The short version

I'm trying to buy back days. Every day I'm not on a job site is a day I can spend building — on my own projects, and increasingly on other people's. That's the whole ambition. Not a lambo, not an exit. Days.

What I actually build

Infrastructure, mostly. The unglamorous kind that other people get to use without thinking about it.

• Doginal Dog — a marketplace for Dogecoin inscriptions and DRC-20 tokens, built because the incumbent shipped an empty JavaScript shell and I thought the space deserved something that actually loads and can actually be found.
• A pile of Dogecoin projects — a non-custodial wallet, a Bible-verse inscription mint, a 250-piece challenge-coin collection for the skilled trades, an adoption shelter for unwanted inscriptions. I built them and I keep them running.
• A 24/7 X Space — a radio station that doesn't sleep, running on the same box as everything else.
• Whatever a friend needs hosted. If you're a friend and you need a thing to exist on the internet, it exists on my box.

The part nobody puts on a landing page

That last one costs money. Servers, domains, mail, storage, API keys, the odd on-chain fee — it averages hundreds of dollars a month, and I subsidise essentially all of it. Nobody who uses my infrastructure gets an invoice. That's a deliberate choice and I'd make it again, but it's paid for out of a working man's paycheck, not a treasury.

I keep it running because I said I would. Projects I've shipped, I maintain. That matters more to me than shipping the next one.

Family, and why the honesty isn't a marketing angle

I have a three-year-old who has her own app on a locked-down tablet — counting, letters, cartoon animals, no internet permission, because I built it that way on purpose. I have a household that runs on a budgeting app I wrote. My kid's going to be able to read this site one day.

That's genuinely why ZOLTAN's disclosure page leads with everything I could do to you rather than burying it. I'd rather build something small and straight than something big I'd have to explain later. The whole point of this token is that the dangerous configuration is on the table, face up, with my name on it.

Why crypto at all

Because it's a genuinely interesting engineering problem and it's fun. I like that the ledger doesn't care who you are. I like that you can verify a claim instead of trusting a press release — which is exactly what the verify page is for. And I like that a person with a day job and a decent VPS can build something real.

Building this is the most fun I have all week, and every hour of it is an hour I would rather be doing than overtime.

• This token, live — watch the authorities get revoked when they do. No announcement needed; the chain will just say so.
