For me, the most difficult part of transitioning from working for other people to working on my own pursuits was a lack of structure. No deadlines, no daily accountability to others, no ladder to climb. This is freeing, but makes it very hard for me to get work done.
One option I'm considering is converting as much of my work as possible to offline. I've already deleted social media, but even still, I find myself getting more and more creative with ways to distract myself on my laptop during the workday (for example: Posting this right now).
Wanted to feel out the community here, many of whom are in a similar position, to understand if others have struggled with this and any strategies available to me/education on the matter.
And I also notice there are a bunch of plug ins for writers out there (organizational, word count, outline your .md document and so forth).
I don't think I can spearhead the effort. My impression is an experienced Atom developer could knock it out in 12 hours (2 to build and debug it, 2 hours to fix complaints, and 8 hours to make it right after a few weeks). <- this guess is based on absolutely nothing other than a wild guess.
There's p2pool and various proposals to let miners (not pools) produce blocks so that pools would just handle payouts. But once you fix pools you might discover that there are still less than 100 data centers doing the mining which is probably due to geographical electricity costs and economy of scale, neither of which can really be fixed.
Farther afield you have stuff like Chia's proof of empty disk space or of course PoS.
Packers are nonprofit but there are other sports teams/organizations that have similar public offerings to raise funds/capital that are for profit entities.
You keep calling it a public offering, but the reality is, a public offering is selling parts of your company for cash, aka a stock, ownership has it's privileges, without those privileges, you aren't selling anything to the public, the public is giving you money in return for a piece of paper and a fuzzy good feeling inside. I don't invest to get a fuzzy good feeling inside. I donate for that.
Donations are not investments. They're expenses. Investments must have a return of some monetary vale, or else it's an expense.
I call it a public offering because it is a public offering ...according to the Packers and according to the SEC.
You’re really acting like an authority on “public offerings”, do you think you know more than the SEC about public offerings and they don’t know what one is? I understand your definition, it’s just not the legal definition is all.
What’s at odds is Packers “Stock” which isn’t “stock” in the common definition and understanding, but it’s still called stock, it’s just not a security or investment.
Have you even seen the Packers Public Offering Document(s) or subscription agreements? Because I’ve never seen a donation/charity issue “public offering documents” or require subscription agreements.
Edit:
>public offering is selling parts of your company for cash, aka a stock, ownership has it's privileges, without those privileges, you aren't selling anything to the public,
You should also really take a look at SEC enforcement actions against ICOs because almost none of them are “stock” nor carry privileges yet are considered public offerings.
