I've been building web applications for ~15 years, with experience as a startup founder, full-stack engineer, and most recently as a technical product manager. I'm comfortable wearing many hats and am looking for a full-time salaried position to wear them in :)

Maybe this analogy would work:

Imaging a million haystacks with a million different keys scattered within them. There is a lock which only one of those keys can open; it is difficult to find the key, but when you do, anyone can easily verify it is correct by turning it in the lock. Once a key has been found, a new lock is created and the process starts again.

The more robots (mining power) you have to search for the key, the more likely it is that you will find it before competing machines do.

Have you seen https://www.makethunder.com/, thefalcon?

I've not used it, but it looks like it might help. Here's a demo video: https://vimeo.com/163751319 (warning: loud surf-rock soundtrack).

If your mattress has a tag in one corner, it becomes pretty simple to know which operation to perform next.

If, when facing the headboard, the tag is to your right, rotate; else, flip (on the roll axis).
