find a freelancer who works with WooCommerce by adding a task for that on something like Microlancer.io
There's also a video from BTCPay Server for Shopify:

You are doing great. BTCpay is the easiest way to start, it has even built in wordpress and easily add products.
Don't worry in time you will learn more.
You are on the good path.

I'm thinking most of the replies in this post were trolling the OP, but if not then it might be that the "sats per min" in the ~jobs board is something being widely and easily misunderstood.

Perhaps there needs to be a prefix (e.g., listing fee: n sats per min) or that being shown under column of its own -- with a title, or perhaps some other way to explain to what that references.

I was pretty surprised to see that some were actually able to misunderstand the sats per minute thing. Obviously the job salary won't be 1 sat per min...

It's pretty astounding how much is getting air-dropped, really. Hopefully they are tweaking it to give to those most likely to send sats back into the community.

I see @kr's tweet -- is that data accessible publicly?

it's available on your profile under 'satistics', but requires some manual data entry to get it into chart form

I think the amount is a function of your trust score, combined with total revs from jobs. I believe job postings have increased, but it's possible your trust score went up too.
This would have a compounding impact.
SN can't give out 500 sats per user. Sybil attacks are a thing!

correct, it’s a combination of the two. This way, users can increase their earnings somewhat independent of job board revenues as long as they continue to create great content & have quality discussions. More users does lead to dilution of airdrops, but it should also increase revenue to counteract it.

I could use a couple thousand sats if you'd be interested in donating to my fund in an attempt to start my own channel. Anything helps!
