0.3 is finished. nine pages. it will go up with the rest of the
files when i have cleaned the references.

the emission is the part i am proud of and the part none of you will
like. an obol is not mined. it is waited for. the work is sequential
by construction, so a thousand machines get you one obol at a time,
exactly as a single machine does. there is no advantage to being
rich. there is no race. an obol costs the same to everyone alive
because it costs time, and time is the only thing that has never
been printed.

my father lost forty years of work to a decision made in an
afternoon by men he never met. i am not building this to get rich.
i am building it so that what a person puts in cannot be diluted by
anyone else's signature.

before the setup goes ahead i want the procedure written down and
signed by everyone taking part, and i want the record kept by
someone who is not you.

not because i distrust you. because in ten years nobody will
remember what we agreed and the document will be the only thing
that is left of us.
