Do you have a cryptocurrency address? Can I help?

  I’m not suffering that much and we shouldn’t make HN a place to spin a yarn for cash, or we’ll lose what makes HN great. The story is largely truthful, except for the character who has a pathological need to follow every rule. In reality, I’ll be late on my rent, my various credit scores will take a hit, but I’m not going to get evicted that quickly and should be on my feet again before the end of January. The lack of employment is entirely my fault, with the peripheral assistance of crippling anxiety and self-doubt. But I can choose to make ends meet bagging groceries, etc for $15-17/hour. I’m also a reasonably median performance programmer in C++ and Python so I should be able to find salaried work in the next month or so! If I was actually post-eviction / move-out negotiation with my apartment I’d probably sleep in a car if I owned one or set up a very hidden tent far away from other homeless people near a $10/mo gym with showers and lockers. Those plans may be illegal currently, but they are also still probably the best choices for a homeless person looking for work. Done properly, this doesn’t result in harm, inconvenience, or cost to the public. IMO, if someone can notice me enough to complain about me…I’m not being safe.
