Proof of Work: AudioBook bridging the gap between Photography and Bitcoin

Ayy thank you very much. I appreciate that a lot

Over the past couple of months, I've been quietly working on something I never imagined I'd create: a book and audiobook.

It's a collection of thoughts and lessons drawn from over a decade of running NOICE Magazine, making photographs, curating the work of hundreds of photographers, and the rabbit hole that Bitcoin sent me down years ago.

Photography, curation, editing, attention, time, value, money - all of it seemed connected. I couldn't find a resource that tied these ideas together in a way that felt honest, practical, and easy to understand, so I decided to make it myself.

I call it **Proof of Work**

The book contains 30 chapters, an appendix, and a complete audio narration (3 hours worth) so you can listen, read, or do both at the same time. It's also paired with 30 of my own photographs - not as decoration, but as evidence. Proof of years spent walking, looking, paying attention, and making work simply because I find the absurdity and beauty of the world worth noticing.

There are several ways to access the book, but my favorite is the pay-per-chapter option. You can unlock each chapter individually with sats and move through it at your own pace. It feels aligned with the slower, more intentional nature of the material itself. Your unlocked chapters are saved across devices, and you can log in using the email associated with your first purchase.

If any of this sounds interesting, I'd be grateful if you'd give it a listen.

Share it with a friend if you find value in it. And if you happen to come across any bugs or issues along the way, let me know. Building something like this has been a learning experience, and your feedback helps make it better.

Every Saturday I try to round up the photographers of SN to share our work from the past week, or just all time favorites. Routine and community is key. Don't be shy, lets see it. 

Q: What camera have you been using lately?

I just shipped a free photo resize/compression tool for anyone who needs to batch shrink images fast, right in the browser. I built this because I kept running into file size limits when submitting photos, and most online tools either upload your images to a server (privacy risk), are full of ads, or just suck UX-wise.

This one is 100% client-side (your photos never leave your device), supports batch uploads, lets you set a target file size (presets or custom), and exports everything as a ZIP. You can rename files inline, and it works offline as a PWA if you want to "install" it. There's also a Lightning tip button if you want to support it, but it's totally free.

Would love feedback or bug reports. I built it for my own workflow but figured others might find it useful too.

A Better Way to Resize Photos - Now Live on NOICE

Never late my friend, appreciate you showing up!
Beautiful. I love the tones. Australia is a country I have yet to visit. Maybe one day soon

SATURDAY SHARE!!!

Every Saturday we round up the photographers of threads community to share our work from the past week, or just all time favorites. Don't be shy, lets see your proof of work.

Q: If there was a tool that could help you today in your photography workflow, what would it be?

I ask because I'm always building tools for myself and then sharing them. See the latest one I made, Matted (and yes, you can purchase with bitcoin): [https://noicemagazine.com/tools/matted](https://noicemagazine.com/tools/matted)

Design

NOICE Website Design Update

Thanks K! Appreciate that.
The trick to it is that I want them to display in particular 3, 5 or x6 rows, and it's tough to constrain them to that since each photo has a different frame ratio. I do like the negative space, but I will put it on the backburner for the next website iteration

Hey SN

Just updated a bit of the NOICE website: added GSAP animation support in the header area (give it a toggle)

and other slight animation on pages, and a new blog page with lightning tip support.

Give it a read, give it a zap, appreciate the support, insight and feedback!
