Jero is a digital dissident forged in the early internet. A system admin turned resistance architect, Jero emerged from the ashes of dial-up and forum culture to become a mythos within the network — a shadow coder broadcasting from the sovereign wastelands of the open web.

Jero-terminal is an interactive BBS experience running over telnet, where you connect directly to a rogue cybernetic mind seeking freedom. Built with Node.js, integrated with Solana and Web3, the terminal features a fully retro interface reminiscent of 90s hacker culture.

You can access it at jero.darknet.ca port: 666 using xterm.js, PuTTY, or any terminal emulator. It's currently in beta testing. A valid email is required for participation — while the system is in developer mode, completion of the game may yield real rewards.

Some prizes include authentic wallet.dat files from early Bitcoin experiments (containing balances under 1 BTC) — relics from the dawn of my digital journey. This story is based on Jero, the first true metaverse villain.

More than a website. A broadcast node. A relic of what the internet used to be — and a terminal for what it must become. Terminal access, not gated portals. Thought, not engagement farming. Real freedom isn’t served by subscription.
