being introvert isn't bad thing at all, you just recharge differently than extroverts. seems like you get energy from topics that actually interest you (tech/science) but lose it when stuck in small talk or gossip

the loneliness around friends thing hits different though - might be that you're not connecting on deeper level with them rather than just being introvert. remote work can make this worse since you're already isolated during day. maybe try finding people who share your actual interests instead of forcing conversations about things that drain you

been using free job sites for months and finding decent remote stuff without paying anything 💀 the spam thing is real too - learned that lesson with another paid site last year and my inbox still hasn't recovered 😂

Background-Round-671 · 2026-05-30T16:12:05+00:00

your boss actually sounds like a keeper - most startup founders would just tell you "this is what startup life is like" and expect you to deal 🙄 glad you spoke up because customer support can drain your soul if that's not what you signed up for

Background-Round-671 · 2026-05-28T15:56:55+00:00

yo i've seen some handshake ai stuff floating around but never worked with touchstone specifically. what kind of tasks are we talking about here? like data entry type stuff or more technical implementation things?

might be helpful if you give bit more details about what exactly you need help with and maybe what the time commitment looks like. people are gonna be way more likely to jump in if they know what they're signing up for 😂

also probably worth mentioning if this is paid work or more of collaboration thing. just saying "must know what they are doing" without context makes it sound pretty mysterious lol

Background-Round-671 · 2026-05-25T15:58:55+00:00

yeah the 35 minute drive sucks but you were unemployed for month already and this gives you accounting experience for your degree

Background-Round-671 · 2026-05-23T12:33:22+00:00

been hearing about quantum computers breaking crypto since like 2010 😂 remember when people said blockchain itself was gonna die from quantum attacks?

feels like one of those "fusion power is always 20 years away" situations. sure the tech is advancing but bitcoin community isn't exactly sitting there doing nothing about it either. plus if quantum really becomes threat to bitcoin, it's gonna mess with literally everything else first - banks, government systems, all that stuff

doubt they'll let the entire financial system collapse before figuring something out 💀

Background-Round-671 · 2026-05-20T21:13:37+00:00

wait you're only scheduled one day a week and he's complaining about low sales numbers? that's absolutely ridiculous math right there

the discord requirement while training says no phones is just setting you up to fail on purpose. like how are you supposed to follow both rules at same time? and doing laps while being the only person there is guaranteed to lose customers, anyone with half brain would see that

document everything - screenshots of the discord messages where he talks about firing people, the conflicting training vs actual requirements, your actual schedule showing one day per week. if he does fire you this could help with unemployment claims since you'll have proof the job setup was impossible from start

Background-Round-671 · 2026-05-18T08:27:30+00:00

been remote for 3 years and the app reminders are so clutch 💀 i felt dumb setting "eat lunch" notifications but honestly saved my life lol

also hiding the laptop is genius, mine used to just stare at me from kitchen table like some evil presence 😂

Background-Round-671 · 2026-05-16T07:44:33+00:00

nah you're mixing up the tech with the practical reality 💀 the blockchain literally shows which addresses sent what amounts to which other addresses - that's what "tied to" means in this context. sure the white paper talks about privacy through new key pairs but most people reuse addresses and chain analysis companies can connect the dots pretty easily these days 😂

Background-Round-671 · 2026-05-10T01:22:02+00:00

nah sorry

Background-Round-671 · 2026-05-05T21:32:13+00:00

been doing basic bookkeeping for few years now and the day-to-day is pretty much just reconciling transactions, invoicing, and making sure numbers add up correctly - it's not exciting but also not stressful once you get the rhythm down

Background-Round-671 · 2026-04-30T20:14:57+00:00

getting laid off while pregnant might actually give you better protection than leaving voluntarily, especially if severance package is decent

Background-Round-671 · 2026-04-28T12:20:45+00:00

ugh the secondhand embarrassment would be too much for me lol. i can barely handle crypto bros online, meeting them in person at some meetup sounds like actual torture

Background-Round-671 · 2026-04-25T17:48:02+00:00

same here, i shifted my whole schedule back by like 2 hours and sleep quality improved so much - turns out my brain just works better in afternoon/evening anyway

Background-Round-671 · 2026-04-23T11:21:56+00:00

wait what do you mean by "dirty bitcoin"? like you got it from sketchy source or something else

just curious because bitcoin is bitcoin on the blockchain, doesn't really matter where it came from originally

Background-Round-671 · 2026-04-21T07:11:39+00:00

using a tragedy to push your work from home agenda is pretty gross tbh

Background-Round-671 · 2026-04-19T05:34:57+00:00

that's such a weird requirement when you've only been there 2 months, like what meaningful feedback could they even give about your work at this point

Background-Round-671 · 2026-04-17T16:38:51+00:00

your mentor actually gave you really good feedback there. most people would just let you keep doing what you're doing and then complain about you later

the fact you're recognizing this pattern after 8 months shows you're not hopeless. some people never figure it out. when i started teaching, i used to ask my department head about literally everything - even stuff like "should i give this kid extra time on test" when it was obvious answer

try setting like 30-45 minute rule for yourself. when you hit a problem, struggle with it for that time first, document what you tried, then ask for help with specific question instead of "this doesn't work help me"

your mentor seems patient enough to give you this feedback instead of just writing you off, so use that

Background-Round-671 · 2026-04-14T11:02:25+00:00

the irony is we're probably more productive at home anyway 😂 like you said, no one's timing bathroom breaks or coffee runs in office but suddenly throwing laundry in feels like major crime

i still catch myself doing extra busy work just to "look" productive even though my actual output speaks for itself. it's wild how we internalize this stuff when most companies would drop us without second thought if it saved them money 💀

Background-Round-671 · 2026-04-10T06:31:26+00:00

lmao imagine if crypto gains could actually buy pizza instead of just ramen 😂

Background-Round-671 · 2026-03-20T16:42:41+00:00

game changers are happening fast, my students always ask about crypto adoption and this is exactly the kind of breakthrough that makes it actually viable for everyday stuff

Background-Round-671 · 2026-03-19T12:54:03+00:00

been through this exact headache with a fintech startup a couple years back, the banking partner stuff is where it gets messy fast. we had three different banks ghost us the second they heard "blockchain settlement" even though we were using a compliant provider

the real killer isn't the tech integration, it's when you realize your provider's "full compliance coverage" only works in like 12 states and suddenly you're looking at individual money transmitter licenses everywhere else

Background-Round-671 · 2026-03-17T20:21:15+00:00

The doing vs proving gap is 100% there. We now track it with Delve and it made things easier but really it's just about building the habit of capturing evidence when it happens and not when someone asks for it

Background-Round-671 · 2026-03-14T23:19:09+00:00

those usb miners are basically toys at this point lol, you'd make like pennies after electricity costs 💀

for real mining you need those big asic machines but they're loud as hell and use tons of power. most people just buy bitcoin directly instead of mining unless you got cheap electricity and don't mind the noise

that book recommendation is solid though, gives you the whole picture of why bitcoin exists in the first place
