There is something magic in writing your thoughts and goals on paper, true.
In my strong building phase, i wrote down everything in a notebook, (cheap paper and pen though) - the main goal on the first page so i have to see it every day - and eventually reached or overreached almost all of them.
Also pinning paper notes on the wall behind your computer is a simple but incredibly powerful tool.
Will check whats special about foundation pen.

Thanks man, it is super fun and addictive. Finally something takes care of all the crap in software development i dont want to deal with anymore and i can focus on the important stuff.
Need to try that pen and paper thing one day!

In the last 3 months i used Venice.ai a lot - and what did i do with it?
- replaced all chrome/brave extensions with own, custom versions (no spyware anymore)
- created a extension which analyzes the images of properties on booking / airbnb so i can say: "i want an apartment with 2 desks in separate rooms, a bathtub and a nespresso machine" and it gives me only properties which match that.
- created a extension which maps proeprties of a crappy paraguayan real estate website on a map for better research.
- created an extension which filters all posts on x with ai and removes everything i dont want to see (war, gossip, time waster content) and it limits my time on X each day to 30min
- re built an amiga game (cannon fodder) with three.js (50% done)
- configured and fixed a ton of probs on my vps
- built an multi ai voice chat app so i can have voice conversations with any model and save the conversations to continue later
- built an android app which limits my phone screen time and i can extend time / unlock the phone by doing push ups, sit ups or squats (in frontn of the camera, it counts the repetitions)
and played with short videos with Sora, analyzed documents etc.
And i paid nothing for the compute as i had $diem staked.
Venice.ai is the most exciting project at the moment for me. The only thing missing is Monero support. :)

Many countries require you to have a tax id from another country else you can not get out of your home countries tax system. For them it is a low price to pay imo.
Other countries do not require that, I do not have a residency since 12 years and i did not miss it so far.

Most people get the residency for tax benefits but spend their time somewhere else imo. Paraguay has pretty good quality of life but i would not want to spend the whole year there. Costa Rica is kind of a paradise - but i would not want to spend the whole year there either. Europe is fantasic - but also not for the whole year ... 😉

2026-03-03 12:44:53 UTC

- reply

I do not criticize the people who built Bitcoin Jungle, they are awesome and they did a fantastic job with adoption in CR. Huge respect!
I have my problems with custodial Lightning as it provides none of the benefits which made Bitcoin interesting in the first place.
It is not your keys, provides zero privacy, you are fully dependent on the wallet provider, zero sovereignty. And the state can stop that experiment by just going to one party and tell them to change the app or shut it down.
I am just against rebuilding a permissioned system like the banking system, then we have won nothing.
Pura Vida :)

yea they do. with medium size amounts mostly they end up being around 0.5% of the transferred value, can be a lot higher though depending on the channels to the recipient

the fee does not stay the same when you send bigger amounts.

yea, all models hosted by themselves are free. to use big tech models you need to pay credits which you either buy or get for free when you stake $diem

2026-02-16 15:58:42 UTC

- reply

it does not accept monero, which sucks.
but you can buy 100 $VVV tokens with btc/eth, then you dont have to pay a monthly subscription fee for pro. you can pay the pro subscription with btc as well.
and you can buy $diem for credits with btc / eth too.
It is not perfect and i dont like it does not support monero but you can buy credits without kyc or fiat that way.

Or just bury your head in the sand for another 8 years and watch BTC die because it becomes irrelevant.

Serious question: How successful can a resistance be with a public, transparent ledger where the states know who has how much and who transacts with whom?
To me that sounds like a naive dream. We need strong privacy if we want to stand at least a small chance of resisting.
You are long enough in BTC to know that it was always "the plan", to adopt successful technologies from other chains - including privacy. But nothing happened.
And no, lightning is not a solution.
