Orgasmic Economics
The Latest Iteration of thinking on the Nature and Behaviour of the Self-funding network of the VRENAR project.
We note with interest the developments on HTC’s Blockchain Phone.
This phone, amongst other things has various mechanisms to recognise and authenticate it’s user, including a capability to use facial recognition algorithms.
Those same mechanisms can be easily adapted to further discriminate and monitor the moods of the user, whether they are happy, sad etc.
The camera of the phone can be used in the same way as any networked camera to determine the user’s gaze focus, via eye-tracking algorithms.
Thus some information is available on the extent of the users feelings on a particular subject that might be being read, discussed, or expressed via the phone’s various modes of communication.
The phone further appears capable of carrying out some basic modes of cryptographic proofs-of-work, such as used to “Mint” crypto-currency tokens.
The Ethereum platform is an example of a distributed ledger environment capable of supporting a virtually unlimited population of user defined tokens.
