Have I Been Known?

I've launched a couple of things on PH before and never got any traction. I never even made it close to being featured.

So this time around I reached out to hunters, as most of the articles I've read preach that you need to be hunted by someone with influence.

I finally got a response from a popular hunter, who had hunted many other bitcoin related products and have a passion for privacy.

His response simply read, "Hey Joshua - you don't need me to hunt you, it makes no difference who hunts you (I promise): https://blog.producthunt.com/how-to-launch-on-product-hunt-7c1843e06399 Best of luck on the launch!"

So I followed his advice, shared my PH post on Twitter, Linkedin, and two small Telegram communities I'm part of. Within two hours I was featured and made it to the homepage. At best I made it to the 12th spot and while it wasn't a raging success, with 5 hours and 22 minutes of the PH day to go, I've got 44 upvotes.

Best of all I've received loads of feedback from amazing bitcoiners, makers, and privacy pundits alike. That's it from me for today... I'm gonna go and brew a coffee and give myself a pat on the back.

Incremental progress feels good and I'm gonna stop being so hard on myself like I have with past projects. Especially considering this one is open source and completely free. Perhaps I'll offer up some merch or something down the track.
