---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: *Undescribed Horrific Abuse, One Victim & Survivor of Many* < gmkarl(a)gmail.com> Date: Friday, August 29, 2025 Subject: Re: [spam][crazy][fiction][random] Non-Canon MCBoss Spinoffs To: "Undescribed Horrific Abuse, One Victim & Survivor of Many" < gmkarl(a)gmail.com> dependencies are missing from the time-machine shebang. Two sourcefiles below, pdf attached. 2nd level modules mostly wrap third party functionality and are not included here but easy to add now. :) I ended up using google cloud shell (although there are other free vm providers!) and it took a long time, most of which was spent tweaking guix to run effectively un the environment and reinstalling it when the vm reset throughout the day. The single most helpful change was modifying guix's install.sh to resume the tarball download by changing the tmpdir to $HOME/tmp and adding --continue to wget. If archiving /var/guix and /gnu across reruns it seemed best to tar -jc /gnu as it gets corrupt if space exhausts, -J is needlessly slow, and all those .scm files and symlinks compress great. However, I did not try guix's feature of hardlink deduplication. Also, sudo /etc/init.d/guix-daemon stop and verify that /var/guix/db/db.sqlite is closed (no wal files, or fuser) before archiving or it corrupts too. Didn't try bind mounts. The below files demonstrate how newbiehacked scheme is much prettier and clearer than such bash. I tried upping the commit but began running into possibly nondeterministic makeinfo failures, and it took a long time to build each guix snapshot. So this renders as rc2. The head commit worked fine too though.

Decentralized Operating System
by Joseph Oyinkan 26 Aug '25

26 Aug '25

Hey guys, I've been working on a new protocol called the Marketplace which is a decentralized operating system that co-ordinates and economizes the execution of computational work across a peer-to-peer network of nodes. Where there is no barrier to the node participation. Unlike proof-of-work systems, where nodes burn large amounts of energy to solve "non-useful" puzzles, the Marketplace organizes a peer-to-peer market of computational trade where nodes offload useful computational work called "jobs" directly to each other and pays in the system's native cryptocurrency, goldcoin(GDC). Effectively redirecting energy into real economic growth. Security without "Staking" is achieved using Proof-of-Capability (PoC), a new "sybil-resistant" mechanism that selects and incentivizes a small committee (“whiterooms”) to validate and reach consensus on the result of jobs without boggling down the entire network with redundant execution. This allows the amount of jobs handled in parallel to scale directly with the amount of nodes on the network analogous to an OS on a multi-core device. Real utility then comes from the "services layer" where nodes can compose stalls(modular services) into larger digital structures(e.g websites), and execute them regardless of size in near constant time by taking advantage of the parallel execution environment of the marketplace. The system’s monetary policy dynamically adjusts issuance such that price of execution is constant regardless of network load. Whitepaper (PDF): https://github.com/bajoescience/Marketplace/blob/master/Whitepaper.pdf I’d appreciate feedback on the design, especially on consensus security, cryptographic integrity, and the economic model, Thanks.

Chairman Brendan Blumer and CEO and former president of the NYSE, Tom Farley, are shown feeling groovy on the BLSH IPO day.* According to a recent Silicon Valley Bank ‘State of enterprise software’ report <https://substack.com/redirect/b2249433-a0f3-476e-8d64-3501d74fea42?j=eyJ1Ij…>, out of the $197.2 billion that has gone into private companies thus far in 2025, $81.3 billion, a whopping 41% of VC cash, ended up in the coffers of AI startups, a dramatic rise from just 10% in 2021. The lion’s share of this funding ended up in the hands of just 10 private companies, including* Cryptonite 300 <https://substack.com/redirect/6dd2750c-d5c3-42a9-ab32-1d3bb77d2825?j=eyJ1Ij…>* top companies, OpenAI, xAI, Scale AI, Inflection AI, Adept, Jasper, Cohere, and Anthropic. (The other two non-AI companies on this list are SpaceX and Stripe, which both took in big rounds in 2025.) OpenAI alone accounted for $40 billion, making it the largest single financing event in VC history. This level of VC money concentration represents a 75% increase from the previous year and marks the highest concentration in over a decade. The future of AI relies on rapidly expanding the AI infrastructure, data acquisition, and developing large language models. Ultimately, only a handful of ‘platform’ companies with deep pockets and technical expertise can withstand these stringent funding requirements. The good news is that these massive infrastructure investments are fostering the next generation of breakout AI startups, and most will benefit from building on the stacks/platforms of well-funded leaders. <https://substack.com/redirect/a69a4527-e916-4cd1-af18-424d9755ba0d?j=eyJ1Ij…> *Masa’s deal with Sam early this year started at $340 billion and ultimately landed at SoftBank investing in OpenAI at a $300 billion <https://substack.com/redirect/f3e451e0-b111-49a0-81d8-8d05a9dc091d?j=eyJ1Ij…> valuation. Art by Grok* AI stock bubble? Sam Altman thinks so. *It’s a bit of an irony that the man who has raised the most money during the AI private company funding boom is likening the AI rush to ‘the tech bubble’ in the late 90s. ‘When bubbles happen, smart people get overexcited about a kernel of truth. *Are we in a phase where investors, as a whole, are overly excited about AI? <https://substack.com/redirect/1a9c55df-1192-4a14-9514-b9fdba539e43?j=eyJ1Ij…>* Yes. Is AI the most important thing to happen in a very long time? Also, Yes.’ OpenAI’s chief, Sam Altman**,** told The Verge.* *Sam is right, of course, and we have been blowing the whistle on this bubble since the end of last year. We even challenged SoftBank’s Masayoshi Son's investment in OpenAI in our February post (see below), which initially started at a $340 billion valuation, and (perhaps Masa read our post—we know his team does), the price was subsequently whacked to $300 billion <https://substack.com/redirect/f3e451e0-b111-49a0-81d8-8d05a9dc091d?j=eyJ1Ij…>.* *The AI bubble reality hit the US in the face after the explosive rise of DeepSeek, a Chinese tech firm that claimed its AI chatbot had been trained for under $6 million, far below the billions spent by US counterparts.* *Torsten Slok, head economist at Apollo Global Management, The P/E ratios notes that today's top 10 S&P 500 companies significantly outpace those of the broader index and the top 10 from the 1990s <https://substack.com/redirect/d6de20bd-8391-4b7a-9df8-f42bd328a2dd?j=eyJ1Ij…>, signaling unsustainable investor optimism driven by AI promises (e.g., trillion-dollar efficiency gains and transformative breakthroughs).* *We agree with Sam and Torsten, and the overheated market is stalling the AI IPO market.

Bullish’s NYSE stock debut last week also bolsters the tech IPO market, as the company raised approximately $1.1 billion at a $5.4 billion opening valuation, only to see its stock surge sharply, yet briefly over $13 billion in market cap, and has settled down to just north of $9 billion. *Peter Thiel’s other DeFi bets <https://substack.com/redirect/9e4b0f02-b929-492a-9f88-937055261a01?j=eyJ1Ij…>: ETHZilla (ETHZ/ATNF); BitMine Immersion Technologies (BMNR), Plasma (Plasma Foundation), Citrea, Erebor (crypto-friendly bank). His 2025 actions suggest a pivot toward Ethereum and Bitcoin DeFi as the next frontier for financial innovation.* In light of the private AI company bubble noted above, the IPO market for the rest of the year is expected to primarily come from the blockchain app and infrastructure sectors. Coreweave has been the only AI company to debut its stock, while the crypto sector took out eToro, Circle, and now Bullish. Long-term, we remain committed to the belief that equity in startups will be tokenized on Day One and will trade like cryptocurrencies today, without the need to ‘go public’ and adhere to the increased regulations associated with public company reporting. Top IPO prospects from the blockchain space <https://substack.com/redirect/90a48c3b-014b-44b9-b3f5-a1c004a7329b?j=eyJ1Ij…> include Gemini, Kraken, Figure Technology Solutions, BitGo, Chainalysis, Consensys, Digital Currency Group (DCG), Blockchain.com, Anchorage Digital, and FalconX, with Ripple, Fireblocks, and Binance also being mentioned. ------------------------------ *Exclusive Invitation: Silicon Valley ’25* *As a Cryptonite member, you’re invited to an intimate gathering of 600 CEOs, founders, and venture backers at the first annual SV’25.* *On October 21–22 at San Francisco’s Presidio Park Theatre, connect behind closed doors with the leaders driving AI, blockchain, and robotics—alongside the investors and insiders funding their explosive growth.* *This is a private, by‑invitation event.

Universal BitLicense Declaration on Virtual Currency & Human Rights
by Gunnar Larson 19 Aug '25

19 Aug '25

Dear Madam Acting Superintendent: Reflecting this week, Ripple once again <https://www.law.com/radar/card/ripple-legal-chief-accuses-sec-of-playing-de…> shares concerning comments and approaches to respecting their Bitlicense award. Even more, many experts are concerned <https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-12-17/nyc-miami-seen-facing-po…> about MIA Coin and resulting NYCCoin disasters. Madam Acting Superintendent, on August 4, 2020 as part of our Conditional BitLicense application we submitted a draft of the Universal BitLicense Declaration on Virtual Currency & Human Rights. - Today this memo is to re-new our obvious approach to virtual currency innovation in New York. Together under your leadership, we should be leading the world in the principles of modern cross-border BitLicense logic. - Madam Acting Superintendent, this type of stuff matters. The Deceleration aims to level the playing field for all and impacts the future of women and girls with respect to financial inclusion. - At the very least, New York and your office should be embracing such thoughtful approaches to support future generations and protect virtual currency from market manipulation. Madam Acting Superintendent, we implore that if some version of the Declaration was enacted in 2020, the world would be a better place today. Kindly find a copy of the Universal BitLicense Declaration on Virtual Currency & Human Rights <https://thecapital.io/article/universal-bitlicense-declaration-on-virtual-c…> below. We will be in contact with your office this coming week to engage in dialogue on the Declaration's feasibility forward. Very respectfully yours, Gunnar Larson *WE THE PEOPLE OF NEW YORK DETERMINED* - to pioneer noble advancement of BitLicence theory and regulation, whereas it is essential to safeguard virtual currency and its potential to galvanize international, economic and social advancement of all peoples, and - to ensure clarity, principally New York’s BitLicence being the preeminent institution with mandate of ensuring that virtual currency manipulation (of any sort) shall not burden the common global interest of humanity, and that human rights are protected in the jurisdiction of New York for all peoples *AND FOR THESE ENDS* - to save succeeding generations from financial fraud and corruption, which in our lifetime has brought untold sorrow to humanity, and - to reaffirm New York’s 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 BitLicence regulation and other sources of financial services law can be maintained, and - to promote larger social progress by leading global standards, given that New York remains the center of technological innovation and forward-looking virtual currency regulation *HAVE RESOLVED TO COMBINE OUR EFFORTS TO ACCOMPLISH THESE AIMS* *Now, therefore this UNIVERSAL BITLICENSE DECLARATION ON VIRTUAL CURRENCY & HUMAN RIGHTS as the common crypto standard of achievement for all peoples and all nations, keeping this Declaration constantly in mind, shall strive to promote respect for human rights and personal freedoms by progressive measures, national and international, to secure their universal and effective recognition and observance of New York-based companies accountable to a **universal **BitLicense **standard of virtual currency regulation across all global territories of business, protecting all peoples and all nations.* *Article One* - Whereas disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in failed financial frameworks that have outraged the conscience of mankind, and - Whereas the foundational vision of BitLicense theory imagines a world in which human beings shall enjoy safe, reliable and regulated virtual currency tools and financial products, now proclaimed as the highest aspiration of the common people, *Article Two* - Whereas ethical stewardship of virtual currency is inherent to the BitLicence mandate, the invention of blockchain, and virtual currency aimed to secure the equal and inalienable rights of all as foundation to financial freedom and economic prosperity, especially in the developing economies, and - BitLicense members pledged themselves to achieve, in cooperation with the state of New York, the promotion of universal respect for and observance of international human rights fundamental to the integrity of the BitLicense’s virtual currency regulation. - Whereas New York reaffirms faith in the BitLicense’s foundational themes and the general concept of human right protection. The dignity and worth of the human person and the equal rights of men and women are part of New York BitLicense protections and standards which correlates to noble “public-spiritedness” virtual currency regulation with exponential social progress of humanity. *Article Three* *The Purposes of this Declaration are:* - To maintain the protection of BitLicense virtual currency standards, implying any New York- based group or person has no right to engage in “loophole” business activities in global markets out of New York, or to perform any act aimed at bypassing BitLicense virtual currency regulation, and - To take effective collective measures to remove inconsistencies and prevent the suppression of human rights or other breaches of BitLicense regulations of virtual currency, and to bring about conformity with the principles of justice and international human rights laws, adjusting or settling international disputes or situations which might lead to a breach of New York BitLicense law; - To develop friendly relations among nations based on respect for the principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples, while executing appropriate measures to close KYC/AML loopholes by strengthen universal virtual currency regulation of New York firms operating in global emerging markets; - To achieve international co-operation in solving international virtual currency problems of an economic, social, cultural, or humanitarian nature, and in promoting and encouraging respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race, sex, language, or religion; and - To offer New York as centre jurisdiction and the BitLicense as universal to harmonizing smart virtual currency actions of nations in the attainment of these common ends. *Article Four* New York BitLicensees (members), in pursuit of the Purposes stated in Article One, shall act in accordance with the following Principles: - All Members, in order to ensure to all of them the rights and benefits resulting from BitLicense membership, shall fulfill the obligations assumed by them in accordance with this Declaration, and - All Members shall immediately settle their international virtual currency inconsistencies by peaceful means in such a manner that international law and justice are not endangered while meeting this Declaration and overall BitLicense compliance, and - All Members shall refrain in their international relations from the violation of human rights or abuse of virtual currency manipulation *by leveraging territorial loopholes (e.g. Africa) and/or inconsistent jurisdictional integrity and enforcement (e.g. Europe), nor willfully employ political naivete of any state (e.g. New York)*, or in any other manner inconsistent with the Purposes of this Declaration, and - Continued membership is contingent on the requirement that BitLicense Members based in New York act in accordance with these Principles so far as may be necessary for the promotion of universal respect for and observance of human rights and fundamental virtual currency regulation, and finally - Nothing in this Declaration may be interpreted as implying for any State, group or person any right to engage in any activity or to perform any act aimed at the destruction of human rights or degradation of the BitLicense’s virtual currency statute or mandates set forth in this Declaration. -- *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
