the act of creation is the only thing that justifies existence

I don't think people realize the point. I did a podcast with fiatjaf about open time stamps, when he was busy writing the implementation, and it was only during that conversation when i explained that he realized why its important, lol. I just re-listened it to see if it was worth sharing it with you, but i think you are better off with my wall of text haha.

Anyway the point was context; some old book, is physically an old book; but data is just data, it has no smell etc. So, especially in the age of A.I., you can not only conjure up data, but also a whole bunch of fake context surrounding that data. So something pretending to be very old, might as well be created mere minutes ago, including its surrounding conversation; and when over time a large quantity of keys get compromized and public knowledge the mess only becomes greater. We are better off just structurally timestamping all the things, future historians will thank us for adding some smell to the data.

Awesome!

Maybe, if the depositors who don't like it get their money back, and the ones who do, pay the builder and get the project, the builder still gets something even if only a few liked the work.

Looking forward to seeing what you build!

Great idea - could be set up for more than 3D printing.

Vibecoding would be a fun one, music creation, tutoring.

Risky to put too much work into a project if you don't know if the person will like it, but maybe there could be a way the others can accept it even if the initial bounty creator doesn't?
