I haven't been as active on Warpcast the last few months because I've been busy at work + finally beginning work on /fieldway in the evenings when I'm not working on our house. I'll try to start sharing more here. For instance, did you know we now have push notifications available on coindesk.com? If you visit and see a pop-up asking if you want a notification, right now you'll get one a day. We're just testing atm, but I want to turn that off soon and set up more interesting ones like, "send notification when a story enters the 'hero' position of our leaderboard" and "send notification for breaking news," and maybe do some more targeted ones like, "send election-related story notifications to people who have clicked on election-related story notifications in the past."

I'm excited to announce that our new Price Page design is live. Some of the benefits you'll see on https://www.coindesk.com/price/bitcoin and similar pages include: * Simplified + full feature chart options * More asset info than we had before * A mobile-first design that loads faster than our old pages A nice benefit for us is improved SEO that, in testing, resulted in a significant increase in search impressions. More improvements will be coming in the form of additional data on these pages. I'm also evaluating a charting vendor that could provide us with some cool features.

I just wrote release notes for the last two weeks to share with Bullish and CoinDesk folks on Slack. I can't put the full set here, but I wanted to share a few: * Ad algorithm improvement to reduce ad density with the aim of having only 1 ad in view at a time, and on mobile, let people have a screen full of content with no ads. * The new price page template should launch in the next 1-2 weeks. Our initial tests show an increase in search impressions of 50%! Plus, they're sexier with more features. * We built some new geotargeting features that I'm pretty excited about. * We're testing some new solutions for translating content. * We're wrapping up design work for a new home page layout 🤘

There's some interesting nuance to Germany's sell-off of BTC that I wasn't aware of: https://www.coindesk.com/news-analysis/2024/07/09/its-not-germany-thats-selling-bitcoin-its-one-of-its-states-and-it-has-no-choice/?utm_medium=referral&utm_source=rss&utm_campaign=headlines * It's not the country of Germany that's been selling millions of dollars worth of bitcoin, but a small German state called Saxony. * The state confiscated almost 50,000 BTC in January and has been selling its holdings as per standard practice for assets seized during criminal investigations, an expert said.

I always work on CoinDesk during business hours and Fieldway outside of business hours, but I had hoped to take a bit of my lunch break and record a quick video for /fieldway to put on /drakula. Instead, I think I will be working through lunch because I've just got too much that needs to be delivered ASAP.

We're soft-launching a new Price Page template and a bug means that candles are always green. Stonks go up 💹

Our editor-in-chief has asked me to list RWAs on our site as part of our Price Pages. Is that something in which you are interested? Currently attending a panel on RWAs at /consensus-2024

Is this the type of thing you'd be interested in seeing? https://edge.coindesk.com/flash-waitlist I'm working on a survey and a snapshot of that waitlist. Get in now if you're interested.

If I created free Zora mints for CoinDesk things, like our roadmap or early product designs, is that something in which you would be interested? I've seen some publications offer mints of every story, and that seems a bit nonsensical to me. But if they're tied to future engagement opportunities, might be cool.
