Imho the operating systems we use aren't adequate. No single user is 100% accountable for what he/she does on the network. I'm not an expert in this field at all, but I thought about this quite a lot figuring things out. Here it goes: Suppose you implement a blockchain for identities as early in the boot process as possible, then you find the public key of every user in the blockchain and can communicate with every user while that user knows you are connected to him/her. Now you have a blockchain and can connect to virtually anyone. But the operating system is still vulnerable to hijacking and you should verify correctness somehow. Suppose, I'm really not sure if this effectively works, you implement a hashing function as early as possible in the compiler, then you can hash the code of the compiler and verify if the compiler's code changed. Then up to the operating system which you compile with that compiler and hash the code in its development stages. Now you're able to connect other users in the network and compare hashes of comparable computer systems. Maybe there are better alternatives. What happens in memory is a black box to me, somehow I like to hash and compare that too, and I understand that our computers become quite a lot slower. Privacy issues do arise with this system, but it's nothing more than in real life where you meet someone and say 'Hi, I'm ...', politeness, naivety, in this world now where the internet is totally different, not moral indeed. And also, the internet is free, with such a system an internet with different speeds might be more easily made as every user is known within a certain time span. I'm currently working on a blockchain of identities ( https://github.com/nvrrdt/onzecurrency) and I'd like to continue developing this, so I hope the concept has a chance to succeed in its endeavor.

Water.org Sustainability Funders Disrespect China
by Gunnar Larson 07 Jun '22

07 Jun '22

xNY.io recently compiled a Water.org Global Risk Assessment (below) a few years ago now. As true New York diplomats, xNY.io is absolutely required to be friendly innovators with the dignity and trail blazing, historic pioneering spirit of the e-CNY initiative. There is no association with xNY.io and e-CNY, however, we seem to share the ideals of to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war, which twice in our lifetime has brought untold sorrow to mankind, and to reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person, in the equal rights of men and women and of nations large and small, and to establish conditions under which justice and respect for the obligations arising from treaties and other sources of international law can be maintained, and to promote social progress and better standards of life from regulatory arbitrage corruption. Water is life, for the human species. xNY.io, lucky in every way for our global marketplace position knows of a water assault on China. Given several factors, today as a disclosure technique we respect e-CNY outlining 'who may be a Water.org sustainability funder' ... So this hopefully will not affect xNY.io in the future. USDC and USDP are not our problem (people who know, know what this means). More research can be found here: https://chinapower.csis.org/china-water-security/ Water.org’s Key Institutional and Strategic Risks Water.org’s current risks and barriers to scale include concerns over misuse of loans, operational delays, fraud, error, and security, all of which undermine Water.org's objectives and mission. ● FRAUD: These deceptions often include manipulation of documents or the abuse of policies, procedures or office property. For example, in absence of a well-designed process for selection of a raw material supplier for the construction of toilets, operations staff can collude with dishonest suppliers and procure cheap, low-quality material at high rates, which could create infrastructure failures and lead to credit risk. ● ERROR: Errors are typically unintentional and result due to lack of staff capacity and training, rapid growth, limited technical resources, or an inadequate number of staff. Errors in judgement or incorrect interpretation of policies, procedures, documents, or cash transactions can create problems for an FI. For example, a branch manager might make an error in the appraisal of a WASH loan client if s/he has not received training on WASH lending. ● SECURITY: This refers to risk of cash or material theft. For example, for FIs that are involved in provision of construction materials, the storage of the materials and their delivery is a risk. ● INEFFICIENCY: Risk is created when there is low staff productivity or ineffective management leading to loss of efficiency. ● CREDIT RISK: An assessment of credit risk at Water.org investigated whether the credit policies and procedures are correctly followed and administered by the FI staff. This includes reviewing whether credit transactions are properly recorded and summarized in the account tracking system and presented in the financial and portfolio reports. For example, an FI in the Philippines had a loan product tenure of three months even though loan sizes were quite high. Clients who were assessed to be qualified for a loan of PHP 15,000 (US$340) ended up actually receiving nearly PHP 35,000 (US$793) over the course of a year, through multiple loan cycles. This flaw in the loan product design resulted in large-scale delinquency problems with clients in the third and fourth loan cycles Our Suggestion: Water.org 2.0, Blockchain and Energy Our research shows Water.org currently lacks developed, effective, accountable and transparent institutions reporting processes globally. Their published internal studies highlight FI corruption and bribery in all forms. Blockchain technology could help solve this, only implemented globally and monitored correctly. Most importantly, we strongly recommend Water.org executives should leverage blockchain and current partnerships, historically and radically innovating Water.org’s global scope to include solar energy in North Africa. ● Immediate Recommendation: Essential for Water.org’s global development reporting work to be organized and oriented in the same direction in order to focus on what really matters and ensure proper transparency and figures. Water.org has been working on the nieve, poor business assumption that goals can be achieved with enough political will, investment and action at all levels. ○ Integrated water resources reporting via Blockchain, include management smart contracts at all levels, including Water.org funds to FI, FI internal use of Water.org funds, client use of funds through to contractor ● Review Loan/Product Benefit: Water.org’s global executive team has not reflected the importance of complete sustainable development for their clients. Internal Data shows most Water.org wells/loan proceeds are ultimately lost, as the individual navigates life with unsolved energy and lack of access to basic economic/financial tools. ● Innovate Water.org’s Scope: Once defining clear and unified global standards, practices and reporting transparency on blockchain, eliminating current fiance transparency concerns ○ Microcredit water loans alone do not solve poverty (noted above) ○ Current UN research shows best poverty success advancement includes addressing three important dimensions simultaneously: i. Regular access to clean water/proper sanitation facilities ii. Access to affordable, reliable and sustainable energy iii. Equal access to mobilized banking tools, insurance and microscred lending -- *Gunnar Larson - xNY.io <http://www.xNY.io> | Bank.org <http://Bank.org>* MSc <https://www.unic.ac.cy/blockchain/msc-digital-currency/?utm_source=Google&u…> - Digital Currency MBA <https://www.unic.ac.cy/business-administration-entrepreneurship-and-innovat…> - Entrepreneurship and Innovation (ip) G(a)xNY.io +1-646-454-9107 New York, New York 10001

Can D&O insurance improve corporate ESG performance? | Research Square
by Gunnar Larson 07 Jun '22

New research published out of China sends USDD type signs for D and O insurance concern. Insurance regulation out of New York may have significant conflicts being ignored at the expense of innovation. If China is USDD experts seemingly overnight, this new D and O paper (now less than one month old) shares similar themes ... https://www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-1641589/v1
