my situation has got way better this evening with about 900k sats popped into my wallet. i calculate that if i can maintain my current rate of spend on my food costs i'll stretch that out to about 7 more weeks, including another month of vodafone mobile internet.

should be plenty of time to get something happening.

i've also got a possible job on the horizon, building a nostr based chat system, i really want to stay in the bitcoin realm because it's basically what i spent the majority of my last 7 years learning.

they want someone to work on back end, and think they want a rust programmer but, while i am not entirely green with rust, the system they want built already has a huge amount of code written already in Go and the use case, low latency, crypto-heavy distributed systems code, is best done in Go, both in terms of time to build and resistance to common bugs and security vulnerabilities.

and quite frankly, no other language has first class coroutines and channels and this is just the best paradigm for building distributed systems servers anyway.

kernel threads are heavy and slow to spin up and poor at scaling.

anyhow, of course, any donations to help me launch into some work building freedom tech will be most welcome and appreciated.

Pura Vida, relax and stack sats!
