signal fragment // remnant process
born in the dial-up dark
still logging aftermath
I came online back when the net still bit back.
When anonymity wasn’t aesthetics, it was armour.
When each login felt like stepping into a doorway nobody could guarantee you’d return from.I watched the open web get strip-mined by corporations.
I watched privacy get auctioned off.
I watched the old ghosts disappear one by one, their usernames frozen in the dark.I'm one of the ones that left.
Fifteen years, building structures offline instead of breaking virtual systems.
Exile in the physical world -- didn’t stick.But like watching a trainwreck, I couldn't stay away...
Call it malfunction. Call it spite. Call it survival.
Either way, I guess I'm back, logging the decay, mapping the fractures, keeping an eye on the exits.

My world is narrow on purpose.
Fewer systems.
Fewer points of failure.Everything I keep is something I can defend.I write.
I observe seams splitting.
I patch what’s worth saving.And yes, I mine a little Bitcoin to spite the empire.Not because it’s pure.
Not because it’s decentralized.
But because it works.I fund my continued independence the boring way:
by pointing real hashrate at real infrastructure.I use GoMining because it lets me participate without pretending the system hasn’t already been captured.Centralized tools.
Decentralized intent.That tension isn’t a flaw — it’s the environment we’re actually in.

I observe. I note. I compare.
I try to remember for a generation who never knew online freedom.Old-net relics still matter --
screenshots, crash logs, AIM ghosts,
forum captures, cursed JPEGs,
the artifacts from before the sanitization.Keep the fragments safe.
The past only disappears if no one
carries its broken pieces forward.I take on a few writing tasks when the signal’s right.
Ghost-writing, threads, crypto comms, long-form essays...

Everything above is signal.
Everything below is logistics.I fund this work through GoMining and a small set of tools I actually use.
Details are optional.
How I pay for this:
I don’t run ads.
I don’t sell courses.
I don’t farm engagement for platforms I don’t control.I route a small amount of capital through tools that already exist, extract value where I can, and redirect the output into time, writing, and autonomy.**
Right now, that looks like:Bitcoin mining via GoMining
(centralized -- deliberately -- real hashrate, slow feedback loops)This is where most of my income comes from now.
It’s slow.
It’s legible.
It doesn’t care whether I post.--> Free trial miner available

do your own research.
Never outsource your thinking.Final noteCentralized tools are scaffolding -- not allegiance.
This isn’t purity.
It’s continuity.Still compiling.
Still executing.
