10 sats \ 2 replies \ @Kontext 18 Sep 2025 \ on: What creative ideas have you been rambling on? Design

So... let's make a recap.

NEW STUFF:

  • Nostr vlog volume 4 "You are dead" and volume 5 "A privilege and a burden are the same thing"
  • Did a little photoshoot for some of the new Kontext Store of Value merch and shared details and a few photos about a couple of products: #1219481
  • Got an idea about a Bitcoin product, which, to my knowledge, has never been done before - at least not in the way I plan to do it. I hope to make it a community effort. As such, there will be sponsorship opportunities. There will be a second Open Source Culture Creator Contest, with multiple winners (see info about the first: #898491). It will also be an experiment in implementing the Open Source Culture resources in a physical product (much like I did with my book #1074789 - the digital version will be free / Name Your Price & the physical product will have a set price). Some preparations for this have been made, but not enough to share the exact plan. So stay tuned for more details...
  • Reached day 700 of 100+ pushups per day (the 2 year mark is now less than a month away!)
  • Watched "The Last Temptation of Christ" (1988) and made a banger of a meme from it:

Mostly, I'm still working on stuff I mentioned at the end of August, updates:

  • Contacting companies to get a wider selection of discount codes live on SATOSH.EE - in progress, but got some good deals live already
  • Adding additional products & designs to Kontext Store of Value - in progress
  • Making a proper introduction to KSoV - not done due to the point above still being in progress
  • Offering KSoV resale possibilities to other Bitcoin book and/or merch stores - not much progress
  • Figuring out bulk pricing for the above; whether I should also add an affiliate program - not much progress
  • Figuring out more ways to promote the book - in progress
  • Fixing the referral links issue with Satoshee - in progress, but have identified the cause: #1226483
  • Cleaning my room - in progress
  • Hopefully, also more new writing, and perhaps music making again 🤠 - not much progress

THINGS I NEED TO IMPROVE UPON:

  • Sleeping schedule is very erratic (I can stay up for 48h, then sleep 12-14h, then awake for 48h again...)
  • Have not been running much (I was never a runner before, started going on small laps when I got back to Estonia a couple of months ago, but lately have been slacking)
  • Not much writing or music making done lately. I do prefer to write whenever I feel inspired to, but also I have an idea for making an essay and/or a video about Bitcoin from a Stoic perspective - the intent is twofold: 1) to introduce some of the reasons why I included so much about Bitcoin in my book about stoicism 2) to introduce my book and philosophy to Bitcoiners. I think there is a great synergy between the two.
  • I have more ideas, too many ideas, but I have to choose my focus as to not overwhelm myself nor to stretch myself out too much

CORRECTION:

In the last post (#1204104) I linked the wrong page for the short meditation / article "The Last Hope" - the correct link is: #1201227

The Openn Challange is really good initiative. Not sure why you posted it in ~art, as I assume artists usually are really protective of their pieces. I see ~Photography-ers for example more inclined to join and chip in some pics. Writers of ~BooksAndArticles and ~the_stacker_muse as weel, and don't forget ~devs, that's where the open-source concept has been minted.

Since that competition was really a free-for-all with no guidelines in terms of what people could propose (other than that it had to be digitally distributable) I figured "art" would be perhaps the most all-encompassing term for ideas to be submitted :)
