Geoffrey Moore gave an amazing keynote at Growth Summit 2023 today. His strategies have been our playbook for many years. It was incredible to hear directly from such an influential strategist!
Looking forward to an amazing Growth Summit 2023 with #TeamSPS today! 🙌
Lil Nouns DAO Votes
Some Lil Nouns DAO votes:
- Voted for The Lil Nouns Show.
- Voted for Federation.
- Voted against Nouns x MrBeast. I like the idea of Nouns and MrBeast, but I don’t like the bounty incentive to get someone to get it to MrBeast.
First family movie night in new house. I finally got the family room setup. We watched Enola Holmes 2. Good sequel and looking forward to more. 🍿
Reddit Vault and ENS
I recently setup a Reddit Vault so that I can play along with Reddit as they try various crypto features in the platform. I love that they did this by creating a full Ethereum wallet, and you can get the seed phrase. I wanted to see if I could even attach an ENS name to my Reddit Vault and it was easy enough to do.
- I let Reddit setup my vault, and then got the seed phrase.
- I used the seed phrase to setup Rainbow with that same address.
- I transferred a little ETH and MATIC into the Vault address.
- I went into ENS and created a subdomain for reddit.jamie.thingelstad.eth and set the address to my Reddit Vault.
- I logged out of ENS as thingelstad.eth, and logged in using the Reddit Vault and set my reverse.
It was super simple to do and now I have a fully setup Reddit Vault account, on it’s own seed phrase and totally independent of my thingelstad.eth and related accounts.
I just wrapped up another Poapathon contest to get a design for our Things 4 Good Fall Fundraiser. The designers were amazing, creative, and put forward several options that were great fits for our event. If you need design help it is an amazing resource! 🎨
I’ve seen a lot of people trying out Mastodon. I use micro.blog and it supports Mastodon, so if you would like to follow my writing follow @jamiethingelstad@mastodon.social and I’ll be in your Mastodon feed.
Early morning frost on the cattail marsh by County Road 11.
Morning run to MacDaddy’s Donut Garage in Ironton! Bringing back breakfast for the group. 🍩
Big Dipper. It is really wild to me that I could get this with my iPhone, handheld. Editing in Darkroom was critical.
Tasty beer flight at Cuyuna Brewing.
The Oura Ring detected I was sick before I did. This is what my 2nd round of COVID looked like as it started. It also noted elevated sleeping heart rate.
What must be the worst holidays for dogs: Independence Day and loud fireworks, Halloween and frequent doorbell ringing.
Happy Halloween! Thingelstad pumpkins for 2022!

We made another 90 Wicky Thing candles today for a total of 180 ready for the Things 4 Good Fall Fundraiser!
I decided to give Reddit another try. In 2015 I deleted my account. Reddit hasn’t clicked with me, but I want to give it another go. I created a r/WeeklyThing community, which I think could be interesting there. I’ve found r/candlemaking fun. 🙂
Making Wicky Thing Candles with the Digiboil is way faster and just easier. We made twice the candles in much less time versus multiple double boilers.
It is also a win that we can make them inside. Last years cooled outside and that can be too fast and cause tunneling.
We are doing our very first round of Wicky Thing Candles with the Digiboil. This thing can take a lot of wax! This is going to make candle production much faster.
Sign a Message to Verify an Ethereum Address
Cats Will Eat You posed a question on Twitter that I found interesting:
What’s the easiest/free way to validate someone owns a wallet address?
Easiest way to do this that I know is to have the person sign a message with the address and send it to you. I used MyCrypto Sign Message to connect to my wallet and sign a message. This gives a signature:
{
"address": "0x2BdA946a7740b1dDB0fd5C226819170c4DD15720",
"msg": "This message is from thingelstad.eth!",
"sig": "0x0827e88dce80cc03769aa34005f1d693be0247aecd433b49d6fa068df9965bde20047da38ac4aa0e51b6b914fd39b225843fa938817a0ced0a04b47a55b8b99e1c",
"version": "2"
}
Take that message and use the Verify Message tool and confirm that it was signed by that wallet. 🪄
