Looking for an accountant and an artist
Coreforcruxes replied to Coreforcruxes's topic in Miscellaneous
Hi Tyne, Thank you for responding to my request for an artist. I looked at your Instagram and blog and want to re-iterate that this would be philosophically driven imagery and accompanying message in case that could conflict with any employer you might have. Other than that do you have any more examples of illustrations you have done? your sculptures are fun and exciting by the way, especially that fly! -
Looking for an accountant and an artist
Coreforcruxes replied to Coreforcruxes's topic in Miscellaneous
mellomama, thanks but that is not specifically a market-place for listeners to exchange products and services its more a place to make others aware of ones philosophically and FDR ( but I repeat myself ) related activities and projects. Matthew M., a downvote for wasting my time and detracting from my post. edit: Thank you for the apology Mathew. -
Hello all, I am looking to acquire the services of some professionals and want to offer my custom here first. I am looking for an accountant as my financial situation is becoming more and more complicated with land ownership, financial goals and crypto-currency investments. That being the case I would prefer someone with an understanding of crypto-currencies and related tech but would more prefer someone with long term success and decades of experience. On an un-related note I am looking for an artist. I have some ideas for what I think of as "capitalist and or virtue-propaganda" ( which may negate its definition as propaganda,? ) and my intention is to commission the works and circulate them online with a request and link to donate for their creation and propagation. I intend to turn a profit on the activity so that it can support itself. Everything is negotiable and if you are interested i'd love to see a portfolio of your work, I don't care if its of a physical or digital medium but if physical it would be your responsibility to deliver the end work in digital format along with some kind of legal transfer of rights to the image. I want to take this slow and do a single piece and not even consider another until I see how long it takes for that piece to pay for itself. Thanks for reading please pass the word to any you know who might be interested. PS - in making this post I had the idea that the forum might benefit from a section where people could offer products and services.

Pop the champagne - Podcast #3000 is around the corner!
Coreforcruxes replied to Filip's topic in General Messages
I think that is an awesome idea, I'm in. I do recall a podcast ( I cannot recall recent or old as I listen to them out of order ) where Stef said some approximation that the first couple thousand were practice and 3,000 was where they were going to start getting good- 1 reply

I like this song, I think its a warning to the grunts that they are just tools of the most evil people, or evil themselves. "...It's Heavy when we look into that open void... " The void is not empty, its heavy, thus gravity, thus mass, though dark, life is a deep ocean maybe even a black hole, that can swallow you if you let it. Its not easy to explore and navigate but its imperative to do so. " but animals don't think of it at all " Animals are less conscious without choice, people are less conscious deliberately. By the time your boot hits the sand, if you are not pondering the moral consequences of your choices and behavior then your heart is already dead. You are a shell of a human, an animal. This does not mean that all imperial soldiers are animals, just the ones that are not haunted by their position in life and society. " ...Games over losers, I have all the money... " Business, wealth, trade, capitalism is the real Game. Its a game because its not doing virtue, or vice necessarily but it is how you survive and thrive in society without doing evil, it is necessary to having the choice to do virtue or vice on larger scales. The soldiers were manipulated into not playing the real game and instead enabling the vicious to win it instead. There are also some sexual themes later in the song that I imagine are about the Irony of the Mr.tough guy soldiers { supposed Alphas } being the Betas to their political and social masters. "...that's right, just suck it off..." My thanks and appreciation to those that were in the military who had the fortitude to look into the void and come out alive, and change their circumstances. Most notably be ending their "service". Edit: I keep find great stuff in this song; " We are young and we have fun And all we've found in being around Is 'all in all' and 'Holy Cows' While things keep getting heavy! " on average the youth are less corrupted that the old, and listening to the supposed authorities of the time all they get is " all in all ", which is not an argument and " holy cows " which is woo woo. " While things keep getting heavy ", while the conditions of their world keep getting worse and harder to bare. their solution is : " Hang on till the winner comes " let the warmongers kill each other, and " hang on to your man and hang on to your woman " focus on your relationships, especially your primary.

Just adding my experience with Gnosticism; At the time I came across it I was in a very scattered place with cycles of euphoria and dysphoria, everything was in question and doubt including every aspect of myself. Gnosticism was a comfortable transition from my still un-escaped chains of Christianity and the perils of Agnosticism to ultimate atheism. I had to feel like I knew something, like I was certain of something. I loved that the word Gnostic itself was an assertion of knowledge and that all the writing or teachings relative to it were called and considered myths, only echoes of the truth. This helped me break myself from a "world of words" and instead focus on my behaviors and introspection. Gnosticism was of course a half measure but also a welcome methadone to the heroin of living lies I was coming off of.

I have some thoughts here, please let me know if they are helpful. "While I can understand why people remain closeted, I can't classify it as non-fraudulent, no different in process than a woman faking pregnancy to keep a man around, a man telling his wife that he wants kids when he doesn't, or a Nigerian prince scammer." IMO with the above statement you are applying general relationship rules to an exceptional relationship. The parents caused the child. I think parents have an obligation to accept (on matters of moral neutrality) their child they chose to create. The parents certainly have an obligation to want to know and succeed at knowing the emotional state and desires of the child. If the parents do not already know these things about their child then the first and ongoing greatest act of fraud is committed by the parents, the child is merely applying their principle to them. There are plenty of reasons outside of fraud for the child to come out of the closet IMO. I think being able to acquire and distribute the resources you need to meet the goals you set is healthy. Relying on a gravy train I think has alot of negative consequences like shock when it dries up and general dependency.

Running Linux for the first time, in April I installed Ubuntu to take advantage of what I assume is increased security while I explore crypto-currencies. I would like to transition into Arch-Linux ( what I understand to be the most secure ) next spring.

Block-chain reputation, feedback, credit rating system
Coreforcruxes replied to Coreforcruxes's topic in Science & Technology
Thanks ETU, I don't know if something like this could single handedly end Ebay, Paypal etc... at least if they adopted its use for their rating systems. "From listening to Stefan's BTC podcast, I was under the impression that feedback, escrow, and e-commerce features were already built into the BTC architecture.." I am not sure whether it can or cannot, I know it has been updated to add things like Multi-signature wallets and there is alot of talk about implementing something called color-coins which should add alot of benefit and versatility. I have not heard any proposals for a reputation system with BTC. IMO its probable that the BTC block-chain could be updated with features like this, but we cannot guarantee that it will / can or would be prudent to do so.- 2 replies

Hi Folks, I would love some feedback and thoughts on this idea, if its even feasible, thanks! BitMarket ( working name ) v 0.2 I prefer not to refer to this as a ‘coin’ as it is in no way a currency since the signals within burn on use, it is (I hope) an entirely new and innovative way to realize one more potential of block-chain technology. Proposal: Bitmarket would in simplest terms be a decentralized, trustless, reputation network. The method would be one of elegance, as has been shown effective with bitcoin. Do one thing, and do it right, consistently. Bitcoin is voluntary money, Bitmarket is voluntary identity ( or identities depending on one’s inclination ) of oneself and their associates. Before that scares too many off please allow me to make my case for why this system can and would work and only add to all that we already love about the crypto-space including the option of anonymity. > Independent Block-chain resting technology relying heavily on timestamps within the block-chain for regulation of certain features. > The unit within the network is called credits and is populated in every active node on the network on a regular basis. > Users spend credits to send positive or negative signals to each other in order for the market and individuals to establish reputation, relationships and organizations. > This technology relies on external ‘credit-agencies’ to emerge in the marketplace and compete for acceptance of their interpretation of what the network transactions mean to and for the market-place. After enough growth and adoption in the BitMarket reliable interpretations of relationships and organizational distinctions with the network would be invaluable. > Extra credits are awarded to those who process the transactions in the network, this gives those individuals a greater influence in the network. For this reason it is reasonable that the agencies competing to interpret and report the market will also compete to process its transactions as they have the highest incentive to maintain the fidelity of the network. > New addresses do not become ‘active’ until they have received a certain amount of positive feedback > If an address reputation falls below a certain percentage that address is ‘deactivated’ permanently unless the deactivation threshold is adjusted by the network in the future > New Block-chain feature ( maybe.. if its possible ); Block-chain voting, variables within the block-chain can be adjusted on the fly by its participants by having designated addresses for each variable that receives positive or negative signals. The way I imagine this working is that the client is about to perform a function that relies on a variable, it then checks the total value at the address on the block-chain that variable relates to and plugs it in based on the total positive or negative number of the value stored in the address. For some variables like the amount of credits awarded to each node, whole numbers ( or thousands of them ) could have drastic effects on the network. For that reason I propose ‘momentum-voting’; with this function the network would start out at its genesis values and increase or decrease those values based on a historic average developed over time. Depending on the variable voted on updates to those variables could occur every x blocks which itself could be a feature voted on. Though it might be pointed out that after a long period of stability at one value it would be difficult to change that value if need be. But as time progresses so too should the size of the network and its capacity to build up momentum in whatever direction it so desired. This way the community could feel empowered to effect this system immediately and relative to the individuals effort and quality of argument to do so without coercion. Examples: frequency of credit generation amount of credit generation activation threshold for new address deactivation threshold for bad actors amount of award for transaction processors network processing difficulty ( this might be best left an unalterable value ) potential feature > good actor bonus > a possibly graduated reward relative to ones relationship diversity and perhaps reputation beyond a certain thresholds like 75% 80% 85% etc… ?’s I am still not getting it, even if this could be done why would I want it to happen and why participate? First off, tech like this appeals to the entire marketplace right now, not just people into the cutting edge, the revolutionary or the sound investment. From jr high kids to people buying and selling on craigslist we all understand the value of being liked and appreciated socially. This will allow people to realize extra value for every human interaction they engage with and encourage them to spend their own and others time wisely and with courtesy. This also has a zero paywall to entry, many people do not get into a tech like bitcoin because they to do not have the extra money to do so. This will get people using block-chain technology and becoming familiar with it in a fun, functional and economically productive way. Let me not gloss over the appeal to younger individuals who will lead the market-place soon enough. People in school are obsessed with social organization and will no doubt love being able to track and analyze relationships on a scale of this nature. And the more people involved the more value the rating agencies can provide the marketplace with data-analyzations of un-coerced human action. The reason to jump in now is because reputation is more valuable with a longer established history, and now while it is still easy is when you want to establish relationships with others like yourself who have put themselves in the path of the futures momentum. What about anonymity and real identity? It is my opinion that we all engage in varying degrees of market activity, whether it be grey, white black, social or economic. With this network one may establish as many nodes as they wish and choose to link them or not. Everyone would have their white market address they attach to their real identity and then if one so chose they could have one or more anonymous addresses for whatever purpose. Would’nt the credit agencies punish people for anonymous addresses? actually, there would be competing agencies and after the market got complex enough many agencies would specialize in providing interpretations of different perspectives of the market. Be it White, Black or the lumber industry or gaming or sports. So if you wanted to do business with an anonymous person you might not trust a white market agencies rating that has to pay lip service to common social norms and be weary of reprisal from contemporary power bases. If someone gets negative ratings whats to stop them from creating a new address and starting over? Nothing, but if someone attached their real identity or had robust enough pattern of behavior and relationships then the blockchain would not “know” that it belonged to the same user but it would be the business of the external rating agencies to know and publish said information allowing a potential trade associate to make the judgement. If someone operated with an anonymous ID and wanted to be taken seriously they would do their best to only interact with good players and be themselves, fair. Whats to stop people from spamming addresses and boosting their rating with the credit generated? Having to have so much positive feedback before an address goes live and starts to generate credits helps stem this right away. It would also be incumbent on the promoters of this tech to relay to individuals the value and possible permanence of their rating and how the external agencies would likely review past behavior possibly before they existed and attach to it an identity or punish it with negative feedback. During development a community would grow around this idea with lots of credits and the ability to “regulate” the network before the rating agencies were formed. when marketing this technology up front, making people very aware of the consequences. what about Bloat? Between new addresses needing to be activated, bad actors being deactivated, and external rating agencies having a large incentive and capacity ( due to increased stores of credits from the reward for processing the networks transactions )to punish users who try to game the system, and the fact that once spent credits burn and the incentive to hoard credits ( defense against malicious ratings ) I believe that the network could be kept to a manageable size. And since there are some questions we cannot know the answer to, the voting system allows future users to adjust the growth rate of the network based on what current tech can allow for.

I thought I would share this free ( for the moment ) resource I came across. Right now if you go to Amazon and search audible you will see a link for two free audiobooks if you sign up for a membership. You can cancel it of course but I encourage any who can afford it to really give the service a try [ http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=audible ]. I recommend Self Therapy by Jay Earley, I am only 1 chapter in and it is already amazing. I wish I had a tool like this when I began the journey of self-knowledge.Link for the audio-book:http://www.amazon.com/Self-Therapy-Transform-Yourself-Resources-Strength/dp/160407941X/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1412897014&sr=8-6&keywords=self+therapy+jay+earleyI would of course recommend and privide a link to FDR's amazon affiliate link but I am unsure if it'd do them any good on a free purchase.Thanks all

Thanks for the reply and questions Lux, I am glad it got you thinking As far as where the money goes and what how will / should society treat the children, I don't think that matters or is practical to ask ( too far in the future to speculate ). The whole point is being able to call a spade a spade here and now and acknowlede that yes you have the gun today statey mcstaterson, but not forever. To have a public ledger ( and consequently market for comparison and forum for discussion ) that will forever record "super-crimes" those which are in any consistent framework crimes but which are just double-thought away in todays bass-akward society.
