Cyber Dérive is a p2p local delivery app turned into a deck-building game with collectible magic cards and battles.
In a world of alienation where people rely on companies and centralized institutions to do everything for them Cyber Dérive offers a fresh take on rebuilding community interaction and trust.
Time to share what I have been working on for the past 6 months after a year of ideation.
In these troubling times where more than 1 million people have been layed-off in the tech sector it's time for the community to take things into its own hands.
Meet Cyber-gubi - your basic income for the cyber age.
Community owned, lead and driven.
Here is why everybody wins by embracing it and how to use it:
Citizens should not be merely surviving with or without a regular job, they should by all means have a normal life. They can devote to their passion projects or work part-time and have a much better work-life balance.
Businesses have a new parallel economy to conquer and make profits of. New business models emerge based on all-in-one subscriptions which drastically reduce costs and head count.
Governments have a new stream of tax revenue to collect and enhance public infrastructure.
How to adopt it in real life:
Register with your face bio-metrics. They are irreversibly hashed and stored in a distributed public database. Your bio-metrics is your data. No one owns it and you can delete it anytime.
Visit cyber-gubi during any of the last 3 days of each month to collect your basic income. There is an inflation indexer which analyzes transactions and adjusts income for next month correspondingly.
Once you have accumulated some cyber-gubi casually start mentioning it to merchants you buy from locally. Explain the concept and how they benefit from it.
Businesses sign up in a wait-list. When there is enough businesses to form a balanced market economy the system opens and they start arbitraging between pricing and salaries paid in cyber-gubi. See docs for more details. Spread the word with business associations and local councils. Convince authorities to accept cyber-gubi as a tax method.
Introduce new business model based on circular economy and all-in-one subscriptions for consumption while cutting costs along the supply chain.
Governments prove their identity and register in the system to start collecting taxes.
Cyber-gubi is non-speculative and not-exchangeable for any currency. It's only application is as utility and use-value. This allows it to be injected into the real economy without causing inflation. When fiat is scarce and crypto is speculative cyber-gubi solves both problems at once.
Avoid the next Great Depression by actually constructing your own system instead of waiting for centralized organizations to impose their solutions on you.
You will own nothing and be happy implies that the elite will own everything. In my version of this no one owns anything, them included. Losing interest in objects is a good thing - it means the end of consumerism. There is no cost of anything when there is no ownership.
Maybe for an expensive piece of business equipment. For a consumer device I don't see that working -- the logistics of the "inspection" would impose prohibitive costs and administrative hassle. If someone doesn't submit to inspection you just turn them off? Seems like you want a subscription model based on usage, not a pay-for-use setup for the hardware.
It's not a subscription model but rather a user feedback loop. Basically the producer should prove the device is still working rather than the user proving it's not working.
A lot has been said about disinformation and fact checking but no one questions the official information and the fact checkers themselves.
As things stand nowadays there are 6 global conglomerates in control of news. What's more they gradually redefined the very term news from simply reporting an event to actually giving you an interpretation accompanied by directions what exactly happened, who the bad guys are and who are the good ones. Basically propaganda mixed with events or even made up events.
To fix that we need true p2p news where random people can report events without any commentaries. Just the plain facts. As soon as more random people report independently the same event the probability that it ever happened increases as well. What's more with each reporter facts aggregate and news become more accurate.
This is what real news should be not something made up in news agencies backed by paid fact checkers that are all subject to centralized control.
