 Hello frens, guten Tag and buenos diaz.
For the second time after gossip fucked me over.
German sperg with MS and Trigeminal Neuralgia here who fled indefinate welfare dependence by leaving for southamerica with 500€, not knowing a word of spanish and no plan other than to #LiveFreeOrDie.
Nobody wouldve expected me to ever get off of welfare with those disabilities. But i am slowly learning spanish (would be quicker if i could afford a vehicle, living 6km out of town in an allready sparsely populated area, and in summer (which is now) walking to town in the daytime at  45°C is not feasable.

I have so far survived nearly 2 years, though recently a few things fell through and i am a bit on hard time, looking for more work as a coder (or in theory anything that can be done remotely, and, yes, i allways wanted to do more than i currently am) but ill post about that another time.

 Hi Heiner, and welcome to #nostr!

Just checking your addresses... 🤓

▶️ #Nostr address (NIP-05)
❌ You have an incorrect pubkey set for heiner in your nostr.json 🥺

Current nostr.json: {"names":{"Heiner":"npub1dvqpa4g3g8yzrarqfqufpvgcmk44uy8659sz9a96zqraqk94fugsuqugen"}}

Correct nostr.json: {"names":{"heiner":"6b001ed51141c821f460483890b118ddab5e10faa16022f4ba1007d058b54f11"}}

Please correct it yourself or contact your nostr address provider 😊

▶️ #Lightning address (LN address)
❌ You haven't set a lightning address in your profile yet 🥺 Setting a lightning address allows anyone to zap you some #sats (bitcoin). An easy option for beginners to get a lightning address is the Wallet of Satoshi lightning app 😊

Once you've fixed your addresses, just post a note including #checkmyaddy and I'll check them again for you! 👌 I'll also send you some sats ⚡️

 Well, the NIP-05 is fixed, dont know if the LN works. #checkmyaddy 
 Have you got a LN address yet? 
 I believe i do. Just set my lud16 accordingly. #checkmyaddy 
 I'm German and I live in Paraguay. Hit me up, if you think I can be helpful. 
 Thanks, like, im mostly looking for work really at the moment. I dont know if locally would be any good options, because, i dont have a vehicle so even getting to the nearest town is an act. Plus, i dont speak spanish well. I can read it to some extend and am learning but... 
 Working as a programmer in Paraguay gives you 10m GS per month max. Wouldn't recommend, they pay really bad. You have to find something remote or build up your own company. 
 That is what i am hoping to do. Though at this point just reliably having enough to survive on would be an improvement. 
 I wish I could help with that, but I don't have anything I could recommend work related. Where do you live? I'm near the capital if you want to meet some day. 
 Im near Filadelfia.

 In Chaco? That's far!!! 😂😅 
 Yes, it is. Paraguay doesnt look big on a map because of the way we impose the 3 dimensional sphere on a 2 dimensional sheet of paper, but that is quite a distance, yes. :) 
 Sorry can't visit you anytime soon then 😂. But if you're around, don't hesitate to ping me. 
 Might have to go to the capitol when renewing my Cedula. It was made easier to get the first time but that first is then only valid 2 years rather than 10. But its still some time away.  
 Actually, i dont expect to reach the 80 M₲ a year in 2025 even in income (much less profit) to pay taxes. 
This month was paticularly bad so not even paying my medicine and rent is... difficult. Of course, i cant work full time from that little, the "semiautomatic washing machine" i have is barely better than handwashing, kinda includes rinsing it out under the fresh water running in at the end, i couldnt afford a vehicle yet and so on, so... 
 But currently i have to way to little work. And by the time i have enough, im gonna be fine to get an actual washing machine so ill have more time for more work and so on. 
 If you know of anyone who has any espacially remote work, that would help...
