Got me another couple bricks 🧱
Another milestone hit 🎯
When are you getting your forever @bricktopians ?
English

I know n8n's monthly pricing is killing some startup founder's automation dreams.
I've watched too many smart founders:
- Get excited about n8n automation
- Hit the $20/month paywall for basic features
- Realize they need $100+/month for real workflows
- Give up and go back to manual processes
They were doing everything "right."
→ Building useful automations.
→ Connecting their tools.
→ Seeing real results.
But n8n's cloud pricing still has a fundamental problem:
It punishes you for usage.
→ You can build unlimited workflows: that's free.
→ You can add unlimited team members: that's free.
→ You can create unlimited steps: that's free.
But the moment your automations actually run?
That's when the meter starts spinning.
The more operations you execute, the higher the bill.
The more successful your automation becomes at doing its job, the more expensive it gets.
And here's what makes it worse:
Most people don't know there's a free alternative that's actually BETTER.
→ Self-hosting n8n gives you:
• Unlimited workflows (vs 5 on free plan)
• Unlimited operations (vs 5,000/month limit)
• Full feature access (vs restricted cloud features)
• Complete data control (vs trusting their servers)
• $5/month hosting cost (vs $20-100+ cloud pricing)
But everyone thinks self-hosting is "too technical."
The tutorials make it sound impossible:
"Just configure your Docker containers"
"Set up your reverse proxy"
"Configure your environment variables"
If you don't know what those words mean, you're stuck.
So you end up paying 10x more for cloud hosting while the solution that would save you hundreds sits right there, unused.
I went through this exact journey.
Paid n8n $100+/month for months before realizing I could run the same thing for $5.
And after finally figuring out the self-hosting setup…
I decided to document what should've existed from day one:
A complete n8n self-hosting guide written for business owners.
Everything you actually need to know.
In the order that makes sense.
• Simple self-hosting setup (no Docker confusion)
• Cost breakdown: $5/month vs $100+/month
• Getting started with your first workflows
• Core concepts in plain English
• Working automations you can deploy today
• Solutions to every setup roadblock I've encountered
If you're paying too much for n8n cloud, or you gave up on automation because of cost, this changes everything.

N8N's AI workflow builder creates complete workflows from one prompt in 60 seconds...
Sounds perfect until you try to run it.
I spent a week testing this on real client work to find out what actually works vs what's just hype.
The AI gives you a complete workflow structure - all the nodes, connections, and logic flow laid out perfectly.
But the second you hit "execute"?
Nothing works.
Missing credentials.
Field mapping errors.
Logic gaps.
This is either your biggest productivity unlock or your biggest time-waster.
The key is knowing exactly when to use it and when to build manually.
I just recorded a full training showing you:
- How to access the AI builder (it's built right into n8n now)
- The exact prompt structure that generates usable workflows
- What the AI nails (structure, connections, logic flow)
- What breaks immediately when you try to run it
- How to fix the errors live and make it production-ready
- Why this makes you FASTER, not replaceable
In the training, I build a real business workflow live.
In reality, you're not going from 2 hours to 60 seconds.
You're going from 2 hours to 20 minutes - the AI handles the scaffolding, you handle the finishing.
That's still a massive win.
Faster delivery = happier clients = more capacity for new projects.
But only if you know what you're doing.
The gap between $1K/month builders and $20K/month operators comes down to understanding when AI makes you productive vs when it makes you sloppy.

$DOG is in listing conversations with @coinbase 🧵
Coinbase's listing team has given me permission to share that they have received our $DOG spot listing application, that I have a direct communication channel with their listing team to review $DOG, and that we are being treated fairly in their new "Blue Carpet" listing process
I greatly respect the confidentiality of my listing conversations with all exchanges which means I do not share with the $DOG Army that there even is a conversation unless I am told I am able to
I make zero promises that any listing conversation will lead to a listing and have never before until now shared that a specific conversation even exists so that people do not get their hopes up
To be extremely clear a conversation does not mean a listing will happen and it just means that an exchange's listing team is taking the time to evaluate $DOG and provide feedback
Ultimately it is up to every exchange to decide for themselves if they will list $DOG or not
All I can do is represent the $DOG Army and the Free & Fair Movement to the best of my ability and try to provide exchanges with all of the technical resources necessary to integrate with Runes
In the case of Coinbase I have been one of their users for over 11 years and probably wouldn't be in crypto today had they not made it so easy for me to get onboarded to Bitcoin back then
Coinbase's leadership team has made their intention to eradicate the practice of exchanges charging listing fees very clear
The $DOG Army is equally committed to bringing an end to this exploitative business model that ultimately enriches insiders at the expense of retail and strongly aligns with the vision for more fair and transparent listing processes at all exchanges
As the most fairly launched memecoin ever that airdropped 100% of its supply for free in a volunteer initiative with no team allocation or treasury the $DOG Army understands better than any community the difficulty of getting CEX listings without paying off all of the gatekeepers who expect their cut
I strongly believe that Coinbase is one of the good guys in all of this so please be respectful to them and their employees as they are treating me with respect
