Yeah for sure. Hard to find time atm with becoming a new father, building this biz and working on FOSS tooling. Happy to DM though and chat & hopefully find a time.

Inspiration came from having previously worked at an exchange, teaching the team self custody. Then the clients, setting up their self custody documentation and helping with their website and e-commerce store. I saw many pain points.

That led to me wanting to start something with nostr:nprofile1qqstm84k2lp9knmvmf5gw88zvfvar7duvfpqfplryfystdn55ug2gkspz4mhxue69uhhwmm59ehx7um5wgh8qctjw3usz9mhwden5te0dehhxarj9enx6apwwa5h5tnzd9aqw98s86 - Sovereign University is what we were going to call it, where people came to us as a retreat and would help people self custody there amongst other Bitcoiner activities… but alas, he was set to create Vora with Jessie.

I then started working on Seed-e - a non-kyc backup key market place where you could buy BIP 32 xPubs via lightning on a reputational basis.. I will bring that idea back into the fold later.

For now, it was where does structured yet configurable tutorials (how, not why) intersect with concierge (butlers time) and an e-commerce store.

I saw all the previous pain points for a singular company to do this, let alone a pleb who wanted to offer this.

I had applied at a few companies that provide some of these services, but didn’t get what I was after. So I decided to compete and make the platform for the butlers by making the tool that I wanted for me.

All in the hopes of making self custody configurable, as straightforward as possible, convenient and affordable. It was a long time coming and pulls from a lot of lessons learnt.

Hold up hold up!!! I think I am putting a face to the name... Did we hang out in ES a few days with Eric and Jesse and Austin?

It really rubbed me the wrong way that you guys kept calling your project Sovereign University the whole time lol 😂 after I had told Erik I've owned that domain name for 11 years and a bunch of other sovereignty names since that's been my personal path and what's been germinating to get built and then he messaged me some weeks later to ask if I'd sell it. I told him it's unlikely. That was before we met in ES and the whole time you guys talked about your project using my own project's name 😤 and then months later I met with Jesse and he asked me again on behalf of you... so I got to vent about it. I'd assume he delivered the message. I am really glad you moved on. 😆

I am excited for what you are building and congrats on the baby!!! 🫂💖☺️
