Stacking my first 10k on SN. 🤩💰📈🥳
Wow, I'm very happy😁 for this small achievement, recently I'm being more frequent on SN, and I joined the community in January of this year.
And the truth is I saw that number (10k) quite far away, I am a novice, with little technical and cryographic knowledge so I felt overwhelmed as soon as I arrived at SN, but today it is a fact that I have accumulated my first 10k.
And something quite controversial and important to highlight is that when I really stopped thinking about winning SATS as a main strategy, I actually started winning some SATS. And another detail to mention is that in @lunaticoin's podcast "tools for content creators" I heard his words and that helped me a lot in opening my mind regarding generating content. It made me see and understand that we are all potential content creators, whether it be mentioning an experience, recommending a service or a book, among other possible aspects, that encouraged me to find a way to start expressing myself on SN. And along with lunaticoin's words, this quote that I recently read resonates in my head.
"When you are really focused you will find the means"
Thank you SN community and mainly thanks to @satoshinakamoto without him and his BTC invention we would never be providing and receiving value. Now with patience and dedication let's go for those 50k!! Yeeeha 💪🤠⚡

There are a couple options here.
  1. Full transfer, I step out (you can buy it outright, or rent monthly)
  2. Partnership - buying it outright, splitting on the 3M
  3. Partnership - continued renting monthly
No matter what we decide here, I think it makes sense for you to take the actual administrative control of the territory, so for discussion purposes, lets assume I transfer it completely, and I have to completely trust you.
Is there any of the above you prefer?
Caveats
I need to make sure who ever takes over, can commit to the Owner's Pledge, I have used in the past few months. It's a commitment I don't take lightly.
There is 41K sats in the Treasury. I need to handle this gracefully somehow.
reply
Can you direct me to the Owner's Pledge? I doubt I'll have any issue with it, but I want to make sure.
I love the idea of splitting an outright buy with you. Let me know what you would want that to look like. Is it easiest for you to pay the 3M and then transfer control after I pay you 1.5M?
Other than wanting me to take over administrative control, how are you envisioning a partnership arrangement?
reply
RE: pledge
This has been on the donation-requests pages:
Owner's Pledge If this territory ever runs a cumulative net profit, I'll find a way to do right by the earliest contributors. There is no guarantee of that scenario. Most likely, it'll take the form of "pay-it-forward"-style BTC-adoption/effort/charity.
RE: sequencing
...I'm mulling just trusting you today, giving it to you, on faith/trust, and I pay you after transferring, simply because I don't have time to dig up cold-storage this week.
RE: partnership
This is why I'm slow to respond here. I'm mulling just giving you 51%, you control all decisions. I chime in with my $0.02, you consider it, and then do what you think is best. And I don't complain whatever the outcome. :) ...but, there is also a scenario where if there is more money flowing in, maybe it starts to make sense for me to help build tech-related things, and we start taking things more serious.
The only stipulation I'm mulling attaching to just outright giving you control on faith right now is... some kind of constraint, like, I get veto rights for you to sell/transfer/abandon it -- indefinitely. Basically, I don't want to give it to you, and then you turn around and sell it or flip it somehow, or in the event of abandonment (eg. you disappear for 12 months), I get it back.
reply
That's what I thought the pledge was. I have no objection to that, whatsoever.
There's no chance that I would sell without consulting you, but I get that you have to take my word for that.
I don't know how we would implement the abandonment stipulation, but I have no objection to it in principle.
reply
69 sats \ 1 reply \ @jeff 8 Jun
Apologies for the slow reply. Both a busy day, and I'm thinking about what's best to do.
I thought of a potential issue with splitting it on the honor system. Fast forward 8 months, you've put in some creativity somehow, or a bunch of work, and I've not contributed. There is imbalance. Resentment grows. Suddenly forwarding revenue gets contentious for some reason. Time is worth something. Even just tracking the split is a PITA.
I think, unless the software properly supports co-owners, might be best to just go all-or-nothing. Maybe. Not sure. Which means I think I'm leaning to just giving you 100%.
But, I think I want to see if my schedule opens up, before I make that final call. It all rides on if I have enough time to build what I want to build.
I think if I still feel like I don't have enough time to do what I want on the tech-tooling side, then you can have it, probably in a few months.
reply
I recall them talking about adding co-ownership functionality, but I have no idea where that sits on their to-do list.
I'm fine with proceeding along the lines you lay out. If we get a few months down the road and there's no mechanism for co-ownership and you find you don't have the time you'd like to invest in the territory, then I'll happily take over.
From there, once they do implement co-ownership, we can revisit the idea.
FWIW, if we split an outright buy, I think my attitude would be that any effort either of us invests is purely voluntary, since we would both have the option of sitting back and treating the territory as a passive income source. I appreciate the concern, though, about getting into an arrangement like that with someone you only know online.
In regard to my job, I don’t think I have submitted to “hedonic adaptation “ yet. After all, the first thing I blurt out when outsiders ask me the best thing about working in my school is, “Friday afternoons are FREE!” It’s something that I feel grateful for every week. But perhaps I could do more to remember myself of other perks, making use of a technique “concretely observe” as outlined in the chapter on Work and Money.
Okay, I do love that my school is so huge and bestowed with many interesting facilities, especially since I like watching. It helps me “feel a sense of privilege in your own work life”. Believe me, I know what I’m talking about. I have had the chance to work part-time in an underground bomb shelter; I wondered how people could work for years and years in a place without access to sunlight.
Gratitude musing aside, I learnt something new: the ultradian rhythm. “We cycle through ultradian stages every 90 mins (but no longer than 120 mins) during sleep. We contribute to experience these 90-to-120-min cycles while we are awake as well. At the end of that interval, however, we experience a 20-min period of fatigue, lethargy, and difficulty concentrating.”
Okay, teachers have little control over their work time, so I won’t know when my ultradian rhythms begin and stop. But I’m just gonna take it that after a two-hour lesson, it’s normal for me to experience “flagging focus”, so instead of just trying to power through and write an email, I should do something totally different to renew my energies. Perhaps I should schedule decluttering time or reading time into my timetable when term starts!
Having said that, I know I’m being too optimistic. On some days, I use up all my free periods to get that one important task done - because there is simply no way I can do it after dismissal. Sonja Lyimbomirsky has a recommendation that may fit the circumstances: “If we enjoy the struggle along the way, we will derive pleasure by simply pursuing our goal.” This is the second time this year I have come across “enjoy the struggle”. The first time was when I attended this dance workshop and heard accomplished dancers share about their journeys. I take it as a sign from the Universe that I should be less preoccupied with productivity and more focused on the process.
Lastly, I learnt that schlep naches is Yiddish for deriving pleasure from the achievement of others. Previously, I learnt that naches is a special joy derived from being a parent, so it’s cool to come across naches in another context. Reading compounds my knowledge haha.

Is there such a thing like a Lightning Proxy? Like a custodial service that can receive Lightning payments and forwards to my real address?
reply
Yep. I think this is what you are looking for: https://github.com/lnproxy/lnproxy-address
But in this example you would need to self-host it, so not really custodial. AFAIK, using Zeus with their lightning address offering would achieve the same result, as I'm pretty sure they wrap your invoices (giving the privacy you are looking for).

Went to Göbekli Tepe recently, the first temple discovered by humans so far; it was built about 12000 years ago, you could probably find many videos online of it, but nothing beats seeing it in person - it's literally in the middle of nowhere, seeing everywhere yet without being seen from afar, super smart! ( there are still other areas waiting to be excavated )
And one of the interesting things I have learned is that ppl used to use it to gather together to exchange goods, even marriage 👀 not just being a temple; I was getting lost a bit in history last week, too much to learn...
reply
Your photos are nothing less than impressive and I can deduce that being in front of these historical monuments is priceless. and that the photo is not even half as good, compared to being live observing every detail. Thanks for sharing your adventures.

Yes, why not?
They had their entire lifetimes and nothing else to do.
E.g. Just using some kind of wood contraption and moving it centimeter by centimeter over the span of years.
reply
I don't underestimate the knowledge and ability of our ancestors. Sometimes we can't find an explanation, but I believe there is lost knowledge.
reply
💯They were a lot more advanced back then than we give them credit for. Imo they had advanced skills and technology.
reply
do you think they figured out these knowledge all by themselves 👀 or learned from others?
reply
It was a transfer of knowledge, skills and technology imo. Brought in by a more advanced human civilisation. I don’t tend to subscribe to the ancient alien hypothesis.
reply
Brought in by a more advanced human civilisation.
I also believed this, but then how these more advanced human figured it out?
reply
Fascinating study by primatologists that when one troop of primates discover the use of tools (ie for extracting termites from nests) there will be correpsonding tool use from a different troop despite no contact. But that’s not necessarily relevant - just interesting.
Something happened when hunter-gatherer societies settled. The centralised storage of excess foodstuff and its use towards the cultural (rather than survival) gave groups the ability to build these monuments and perhaps these ideas spread with trade; initially flint tools or similar and later with more specialised goods.
I do love archaeology and anthropolgy.
reply
Knowledge is passed down from generation to generation and some falls by the wayside, but I think it's all the result of human knowledge. I don't believe that aliens have already arrived on earth :)
reply
Exactly what the aliens among us would say….
reply
Humans are so unevolved! They still struggle with basic societal issues like inequality, violence, and environmental destruction. How can they still be so heavily reliant on finite resources? And don't even start me on their social structures it is all conflicts and division rather than cooperation and unity. Humans have barely begun to explore their own solar system, let alone the galaxy. No way they will reach a third millennium ...
Whoops! I've been caught ... 😂
what if it is the other way around - all the core knowledge was passed down somehow, and some got extinct, and ofc different ppl invented new things with the old knowledge.
just guessing 👀

and I can't understand why human civilizations started around this area, so hot and dry, no sea around too. 🥵
reply
There is evidence that the climate and environment was not as it is today in these parts of the world
reply
should be, because it's so hot and dry ( was up to 41c, I heard summer time could be even more )...but then locals are used to it somehow, yet me having heat rush all over.
reply
To do with the transition from hunter-gatherer to agriculture and settled society. As you saw they were symbolic sites of meeting and huge cultural power - you don’t necessarily want that in your own backyard but somewhere neutral and where everyone can access.
Having said that the climate was more temperate in that region 10,000 years ago (during the Mesolithic) and subsequent users could have been driven or moved out and it no longer had relevance in their lives. No culture lasts forever… but their monuments might.

The happiness that comes with getting nails done is unmatched 😊
reply
I don't get how getting your nails can be celebrated?
Do you prepare uncooked meat? Or Cook anything?(water doesn't count) Even if you used gloves the nails slowly could cut the gloves. How do you Cook? Or work? Massage? Or even carry groceries or selecting fruit without stabbing when you go shopping or wash dishes ? 🤔🤔
reply
It's like we girls can't even do nails done. Celebrating getting nails done is more than just a beauty routine. It's an act of self-expression, a way to showcase individuality and creativity. It's not just about the nails; it's about the confidence boost, the sense of being put together, and the sheer enjoyment of a simple pleasure. We have ability to do works even with long nails. We can care it. So, if you can't see the value in that, maybe it's time to rethink what you consider worth celebrating. And more is, that's a fake nails I put on. Can remove it and put it anytime. And i get nails done for going out on special occasion. Not for work.

Preschool in my country comes with homework. The 5-year-old needs to take a photo of himself using public transport; the 1.5-year-old needs to submit her family tree with all her family members.
Which means that today, I had to pick my son up one hour earlier to make a trip to the photography shop and print out photos. Still, I try to be upbeat about it, gorging up on McDonald’s ice cream after the photo expedition. The homework itself isn’t as important as inculcating good habits in my boy to tackle his homework.

Bench Book:
Once the jurisdiction of the Bench Book has been accepted, the clerk of the court is obligated to introduce you to everyone within the courtroom:
  • Bench Book Page 28: Section 63 of the Equal Treatment Bench Book, requires the court introduce everyone, and must explain each person’s role. This means not only their title but also their rights and obligations.
If the answer regarding the previous jurisdictions should be “no”, which is unlikely or the deception would be obvious to see, then ask the following:
To the Court: “What jurisdiction is being offered?”
You then have the right to accept or decline.
