And that's a wrap! 🍯 LAST jar of honey went out the door this morning; We are officially out of stock until next harvest – most likely sometime end of August or early September. It's all up to the bees now. 🐝 THANK YOU NOSTR!!! Thank you to *everyone* who has supported out little part in the #CircularEconomy over the past 16 months. It still blows my mind that we can sell out our entire year's harvest of honey in just a couple months on #nostronly, and #BitcoinOnly. We launched in February 2024 and have since filled 729 orders!! When I came up with the dea for @SweetSats I never imagined this would be possible. πŸ’œ Even though honey is sold out for now, we do still have Pure Maple Syrup in stock and lots of other fresh jams and other goodies to hold you over. πŸ˜‹

I mean I would, but also I feel like that’s just kind of a debt and I strongly avoid taking on debt. You know like anything could happen between now and then, bear attack, tornado could wipe out the hives, I could drop dead tomorrow and then your sats are stuck in my cold storage 🀣
Thank you! What kind of videos would you like to see? I have thought about trying to make more content of the bees, when I’m doing give check ups, or during honey harvest, etc.
Good job! One question: is this all happening on a trust basis? i.e. I could zap you and never get anything delivered? It's working great in your case and in the tight nostr community, but I'm thinking whether this model could scale and what are the limitations to be overcome, thanks!
Yes, based on trust 🀝 Essentially it's the same when you go on a website, and purchase an item with a credit card. You are trusting the merchant to send out the item you paid for– But in that case you do have some protection via chargebacks if anything goes wrong. I think that's what makes the P2P economy so stong though– The element of trust, at least for me, means that I will absolutely go above and beyond to follow through on my end of the deal. It's my own personal repuation at stake, and I will do my absolute best to make sure I deliver the best product that I possibly can! I think it's the same for the other nastr/bitcoin-based merchants here. We're not anonymous amazon workers on the other end of some massive supply chain, sending out pacakges to someone they don't know on the other side of the world– We are humble people produding top quality goods for ourselves and our families that we also want to share with our community. 🧑
I will keep it in mind this season, as I tend to the bees and espeically when it comes time for next harvest 🧑
I realized after I posted this it's actually less than that, the order numbers are sequential, but there are some unfulfilled/cancelled ones in there too. And the avg order size is relatively small, most people buy a single jar or sometimes two. But it all adds up!! ⚑
You can just do things! πŸ’ͺ That's why we say #Bitcoin is permissionless, we don't need to ask anyone permission to be able to use it, spend it, accept it, etc. P2P for the win!
Make sense! I mean, everything stops working once a merchant stops being trustworthy so the game theory checks out

Well done, great to see guys!
Thanks! We ship anywhere but international shipping is really expensive πŸ˜” I wish we could send more international packs but postage sucks
US based. Yes we can definitely ship anywhere in the world but sadly international shipping costs are pretty expensive!
Totally agree with this. It’s literally β€œproof of work” in action. First impressions are everything in this regard. The trust comes from that very first interaction with the merchant. Are they responsive? Friendly? And the cherry on top - do they include a thank you note in the delivered package? If so, that’s a trusted merchant. They may not nail it every time due to particular circumstances, but you can bet they’ll come around and make it right.
