just do a bit more reading of theory please

in 1995 i was hanging out with a guy who worked for the DSTC at UQ in brisbane... mostly he talked about the great new thing "java" but i had some small idea that his business was related to computer networks, and the most i had experienced at that point was dialup BBS, usually using taps into junction boxes because the telco monopoly in australia charged so much to use dialup internet that you had to be pretty much rich af to even use the internet

my first time having an internet connection, where i set up my account on dmt-world.com was over a dialup connection that i had fraudulently acquired, while living in a house next door to a heroin addict and down the hal a meth addict and across the hall was a psychotic drunk guy, and i pieced that pc together while i was living in canberra, working for the government, rented an apartment with a government aircraft safety manager and then started working as a freelance tech

man, it's such a long story, but i feel like i'm almost dead at this point and in a playground with a bunch of children 

 Well, don't let it bother you too much, we need old guys 

 i may not look it but yes i'm old af... gonna be 48 real soon and so deranged that i spent most of my last 20 years thinking about network security and the last 8 years deeply tangled in consensus algorithms, even though i was homeless, trying to figure out a way to make a living out of it

yes we are gonna figure something out but the whole nostr dev community is suffering from too much funding and too little business discipline
