The best part is only results are paid for... unlike current bounty / "viral loop"
So low risk to try solves for the "that won't work" response
We know that the octane fund failed because vetting startups is hard(and other reasons...)
But instead could do a simple bounty based on users of the app(different thesis than bootstrapping on existing DeSo users but of course they could still use).
Pay $1 million for every 100,000 users.
I bet you'd have plenty of people competing.
Also to make it less risky for the app builders and less all or nothing -> payout in milestones like $100k for each 10,000 users.
Total cost for 2 million users is $20m
That's a reasonable CAC and less than 10% of treasury.
To get different outcomes must try different things.

The Greatest Mistake of Humanity: A Reflection on Our Flaws
Throughout history, humanity has faced numerous challenges and made countless errors. While many mistakes may come to mind, one stands out as particularly significant: the tendency to prioritize short-term gains over long-term well-being. This article explores this pervasive issue and offers practical solutions to help individuals and societies make more sustainable choices.
The Nature of Our Mistakess have a remarkable capacity for innovation and progress, yet many of our greatest blunders stem from impulsive decision-making. This behavior often leads to environmental degradation, social inequalities, and personal dissatisfaction. The focus on immediate rewards can overshadow the broader implications of our actions, resulting in outcomes that are detrimental to both individuals and society as a whole.
For instance, the relentless pursuit of profit has led to environmental destruction, as industries exploit natural resources without considering the long-term consequences. Similarly, in personal relationships, prioritizing convenience or instant gratification can weaken connections and lead to feelings of isolation.
The Impact of Short-Term Thinking
Short-term thinking affects decision-making on both personal and societal levels. In everyday life, this may manifest as unhealthy lifestyle choices, such as poor eating habits or lack of exercise, driven by the desire for immediate comfort. On a larger scale, governments and corporations often prioritize economic growth over environmental sustainability, ignoring the long-term impact of their actions.
The consequences of this mindset are evident: climate change, social unrest, and a growing sense of disconnection among individuals. Recognizing this pattern is the first step toward making more thoughtful, long-lasting decisions.
Solutions for a Sustainable Future
Embrace Mindfulness: Practicing mindfulness can enhance awareness of thoughts and feelings, encouraging individuals to consider the long-term effects of their decisions. Taking a moment to reflect before acting can lead to more conscious choices.
Set Long-Term Goals: Establishing clear, long-term objectives helps align daily actions with broader values. Whether in personal life or career, having a vision for the future can guide decision-making and foster resilience in the face of challenges.
Educate and Advocate: Raising awareness about the importance of sustainable practices is crucial. Engaging in discussions about environmental issues and advocating for policies that support long-term well-being can influence broader societal change.
Cultivate Community Connections: Building strong relationships within communities fosters a sense of belonging and support. By prioritizing meaningful connections over superficial interactions, individuals can create a network that encourages long-term thinking and collaboration.
Practice Gratitude: Regularly acknowledging the positive aspects of life can shift focus away from short-term desires. Gratitude cultivates a sense of contentment and reinforces the value of patience and perseverance.

Healing After a Breakup: Navigating the Emotional Journey

Healing After a Breakup: Navigating the Emotional Journey
A breakup signifies not just the end of a relationship, but also the beginning of an intense and often confusing emotional journey. Suddenly, everything once taken for granted disappears, leaving you in uncharted territory. This upheaval can make it tough to see beyond the pain, doubts, and frustration, leading to a feeling that moving on is impossible. However, while healing takes time, there are effective ways to manage emotional pain, enabling you to not only survive but also start the path to recovery.
Why Is It So Hard to Forget Someone?
The heartache of a breakup can feel overwhelming, often manifesting as a deep emptiness and a sense of loss. This emotional pain is not just in the heart; it also disrupts the brain's chemical balance. Research from Rutgers University shows that recalling an ex can activate the same brain regions associated with physical pain. Unfortunately, this emotional suffering tends to last much longer.
Neuroscientists have discovered that the experience of love can resemble addiction, making the end of a relationship feel akin to withdrawal. When love is taken away, the brain craves that connection, similar to an addict longing for their substance of choice. This is why moving on can feel so challenging, especially in long-term relationships where identities become intertwined. Losing a partner can feel like losing a part of oneself, leading to confusion about personal identity and direction.
Understanding the emotional and neurological processes involved in a breakup provides insight into the healing journey, allowing for a more compassionate approach to self-care.
Psychological Tools for Healing a Broken Heart
Recovering from a breakup, especially when still in love, involves more than just waiting for time to pass. How one approaches grief is crucial. Here are some psychological techniques to help process emotions, rebuild self-esteem, and move forward.
- Cognitive Refocusing on Yourself
After a breakup, it’s common to fixate on your ex and shared memories. This can become a loop of revisiting past moments and imagining a future that will never happen. While this is part of the healing process, it’s vital not to get trapped in this cycle. Cognitive refocusing encourages awareness when thoughts drift toward your ex, prompting a shift back to yourself. Consider what you are doing now, who is with you, and what you can pursue. This shift helps prioritize your needs and aspirations. - Cognitive Restructuring
During emotional turmoil, negative thoughts can dominate, painting a bleak picture of the future. This technique helps identify destructive thought patterns that keep you anchored to the past. Start by recognizing automatic thoughts that arise after the breakup, such as “I’ll never find anyone like them.” Question their validity: Are they true? Is there evidence to support them? Reformulate these thoughts into more balanced perspectives, like “It’s challenging, but I have the tools to navigate this.” This process fosters a sense of control and optimism. - Unsent Letter
Unresolved feelings can make it hard to move on. Writing an unsent letter to your ex can be a therapeutic way to express everything left unsaid. In this letter, articulate your feelings, questions, and thoughts without the intention of sending it. This exercise can help clarify emotions and may serve as a ritual to signify closure. - Mindful Naming
Breakups often trigger a rollercoaster of emotions. Instead of generalizing feelings with statements like “I feel terrible,” practice labeling your emotions specifically. For example, say “I feel sad because I miss our routine.” This technique, supported by research from the University of California, shows that naming emotions can shift your brain from an emotional state to a more rational one, helping you regain control. - Inverse Gratitude
After a breakup, it’s easy to dwell on negativity and loss. To move forward, a shift in focus is necessary. Inverse gratitude involves recognizing positive aspects that have emerged from the breakup. Instead of forcing a positive spin, acknowledge that loss brings lessons and new opportunities. Write down at least three things you are grateful for post-breakup, such as having more time for yourself or rediscovering a forgotten hobby. This practice can reduce negative rumination and bolster self-esteem.
How Long Does It Take to Heal?
The healing duration varies for each individual, generally ranging from six months to two years according to psychologists specializing in attachment wounds. However, this does not mean continuous suffering; the pain typically lessens as acceptance grows.
Seeking Help
While applying these techniques can alleviate emotional distress and aid progress, it may be necessary to seek therapy if feelings become overwhelming. A therapist can provide a safe space to process loss and develop coping strategies, making the journey more manageable. Remember, asking for help is a vital aspect of self-care.

45% of my staking rewards with this account are distributed to owners of my NFTs and Creator Coin (CC).
Considering what to do with the remaining 55% as I do have other accounts that provide me with more than sufficient staking rewards already.
1, Do nothing. The 55% staking rewards get auto-staked back into the pool anyway so it acts as another daily increase mechanism without putting in more $DESO. Will continually increase daily drops for all NFT holders over time.
2, Remove the 55% excess and put it towards $WHALEDSHARK CC buy orders, increasing stability in the CC but therefore exposing myself to more $FOCUS price action which isn't much fun 😂
3, Branch the 55% excess into an early Creator Coin fund that provides significant liquidity at launch, locks a portion of the tokens to provide stability and liquidate the rest gradually to snowball. Much more effort needed and also requires a quality Creator Coin market.
Three options that I'm mulling through at the moment and open to any ideas or other suggestions ❤️
