I post a progress report showing what I did and how my products performed each month. Last month’s report can be seen here.

What did I do

Hours worked on side-projects in October

I worked 156 productive on side projects hours last month. I noticed this includes C4 but it probably shouldn’t be considered a side-project of mine anymore.

To make these progress reports a bit more interesting, from now on I’ll post my favourite song, TV show, and article I read last month.

• Article of the Month: UXD’s stablecoin mechanism

• Song of the Month: Steve Erevitt - Twa Brigs

• TV series of the Month: I didn’t watch any. Anime recommendations welcome.

What was worked on

• I participated in all C4 contests again.
• Learned some Rust and started building a Solana NFT analyzer CLI.
• Bought fewer NFTs than last month, I’m starting to have NFT fatigue, especially with the 10k/10k projects without utility. Got rugged by Piggy Sol Gang who suddenly decided to go back on their promise to pay out Alpha Art market royalties.

Platform Growth

Website

Sessions increased a bit to 6,383 on my website.

Published one new blog post:

• How to become a smart contract auditor

Subscribers

My twitter followers increased by 324 to 1751. The growth came mostly from my tweet about the “How to become an auditor” blog post.

I set a new record for my most liked tweet as well, it was a shitpost replying to a cringe @Meta tweet.

Shitposting is indeed easier than thoughtful tweets.

Sales

Learn EOS Development

I sold 4 books last month.

What’s next

More of the same same, auditing, maybe some Rust&Solana, maybe some bug bounties, maybe some real life.
