â–¡Base Batches application (Startup Track)
Deadline: March 9. $10K grant for top 15, $50K for top 3. You fit perfectly: pre-seed, on Base, deployed contracts. Fill out Devfolio today - at minimum complete all text fields. Video can come later this week.

â–¡File unemployment
Missed 2 cycles = ~$1K lost. Takes 15 minutes. Do before anything else.

â–¡Send Moiz the agent repo/cookbook link
Quick text. Keeps momentum. The cookbook update is already running in Claude Code.

â–¡Record 1-min founder intro video for Base Batches
Unlisted video. Cover: who you are (Aztec PM, ran NoirHack, Denota Labs $500K raise), what Proofwell does (onchain screen time accountability via staking on Base), why it matters.

â–¡Deploy Proofwell contracts to Base mainnet (or have testnet demo polished)
Currently on Base Sepolia with 56 passing tests. A mainnet deployment would strengthen the app significantly.
Proofwell status + Base Batches
â–¡Research other crypto grant deadlines
Coinbase X402 use cases, other L2 grant programs. You said in the convo: "a lot of crypto protocols have tens of millions in grant capital." Identify 3-5 more you can apply to.
Moiz convo
â–¡Apply for credit card (Chase Freedom Flex or similar)
Moiz needs cash runway. You discussed this as the best option vs. personal loans. Simple app, no APR if paid within intro period.
Moiz convo - for Moiz, but flag to him
â–¡Get 5 friends to do the $50 screen time challenge
Your critical validation test. This is the thing you keep deferring. Both convos acknowledged the pattern of avoiding putting yourself out there.
Proofwell validation strategy
â–¡Fix iOS app bugs / consider full rewrite
You said: "the code is all thought to - it's so buggy. I just need to do maybe a full rewrite." Decide: patch or rewrite. Don't leave it in limbo.
Moiz convo
â–¡Study competitor features from "all screen time" and similar apps
"Everyone has all screen time that's really good in showing you different features and I think all of these features I get to copy." Do a focused teardown.
Moiz convo
â–¡Set up distribution / marketing automation
Both convos flagged this. Moiz: "nothing is happening right now" re: distribution. You discussed automating Twitter/social posts via agent. Start with r/nosurf outreach.

â–¡Let cookbook update finish (already running)
Tiros Cookbook Update terminal is active. Let it complete, review the output, then share with Moiz and Sean.

â–¡Share Engram MCP with Moiz and Sean
Semantic search over previous conversations/work. You want to test if it's useful for others. Currently running on Manjaro GPU.

â–¡Fix meta-task loop in agent pipeline
Agent keeps finding infra issues and prioritizing them over actual Proofwell tasks. Anti-drift guardrails partially in place but still gets stuck.
Moiz convo
â–¡Evaluate GitHub Issues vs. JSON task queue
Mauro suggested this. Offloads storage, gives you a UI, and integrates with PR workflow naturally.

â–¡Help Moiz get OpenClaw running on his Mac Mini
He wants Claude Code to SSH in and set it up. Point him to the cookbook when it's ready.
Moiz convo
â–¡Help Mauro with tracker + accountability bot architecture
Two ideas: (1) text-based tracker → DB → visualization, (2) proactive reminder bot. Both on OpenClaw. He's learning - give him the minimal viable path.
Mauro convo
â–¡Research SXSW crypto/AI events and sign up
Moiz is in Austin. Crypto + AI intersection is where the action is. Look for side events, not just main conference.
Moiz convo
â–¡Follow up with people from ETHDenver
The blunt buy networking guy, the OpenClaw/infra person. You said you'd follow up.
Moiz convo
â–¡Plan visit to Austin (get ChargeBoost back from Moiz)
Coordinate around SXSW timing if possible.

â–¡Self-hosted model cost analysis
AWS Bedrock pricing for Qwen 2.5 or similar for ~10-20 users at $20-30/mo each. Also: Venice AI, Ritual as crypto inference alternatives.

â–¡Privacy pass-through layer for Cirel
Cryptographic anonymization for using frontier models with sensitive journal data. Use best models but they don't know who you are.
Mauro convo
â–¡Sean's prompt templating pattern
Templatized prompts for adding new services/platforms. This is "what programming is now." Apply to your own agent pipeline.
Moiz convo
â–¡Look into oxidative stress mitigation for amphetamines
Moiz flagged mushroom drinks / adaptogens. Not urgent but worth a quick search.
