⚡️POW - 138 th day on Nostr, when everything's going well I've been transparent, now I have to do the same when things aren't going so well. As a reminder, all the work is done manually, no automation!

➤ 7717 / 138 = 55.92 publications per day
➤ 55.92 / 24 = 2.33 publications per hour
➤ 13094 / 138 = 94.884 traces of activity per day
In terms of financial return, here are the figures:
🔸 1,135,000 sats in total.
➤ 1135000 / 138 = 8,224.638 sats per working day
➤ 8224.638 / 55.92 = 147.0786 sats per publication
➤ 8224.63 / 8 = 1,028.0788 sats per hour worked.
That's the equivalent of about $1 an hour of work.
For your information, in the last two weeks it's clearly plummeted to around 2000 sats per day (I haven't yet identified the cause, but there are several hypotheses, such as the fact that I'm no longer "new" or a "drop in interest").
To sum up, I'm clearly beginning to realize that it's going to be very difficult to make a living from it, at least by 2025 I consider the goal to be impossible.
To be able to make a living from it, I was talking about it this morning. I've calculated 50,000 sats per day, if I maintain a cadence of around 60 publications, that would be 833.33 sats per publication, which sounds enormous, but if we show this with almost 7,000 subscribers, we can say that it's feasible. Let me explain: if readers zap with 1 zap each, assuming that only 1/4 of my subscribers see my publication, we're at 1,750, and if only half of them zap with 1 sats, we're at 875 sats. So seen like that, it's achievable, but it's only theory...
The reality is that only a handful of people (who wish to remain anonymous for the most part) support me in a consistent way, which "compensates" a little for the "inactive mass".
On the human side, it's my best experience of any platform. There's a great deal of benevolence, but I think that goes hand in hand with intelligence. Intelligent people are basically good people, and you can see that here.
In terms of user experience, I'm having a bit of trouble keeping up with notifications and posting from time to time, but nothing catastrophic.
Sorry I took so long, but it feels good to share this adventure with you, who knows, maybe in a while I'll be the first Nostrich to make a living out of it, and I'll be able to use my Proof of Work publications to testify. In any case, I've achieved the biggest Nostr speed run in the history of the protocol, I think. Well, I don't know, maybe others have done better before me....
Thank you all, for your support every day I know that some are eagerly awaiting my publications and that makes me proud! I love you ❤️
Our next target is 10,000 notes, by which time we'll be updating you in a little more detail.
