We started because jack and I had a good conversation on a boat & both of us were broke. he'd been building miniapps on fc for months without anyone paying attention. I wanted to help change that. He was nice. I'd spent 6 months on FC, building a small following and beginning to work on product ideas. I was near the end of the line though: it had been a good experiment, but id been paying everyone but myself and by Oct I'd run out of $. Jack needed a job too, in fact he was applying to jobs already - I wrote a rec for him and dmed it to Jesse the week prior. Almost out of time... We decided to spend a week together working in person at my moms empty office (RIP broad st, gone but not forgotten) with the goal of shipping a standalone product by Friday. When we had a demo built out, we set a $ goal for the project: $2,000 would be a "win" and we'd continue working. Don't believe me? Here's our whiteboard, I did the math by hand. Clanker has generated $34m in fees to date, less than a year later.

I lost money building proxy. Do you think it was a scam because of what you've read about me? Or because of some evidence you have that I extracted $, or did something malicious? it was never a scam. I worked on the project for 6 months without pay - eventually, every single contributor that I'd started the project with stepped aside to pursue other opportunities. I stayed and tried to make it work as long as i could Post clanker, I nearly found a dev interested in taking on proxyswap. It did not work out, they needed guarantees. I didn't scam, but I was the only person that wanted to work on it without a guaranteed monthly salary. And so that's where proxyswap is today. Wanna work on it? You're free to. It's basically just the brand and the contracts and the $20-30k in the safe. dl3 failed. I'd recommend starting by making relationships with devs, then building a product from scratch, no taking any $ ofc and you need to pay collaboraters fairly. Thats what I tried Come on, do it (you won't)

I'm not judging you solely off your past. Even though stealing team funds is shady AF. I would never steal any money that's not mine but just have different morals. $proxy however I came across because of $clanker early on. And maybe it was my ignorance at fault. I was aware you were building both and thought proxy was undervalued and had something going forward. I didn't know you were pouring money into something that was going nowhere. Why did Jack kick you out? And howcome you went hiding after that online and just thought people would slowly forget?

Proxy was one of my biggest losses. I poured a ton of money and capital into it , over 50% of my wallet’s balance. Why? Because I believed you. Not trying to guilt trip you with this, quite the opposite! I didn’t know you personally, but I believed in your work and expertise.(We met in a conversation with agu bro in the first day of moxie launching if you remember ) Plus, the money I put into Proxy came from the profits I made through Clanker, thanks to you. So, in the end, we’re square. :) When the Proxy drama went down, two things were on my mind: one, how much this felt like déjà vu, and two, what’s gonna happen to my Proxy holdings? 😆 (I sold them at a super low price right then.) But honestly, I’ve always admired you. At the very least, what I’ve always respected in people is owning their work, right or wrong ,it doesn’t even matter. And to me, you never owed anyone an explanation.
