Application process
How long after you applied did you get confirmation that you’ve been approved?
I haven’t heard anything for a few days and looking to be accepted for the August intake.

Day 0 - Network School
Hey!! This is my Day 0 of Network school. I flew in from Chennai to Kula lumpur. Then I took a 5 hour bus ride from the airport directly to Johor Bahru. The buses were comfy they had 15 minutes break in between where you can take a leak and have something to eat. I booked a guesthouse so I can refresh and take rest after some restless nights for the past three days.

4Seas: A Third Space for a Third Culture
I spent time as the first Crypto Resident at 4Seas in Chiang Mai and wrote up some reflections on what struck me: how it functions more as an “embassy” model than a monastery, the deliberate openness (no gates, no membership fees), the blending of cypherpunk values with local Thai rhythms and Chinese diaspora experiences, and the emergent “third culture” that feels additive rather than extractive.
It touches on parallel construction, acculturation dynamics, and what it looks like when internet-first communities try to root themselves locally without becoming isolated bubbles.
Curious what others think about the embassy vs. monastery distinction in practice, or examples of other experiments trying similar integration.
