Pale Moon swag/memento
Well, I had planned to surprise all of you at the 12½ year anniversary of Pale Moon (which is this weekend) with making swag/a memento available for purchase, which would also help out the project with a small amount on top of recovering costs, but between the headaches of the cancelled v30, stress recovering from damages (still on-going) and now unforeseen delays shipping from the fulfilment centre where they are produced, I'm missing the deadline for it.
I wanted to do something earlier for the 10 year one but 2019 was a pretty bad year overall and it just didn't happen.
I'm hoping to get them soon, so I can show all of you what i planned to surprise you with on the anniversary.

Re: Pale Moon swag/memento
That sounds like a really nice idea. It's too bad that there were difficulties in shipping, etc.
I can definitely understand how all of this has been stressful. A lot of people wouldn't have persisted in the face of so many setbacks, so you deserve a lot of credit for pressing on.

Man, I'd like to pay for a Pale Moon-themed giant mug (if there are any), if it weren't for high shipping cost since I'm located in SEA region.

Maybe created a hoodie with 'wolf and blue moon' thing on it? Btw when did PM actually start (the exact date) and how was the development back then?

Re: Pale Moon swag/memento
Woah slow down I'm just one person; designing something "as an aside" to celebrate an anniversary doesn't mean I'm going to have a fully stocked merchandise shop with clothing and what not. Of course I could spend the time to work with an on-demand service like Redbubble to make those things but that really isn't something I've had time or opportunity for.
This will be a lot more humble of a thing; small and easy to ship anywhere. Since I'm in Sweden, mailing stuff out internationally that isn't a letter/fitting in a mail slot is very costly.

Re: Pale Moon swag/memento
Then make a love letter , thanking user for using PM over the years. Or even better create a hand-crafted images

Embroidered custom merit badges. Small, light weight to ship (envelope size) and you can buy your own hoodie/baseball/backpack/whatever and sew on. Could even become a series...

Re: Pale Moon swag/memento
Since you already make digital art..what about Pale Moon themed NFTs ?

Re: Pale Moon swag/memento
While it's really nice to read all your ideas (aside from the NFT one, sorry Moonbat!) and I might consider doing more in the future as a generic "Pale Moon swag" thing with some of these ideas that are feasible, I was just letting you all know that the one thing I have made (details to follow when the copies actually get here) is delayed due to first communication issues with the foundry and now the shipping from the fulfilment centre being just totally stuck abroad with nothing to do but wait.
Off-topic:
NFTs are a really, really, really bad idea, IMHO. The only reason you would want to consider NFTs is if you want to transfer rights to the artwork to someone else -- and I wouldn't want to do that. Even if you want to transfer rights, you should just do that in a legal agreement, not through some blockchain building on clouds that isn't in any way enforceable.
Then there's the fact that NFTs are just virtual tokens that only have as much value as what anyone decides it's worth on any given day. Combine that with leaning on super-wasteful PoW block chains and people using pump&dump scams, and you probably get the picture why I don't consider this in any way viable. You like my artwork? Then ask if you can buy a print and have something actually in your hands you can put on your wall. No need for crypto scams, no need for "gas fees" no risk that what you "bought" is suddenly worthless or that you have an exchange steal your stuff, and above all no need to cast doubt on who actually owns rights to the art.

Any chance of a brewer bottling a special "Pale Moon" run, not unlike a certain brewery of a few years ago that used to bear a verbatim label?

Re: Pale Moon swag/memento
Pity about the cost of carriage and, of course, the work in handling items. I'd really like a polo shirt with Pale Moon on it (I don't like t-shirts at all), but with so many sizes...
I suppose that if a good design were available I could have a couple made locally - expensive, but no hassle for anyone else.

"Pale Moon" is actually an existing beer.

You just upload your logo and they take care of putting it on shirts, mugs, etc. They do the shipping and collect the money, then send you your cut. I don't have any personal knowledge of them, but I have seen other sites use them with no problems that I have heard about. They will also work with you if you have your own site to promote your brand, but that's just for those that want to put more time into it.
