You're right! This is what I see:
63 cowboy credits
88 sats
ugh, it would be cool if there were two numbers in the top right instead of the one that confused me!
Thanks for the hint, now everything is clear.
The Blink wallet has been connected for receiving and sending for a long time. The wallet itself is empty, but the site shows 150+ SATS. However, it does not allow posts to be made, although it has successfully allowed this and the previous comments to be written.
Wow! Thanks for mentioning me!
I still can't figure out why my posts aren't being published as they were before. It looks like I have 150 SATs on my account, but it seems as though the debit is coming from an empty wallet. I don't know how to set it up so that the current account is debited (not my blink.sv) when I publish a message.
Sales is really boring sometimes, I know. Don't let yourself be affected by failures or negative responses. Learn from it! Cold emails we know does not or rarely converts leads on the first interaction. You put a seed there. Calling the CEO without any notice isn't really good, especially if your friend just give you the number without ensuring first the CEO would be available or waiting to receive your call. CEOs are busy man... CEOs delegate others to execute... The next step is usually to call the company directly to whatever public number they have listed publicly, telling them you sent out an email, and you'd like to talk with the responsible person. Don't give up, keep reaching out to this company if you think you can provide real value to them. They will be happy to pay back accordingly ;) Same for the RFP. First one is gone, as you mention it was expected. Next one you'll be in a better position. As @lunin mentioned here #995163, is a step-by-step process. You need to learn about the process, then you'll learn to trust the process!
I totally agree - I used to run a company myself, and over the years, countless people have tried to sell me things.
The only times I actually bought something were when someone provided real value upfront. This could be a small but useful service, an unexpected insight or a result before the pitch. That proved their value — no words needed.
The same applies to hiring: want a job? Show how you’ll add value before even asking for the job.
It's the "pay it forward" (a cool movie btw) principle — not with money, but with proof. Give value, earn trust, close deals.
Stick with it and good things will come.
@k00b Could you please check it again?
I now have enough sats to post, but there is an error. Take a look at the log:

Thanks for the ping @AG!
We’ve been building Shegby — a decentralized service marketplace that evolved into a bigger vision: a Network State powered by P2P KYC.
We realized early that trust between users is the key to any real peer-to-peer economy. So we built our own Web3 KYC system, where users control what they share and with whom. It’s based on our custom algorithm HumanRank — think PageRank, but for people and connections.
Latest win: We’ve got the HumanRank scoring live and integrated with wallet-based identity.
Current focus: Improving onboarding for service providers.
Biggest challenge: Scaling trust without central authority — and staying UX-friendly while doing it.
Curious to hear what others think about trust, identity, and KYC in the Bitcoin economy.
P.S. We are looking for financial support and investment. Feel free to contact me or support us directly: #994307

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @fauxfoe 4m There is no substitute for trying it in practice. I was advising somebody launching a consulting business. I told her to skip all the stuff she was planning and just go get her first clients. Stop developing materials, researching the market, building a website. Go make a sale. One sale. I just checked in with her and... 18 months later she's still working on that website. I am launching a new business. I have the crappiest website. I put 99% of my energy into getting to first revenue. I'm six weeks in. In two weeks I will know if there's room in the market for me or if I'm on the wrong track. If I fail here, I probably fold, but at least I know. Exactly! I think it was Kiyosaki who said that you don't need a perfect logo or a polished brand; you just need to sell the product or service. Clarity comes from doing, not planning. Priorities make or break momentum. Respect for focusing on revenue first — that's the real MVP move!
Curious - is anyone here actually earning enough sats consistently to not need a regular job?
Or is it mostly just side income or a hobby for most folks?
Would love to hear some real examples.
Not dumber - just lazier. Like muscle, thinking atrophies without use. LLMs are power tools, but if you stop swinging the hammer yourself, don’t be surprised when your hands go soft.
I would invite my first love just to thank her for choosing me all those years ago, for the light she brought into my life, and for showing me how important simple moments can be.
