Set a goal. A big one. Something that you have been postponing, something that you have been dreading. Or something that would just make yourself proud. Go big or go bust.
Post it here. Make it tangible.
Don't say: I'm going to learn Korean. Say, you will learn 1000 words on Memrise.
Don't say: I will work on my side hustle. Say, I will increase my income by 500k sats.
Don't say: I will help the Bitcoin ecosystem. Say, I will onboard 3 businesses to accept Bitcoin.
Don't say: I will help SN grow. Say, I will post a long form high effort post every day on SN, and post 1000 low quality posts in #948515.
10,000 sats will come to the one achieving his most crazy goal, as decided by myself at the end of next week (Sunday). I'll probably let the community sway me one way or another, but wanna make sure I'm not rewarding the biggest troll~~ Some kind of POW will be expected, but you don't need to doxx yourself while doing so.
You can have subgoals, but try to fit them inside one single overarching goal.
Daily updates are appreciated as comments to your own goal comment.
I'll also post my goal, but I won't be running for the reward of course.
Let's get some work done the next 7 days!
239 sats \ 0 replies \ @optimism 22h
The next 7 days I shall triage and fix a 10+ year old bug that was brought to my attention Friday evening AND rework the code in question to make sure that these types of bugs are easier to spot on that part of code from now on.
I shall earn 0 sats in this process and shall gain 0 reputation points. I will however be very pleased with myself when this is done, +1000 ego points.

I am setting up a version of Stacker News on app.cg — a new social platform designed to be user-friendly for both Web2 and Web3 audiences.
For now, I have purchased and registered a username for the community.
My next plan is to start posting basic articles about Stacker News. The essence of app.cg is similar to Discord but offers several superior features, allowing users to sign up via wallet or email.
Currently, I am encountering difficulties with automatically forwarding posts from Stacker News to app.cg.

Figuring out why my BitAxe isn’t working properly. Joined the discord and am actively getting support!

I will do my best to maintain a 7 day streak on SN this week starting from today (ceteris paribus)

I just published my book
Bitcoin Hands-On! 28 “learn by doing” exercises to master the basics of managing your own Bitcoin, including wallets, transactions, and self custody https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F4SZSCH8.
I'm happy about that, but sales are very slow, I gotta hussle on marketing.
In order to do that, I will finish a 1 page website (bitcoinhandson.com). It'll be something I can point people to, for promotion, instead of always having them go to the Amazon link.
It'll be very basic, and I'm not a web dev, but it'll be something other than the "coming soon" page, which is what I have right now.
Thanks for the motivation, and the prod to get really specific!

Interested to know how someone increases their income by 500k sats.
I've been putting off cleaning out the study and the shed. It's not much, but I'll be doing it this week. Just to get it out of the way and open up my time to the next project would be nice.
Thanks for the inspiration!

Some semi-focused open source contributions on SN can get you there if you have the proper skills...
Good to hear it inspires others. The goal was mostly selfish to get myself some accountability to get those collaborations out of the way~~

Not an extraordinarily big goal, but I’m going to present on AI-enabled features on Student Learning Space, my country’s e-learning platform, to my coworkers.
I should be spending all my free periods planning for that workshop, but I already planned to collect my passport tomorrow.
As if that isn’t enough, I still have to write an email tomorrow to entice my coworkers to sign up for the workshop
Let’s hoping that I emerge unscathed

Coool idea! I'll perhaps enter the next week. I'm already in the middle of something, I'll just share it later.
reply
The post in #948515. is indeed a poor quality one.
A good idea of a high quality one would be appreciated, that'll help.

My goal, clean up heavy backlog in some of my collaborative works by
  • Closing the work with the Daegu group by sending them the final calculations.
  • Submitting the 2 papers with the Texas group after reviewing them.
  • Finishing the figures for the SNU group and making first paper draft on Overleaf.
  • Calculating the topological numbers for the YD group. Figure out the physics angle for the paper.
Will add more if I feel I am on track.
This will free up a lot of mental space and time to tackle other projects.

I've already put in a few hours on the first task. This is going very well.
