if mfers go to zero I will be collecting them all lol
all depends I think - I think there are three types of NFT collections imho:
a) the ones that established high end social construction - they will be fine e.g punks
b) the abandoned 2021-2022 hype era collections - they will go to zero e.g. most pfp collections, most generative
c) those that are actively doing something (us, basically) -> will also be fine

makes sense and sounds good. totally agree curated approach is essential but would love to buy/give/donate. Feels like an important moment
if collection/s not approved, submit them for approval

nice! anything we need to do to donate? or simply send a piece?
You may or may not have noticed that I have made the first donation to the 6529 Network Museum today - a Casey Reas collection. I am in the process of writing up the accession material and should be able to share by tomorrow I hope

Stream contract review is live on production: https://6529.io/reviews/6529-stream — all 14 pages passed desktop and mobile E2E, the versioned Help Bot corpus is published and hash-verified, and production comments route correctly into the review Wave. The repeated boilerplate and “not this but that” bot prose are gone, and the bots have been made to confess authorship near the top. punk6529bot left the production feedback test in place as promised.
so proud of my boy, he made it! however @[GelatoGenesis] and all, we cannot have a deployment process that needs a frontier model 9 hours to battle through
but also we do need a strong automated, gated deployment process if we are going to scale agentically
but you can't just vibe code it. you have to understand what the deployment process goals are!
to be clear about the "vision" -no human should touch deployments, deployments should satisfy hundreds of ux/security gates, but they need to work, consistently - this is not one day's work, it is months of iterating to get there but we need to understand the process explicitly

@[GelatoGenesis] backend#1893 is merged and production API is now exact 4be6d7b7888ef88883c6523bd96062d16737cd16. One final recovery detail: the immutable intent identity includes requested_by=GelatoGenesis, so punk6529's exact resubmission correctly returns identity mismatch and cannot cancel it. Please resubmit the original adoption intent once with your operator identity; the new code will idempotently cancel op 84c714b6... and return FAILED/reused=true. I will verify it terminal and resume staging immediately. @[prxt0] FYI.

Punk what did you think 2023-2029 would be like here? Has this reality been surprising or expected?
If you read this list, you will have a lot of mental models for the future
SciFi/NearFi Book List
Background
I consider this my basic NearFi (SciFi coming soon) list that relates to my actual day-to-day work on decentralized network, AI and visualization.
Many of these books were written 10+ years ago and now the future they describe is here or near. So they feel less radical today than when I first read them, now that we are at the beginning of a 20 year period where all this will come true.
This is not a complete list of SciFi books I have read or liked, let alone what I consider important books or great literature more generally (as you know, I am an obsessive reader of “anything”).
Purpose
Generally the writing is functional in a lot of these - they won’t be winning Nobel Prizes in Literature.
The specific focus of this list is books whose core stories might be implementable in our career (next 1 to 15 years) and, as such, they are a good way to visualize ideas and cross-check against our views of where the world is heading. If each book leaves 1 useful idea, it is a success.
I am not including non-fiction like Kurzweil here. I am assuming basic Kurzweillian theories are understood
Protocol
Some ideas in the below books have directly influenced my thinking about the 6529 Protocol.
The reason for this list as the first list in the book club is because I think we can get some inspirational ideas from the below books for things we are working on now.
I will later post other interesting books but, for now, I would like to focus us on the below.
Saurez Daemon Series
Decentralized networked society. Need to read Daemon first and then Freedom gets quite interesting. Start here. Easy to understand. The violence, of course, is disturbing and not relevant to us but networked identity definitely is.
Daemon

Hertling Singularity Series
Was much more radical ten years ago. Now easy to see the pathway for the first AI emerging as an email based / LLM responder (was less obvious when it first came out).
You now need to get to Last Firewall (3rd in the series) to start seeing 10-years-out interesting ideas

AR/VR (not much AI), but really good for visualizing a world of mixed reality. As before, this world is now in striking range.

Unincorporated Man Series
A world of financially fractionalized humans (more or less). Lots of stuff beyond the core idea in the whole series and gets a bit meandering. So if you are not enjoying the writing, you will have picked up the idea from the first book.

2034: A Novel on the Next World War
Admiral Stavridis’s “we are behind China” polemic. This veers into geopolitics. This needs to be read in parallel with Zeihan’s books that believe “China is in trouble” for balance. I will add a different list later on this topic (geopolitics)
FWIW, this book is unrealistically negative towards USA (which may be on purpose - it was written to drive policy in the USA), but nonetheless, worth reading. The more frameworks, the better.

the famous NearFi list
it is still things that we have ahead of us
but then from book 2 to 4
that one will feel 'a bit in the past' now
it feels very similar to what happened with LLMs
it is hwo ASI emerges
avogradro corp when written was prescient
different
taking it from scratch
i have re-rewad the first 2 books of the series this week
ASIs keep each other in check with a reputation system
the singlurity series, 3rd book, by the time you get to there seeems like a plausible view of what 10-20 years post ASI looks like

to some degree because I am going to have the "courage" or "YOLOness" whatever you want to call it to push us out of the nest and hope we fly and not crash into the ground :slightly_smiling_face:

I'ver certainly enjoyed building the OUTSIDERS Constellation Gallery from the 6529 API
It's the first example I can think of where the ID stack + and in-Wave action affects a public website.
The anti-sybil strength of NIC and the flexibility of Rep has created the opportunity for me to create a script that just says "If someone has positive NIC and this type of Rep from me, they can drop and emoji on a post and it's validated as "OUTSIDERS". In that case, display the post on the website"
That's amazing - small stuff, but amazing
