Thinking about making a crypto themed Wicky Thing Candle that you can only purchase via a L2 crypto network: Bitcoin Lightning, Gnosis, Arbitrum, Optimism, or Polygon. 🤩🤣🤓
Finally figured out Bitcoin Lightning transactions. Ready to use Lightning at Bitcoin Miami. Want to try? Send some Sats to sinfuljam38@walletofsatoshi.com (no longer used) or jthingelstad@strike.me. ⚡️
I claimed my ENS 6th Anniversary POAP for: thingelstad.eth, weeklything.eth, 0xjjt.eth, and magicpines.eth. Unfortunately I don’t have avatar records set for all my ENS domains. Get yours at the ENS Anniversary site.

Ethereum gas prices have been very high and sustained for a week now. This seems like the highest since the merge and the crazy highs of 2020. 🤔 I would like to upgrade all my ENS domains to the v3 wrapper but not at 100+ gwei!

I tried several times earlier to participate in the (historic?) Ethereum KZG Ceremony but was never able to get in because so many people were queued up to do it. The demand died down and thingelstad.eth was contributor 91,614 in the ceremony.

Tammy's NYC Birthday Trip Day 1
Cloudy and started raining at night.
16,424 steps.
Just claimed the POAP Tyler made for Tammy’s NYC Birthday trip to see Bono and much more. Love it! 🤩

It was cool to see the Minnebar 17 POAPs highlighted in the April 25 issue of This Week in POAP!
Minnebar, America’s “largest and longest-running technology unconference” was held at Best Buy’s corporate headquarters in Minneapolis and dropped POAPs for attendees, presenters, and organizers, as well as a POAP during a session on creating digital community with POAP (LinkedIn post highlighting the POAPs).
I also really like how the POAP images turned out.

Hector and I at Minnebar 17! I’m sporting my Community Supporter tag, as well as my awesome POAP pin!

For a technologist, I can think of no better way to spend $20 than a month of experimentation with ChatGPT Plus.
For another $20 the second best is to get a little Ethereum and DAI, create a wallet, and learn how to buy a $1 NFT on NiftyInk.
Voted for GIP-82: Gnosis DAO co-fund a community owned forest. I like all the aspects of this project and using a DAO as the organizing entity is very aligned with the potential that I see in DAOs.
I’ve been searching for a super simple way to sign strings of text with my Ethereum wallet and share that proof with anyone online and generally the options have been terrible. I had resigned myself to having to use PGP signatures. And then I found Signatorio which does exactly what I wanted! 👏
