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.

No, they are the same on all websites - censorship.

So there are forbidden questions?

So that's a valid reason to flag/ban posts?
mar1n3r0··on Cyber-gubi – your basic income for the cyber age
"What if I just generate faces with AI and use them? How could a system prevent that?"

There are techniques to detect movement etc.

"I wouldn't feel comfortable with a hash of my face on a public server. Even if it's just a hash."

All central servers already have not only your data but also monitor your habits daily and you are fine with that because you simply don't know it.

mar1n3r0··on Cyber-gubi – your basic income for the cyber age
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.

mar1n3r0··on Ask HN: If you were to build a web app today what tech stack would you choose?
Go + wasm(https://github.com/maxence-charriere/go-app) + IPFS + orbitdb
mar1n3r0··on From ownership economy towards economy of usage
It's not a SaaS rather no ownership at all i.e no prices.
mar1n3r0··on From ownership economy towards economy of usage
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.
mar1n3r0··on Would you consider pay half now and then for each year a device lasts?
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.
mar1n3r0··on Would you consider pay half now and then for each year a device lasts?
1st year in warranty. Afterwards inspection before recurring payment. If you fake it you have to return the device.

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.

mar1n3r0··on Ask HN: What is the most pleasant, uncomplicated full stack to start with?
Wasm to the rescue - https://go-app.dev/, https://yew.rs/.

I enjoy it as much as Vue 1.0 before we had bundlers, transpilers, builders and what not.

mar1n3r0··on Ask HN: I just want to have fun programming again
https://go-app.dev/ + https://github.com/ipfs/kubo

easily deploy wasm full-stack p2p apps

mar1n3r0··on Ask HN: I’m falling out of love with coding
I feel the same and think that globally no industry is the same even compared to 5 years ago. But most importantly programming became from a niche job to a mainstream one which translates to more bureaucracy, less freedom, less ideation, more following the rules. At the same time dev tools became new business niches so rather than following standards its now a commodity.

P2P self-governance society prototype researching the intersection of moneyless economy, liquid democracy and p2p media.
mar1n3r0··on Ask HN: What not-profit-seeking project are you tinkering with this week?
Exploring the idea of a moneyless economy through a p2p simulator.

mar1n3r0··on Ask HN: Are we all burned out?
Spot on! We are building our own cages simply because we don't personally know the victims.
mar1n3r0··on VisioneerHub – A collaboration platform for product ideation and concept testing
The problem

Nowadays products are pushed to customers rather than being requested by them. Users are being tracked, analyzed and categorized instead of being asked directly what they want. For businesses this means increased risk when launching a new product. Buyers are kept out of the decision making process and can only vote with their wallet. The end result often is unfulfilled needs, decreased user trust and lower brand loyalty.

What is VisioneerHub?

Our motivation is to make everyone part of the product ideation process through a platform for seamless collaboration between product companies, freelance designers and consumers. We encourage these interactions through incentives for all involved parties to foster the creation of next generation products that better match user preferences.

VisioneerHub helps companies validate concepts early on in the product development process. Create campaigns, test market demand and user preferences with paid testers, gain traction with your target audience before launching. Browse designs and contact promising talent!

Designers Sell Product Designs

You are a freelance product designer or you create product designs as a hobby VisioneerHub is the place where you can sell your royalty-free designs. Your work gets noticed by producers so they can approach you with career opportunities!

VisioneerHub empowers you with "Would Buy Potential Product" actions so that you can express interest for a product to be made.
