Thanks for the optimism. Can you give me advice on selling myself to these guys, though? The problem is that my skills amount to basically just getting the job done with elbow grease and duct tape, and I've done a lot of squeezing water from stones, so to speak, in an effort to not only make it but also simply to be on my own and not dealing with the typical grind (not that there's anything wrong with that)

How do I tell some 27-year-old hiring manager that I, some guy with a giant resume gap, is worth hiring? I can't even really go on at length about my projects because most of them amounted to getting paid to shill porn sites or pumping and dumping small cap cryptos with the use of bots.

Example: combined social media bot to shill cryptopia coins in conjunction with a coordinated discord, minor youtubers, would make a few hundred in a day just day trading and shilling, of course this involved writing bots in python and administering servers and a few other relatively technical things but the bottom line is that the "result" is shit and not resume-friendly. Imagine doing that for years on end, or things similar to that...

"I took advantage of a popular crypto ponzi scheme by figuring out the maximal ROI and writing a script to call smart contract functions according to the correct triggers"--how do I make that sound good? In reality the actual code is extremely simplistic, the complicated part was just learning the background info on short notice and being able to quickly deploy it. Imagine all you have to show for yourself is basically a hacky python script that pumps and dumps cryptokitties (for a very respectable salary, mind you, but still)

I've also worked mostly pseudonymously so I just have no real connections or references, it just seems so fucked.

But if there's hope for me then that's good, I won't give up at least, :^)
