   At the bottom of the kickstarter they have a link to Jellop, they run ad campaigns to boost kickstarter projects. This might be the real story, but not sure since there are no metrics on how much they've helped. http://www.j

   Same with Facebook. It's actually a HUGE reason we're building in a "non-compete" clause into our corporate charter for our platform.

    It was hilarious, especially seeing as we've had some interest from google regarding our device that we believe everyone will live and grow with. I envision a world where people will be born with their AI companions that will learn who

    1. Agreed. It's literally the reason we're building our own hardware. You can't build the future on the current hardware platforms produced by the major players. We're working on the shift.

    Yesssss. Diamond Age really is a boss book. We're pulling a lot of inspiration from these same authors to build Asteria. Heck, even Charles Stross retweeted Asteria last night. It was pretty epic. Check it: https://getasteri

    We built Baqqer for this reason. I wanted to know if we could get them on there so we can actually help. I can't really help them set-up or maintain their presence on other sites, but on Baqqer I can instantly provide them with suppo

    I've pretty much lost all faith in Ethereum and its motives. The way this has played out pretty much demonstrates that a good idea, no matter how beautiful, while still subject to being ruled by people capable of corruption/greed&
