Replying to Avatar Currency of Distrust

I’ve grown very tired of working fiat jobs. Recently left a job I loved because things got very chaotic, got a new job and it’s not been going great.

I’m trying to think about how to pivot to focusing on more freedom tech. I’m an ok coder but working on improving. I want to explore building stuff on/for nostr, but I think I may also use my security knowledge to make contributions/find vulnerabilities.

Is anyone else here on nostr who does similar? I’m thinking of starting with apps that can be run by nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll, just because I think it’s such a cool project.

Lots of projects could use help just working on bugs and small improvements. You are unlikely to get paid, maybe if your lucky some randos will tip you some sats. Nonetheless it's a small commitment and it's a great way to get involved and build some familiarity with developing for nostr.

Just seek out the client you use or one you're interested in, usually on GitHub, and look through issues and contributing instructions.

Reach out to devs, their almost always extremely welcoming and excited to help onboard a contributor.

Oh ya absolutely. I’m not expecting to be able to earn an income on this kind of work any time soon. Maybe one day but in the meantime I can at least do something that feels productive and meaningful (and fight off the soul suckingness of the corporate world 😅)
