The "Uncle Jim" model looks like a pretty dumb idea looking back.
I never got to it, I was always uncomfortable with this model. Perhaps it's for a very narrow group of people.
I'm not one if them.
So I just created a website that is pure PoW to complete and directed everyone interested towards that. A good decision looking back.
I start it along the lines of "self custody is hard whatever anyone told you. It requires enduring effort."
The "AnYOne Can wriTE dOWn 12 wORds" crew should be ashamed.
The "here's my 15 steps tutorial" people should be ashamed.
And we need to rethink all of this really hard.
