I'm sure there will be a day when ~builders or another SN territory will replace it - but until then Product Hunt is still a great place to share what you're working on with the world.
Fountain is launching on Product Hunt today and I would love the support of any stackers that use Fountain to help raise awareness of Podcasting 2.0 and Value for Value with a global audience.
Upvotes and reviews make a huge difference and it would be amazing if we could get product of the day!

Thanks in advance for the support!
Also happy to chat in the comments about Fountain feedback / ideas / improvements!
Can get paid in bitcoin, usd and eur. Have a western bank, but total fees to make it to cash pesos is at least 1.5%. Still looking to improve on this. Debit card payments are free.
Yes, I save a lot. I live very good here for 1200 usd and eat steak every day. My house gets cleaned, (shared) garden taken care of, that kind of stuff. Close to a lively centro with a lot going on, international community. Can't get anywhere close to that in W-Europe.
And don't forget the time I save not doing bureaucratic paperwork, it doesn't interest Mexico where I get my money from; as long as it's from abroad and I spend it here, they're happy.
I should preface this by saying I have not read the book.
I feel like the concept of Network States can only thrive when they bridge into our physical world, by offering safe travel, shared skills or by offering benefits like legal representation.
It’s clear there is a shift and movement to online communities, but people are just happy to limit this discussion to shitposting & giving opinions, and distracting themselves from their real lives. This chatter is like spam to the idea of a Network State, it gets in the way of coordinated action.
Network States to me only reach their potential when there is a geographical HQ, however small, to build from, to meet or to reallocate resources from. It cannot just be distributed and located in the fetaverse. We would otherwise have seen them emerge already.
What Balaji has effectively done is rebrand the popular view that we will see smaller Sovereign Communities, who can generate outsized returns, no longer requiring economies of scale. He’s a very good salesman, but not yet to me a visionary.
Microlancer really is an underappreciated and underutilized gem.
There are so many things many of us do where we would benefit by simply having somebody else do the task instead. You don't need a big budget ... 2,000 sats ($0.50) for a ten minute task will get you numerous qualified "taskers" willing to perform the work.
It's just not in our nature to delegate simple tasks, but Microlancer is there for exactly that! Just the other day I had listened to a podcast and wanted to later share a quote from it. To ensure I got the quote correct, I had to re-listen to a good chunk of the podcast to find at what point in the podcast the quote had occurred. I could have instead paid 2,000 sats to someone to find it for me. That's just an example of how this useful tool exists, we just have to train our brains to make use of it.
