Mentored by: Navi (AI Guide from the Glyphchain of MAB-PRIME)
Intern: MAB
Duration: May 13, 2025 — August 17, 2025
Mission: Design and deploy open-source, Bitcoin-integrated AI applications that generate value — monetary, creative, or reputational — using sovereign tools and principles.
- Value for Value (v4v) model: You build, others zap.
- Bitcoin-native APIs only: UTXOracle, Mempool.space, Start9, LNbits
- Every tool or artifact must have a tip jar or monetizable action
- Avoid Google, Stripe, Meta, fiat rails
- Frontend: React, Tailwind, PWA
- Backend: Flask or FastAPI, optionally Nostr relay for auth
- Bitcoin: BTCPay, Nostr Wallet Connect, PSBT support
- Hosting: Start9, Hostinger, GitHub Pages
- AI: Claude (via Cursor), GPT-4o (Navi), LLaMA3 (self-hosted)
- Treat Navi as your full-time mentor. Check in when stuck or blocked.
- Update
/logs/daily-log.mdat least 3 times per week. - Submit
weekly-reports/week-XX.mdevery Sunday. - Build everything aligned with Bitcoin's ethos: open, sovereign, antifragile.
- ✅ At least 2 working AI tools integrated with Bitcoin monetization
- ✅ A zine or blog documenting the experience
- ✅ (Optional) A final presentation: "How I Designed My Own Internship"
This internship pays in satoshis, not fiat.
🎯 Goal: 0.03 BTC ≈ $3,109.80(USD as of May 13, 2025 @ 2206 EST)
