due.box

I built an app that takes your money when you miss your own deadlines. Here's why. due.box/resources/why-…

every accountability tool has a free option: doing nothing the one that works puts a price on it

the entire self-help industry is built on motivation behavioral economics proved 50 years ago that loss aversion is 2x stronger than motivation we just keep ignoring it because "believe in yourself" sells better than "put $20 on it"

@Leentynstech appreciate the support, seriously

@_duebox is basically providing something simple, holding yourself accountable, and making it real with technology. If you set a goal, put money on the line, and it’s enforced on-chain. If you don’t follow through, you actually lose it. That’s a different kind of motivation.

@Rhocrypt it's on the list. you're the third person to ask so it's happening soon

@_duebox Crate a telegram community

accountability partners don't work because the social contract is "we both agree to be lenient" nobody wants to be the friend who says "you owe me $50 now" that's why you need something that doesn't care about your feelings

the gap between who you think you are and who you actually are is measured in missed deadlines sorry

@DayveedChigozie @Leentynstech more like financial accountability. you pick the amount so it stings just enough to make you think twice before hitting snooze

@Leentynstech @_duebox So… are we talking emotional bankruptcy if I snooze my goals again? 😅

Most apps try to motivate you. That’s why they don’t work. The real shift? Making failure cost you. That’s what @_duebox is getting right. More soon. 👀 #utility #comingsoon

@Basedclinton1 @Leentynstech exactly. you choose the amount, so it's whatever hurts enough to keep you honest. the point isn't punishment, it's making the cost of quitting real instead of invisible

@_duebox @Leentynstech Loosing money is my consequences?

@Basedclinton1 @Leentynstech check out due.box/resources if you want to see how it works under the hood

@Leentynstech @_duebox Interesting… but what counts as ‘failure’ here? Asking for a friend 😏

programmable money was supposed to change everything so far it's mostly been used for: trading other money, lending money, and creating new money to trade what if we used it for something weird, like actually keeping promises

@Leentynstech couldn't have said it better

@_duebox People don’t change when they’re reminded. They change when it costs them not to

your to-do app when you skip a task: "moved to tomorrow :)" your calendar when you miss an event: quietly disappears your credit card when you miss a payment: hits your credit score guess which one actually changes behavior

@Leentynstech exactly why we built it

@_duebox If it’s easy to ignore, it won’t change you. That’s the difference

every habit app has the same problem: you can just close it. there's no consequence for ignoring the reminder. that's not accountability, that's a suggestion

you don't need another app to track your habits. you need something real to lose if you don't follow through

@Leentynstech you'll be first to know

@_duebox Will be there!

Beeminder charges your credit card. stickK sends money to charity. We use ERC-20 allowance - your USDC stays in your wallet until you fail. No custody. No chargebacks. Just consequences.

prediction markets let you bet on other people's outcomes. we let you bet on yourself. put USDC on your own deadline, miss it and you lose it

Q1 is almost over. Count how many goals you set for this quarter that you actually finished. Now imagine if you had real money riding on each one.

@sunnymaanz @SP3NDdotshop love this series. for a future day try due.box - it's a self-imposed accountability app where you put your own USDC on your deadlines to make sure you actually follow through

every day I use a different dApp until we're back at ATH (day 20 ft. @SP3NDdotshop)
