Bitcoin through the lense of multidimensionality and the currency of care. Part two: a call to action


In a multidimensional universe your contribution, however small, can have an impact beyond your imagination. With the currency of care at its foundation, the bitcoin ecosystem is the perfect sandpit and playing field for your collaborative projects and ideas. Here are some prompts to inspire action:

i.

The seeding process

Not unlike a hashtag that changes completely with the slightest variation of input, the Butterfly Effect is evident that any contribution or input into a system, however small, has the potential to impact reality in higher magnitude.

What do you wish to seed?

Share your project idea and invite feedback along the way.

You are in the right place for a fruitful lift off.

j.

A call to action for the educator

Consider the cyberpunk’s MultiSig (multidimensional) Trust Machine as a vehicle to inspire and teach others about what is practically possible in this space. Invite your eager students into your sandpit by initiating a multisig collaborative project so that they can have direct experience of a verifiable, trusted learning space in which to develop their repertoire of knowledge and practice.

You hold the spark and the expertise to inspire others. You and your co-visionaries are the generators that can set things in motion that will affect generations to come. The Trust Machine is your trusted vehicle to teach and lead by example.

Your long-term vision is one of your greatest superpowers.

k.

A call to action for the developer

Materialise your creative vision through initiating the MultiSig Trust Machine to inspire your co-visionaries who travel alongside of you. The codex is yours and you are its custodian and guardian. With deep care, you must look after it.

Reminding you that you aren’t here to do this all by yourself even though you very well may be the one behind your creative genius and chosen project.

In collaboration, maintain a shared focus and vision of and for the greater good – always.

l.

A call to action for the cyberpunk-potentiator

Dream into being an even better version of yourself and consider your creative force as an expression of your multidimensional self that is a precious gift to the world.

You do have that power, and you know you do. In mastery, and in the realm of such unlimited possibility, stay humble.

m.

Suggest or create a new cyberpunk product you wish to see in the shop. And if you can’t think of anything, simply ask your children (or someone else’s children) to dream, and they may very well dazzle you with their ingenuity, luminosity, and brilliance. You already know how far ahead they are in this game. Often, they have access to their multidimensional superpowers, because their heart’s doorway is uncluttered and bear less burden.

Pause. And with your complete attention and presence – listen to the children deeply.

n.

Reminder alert ⚠️

Bitcoin through the lense of multidimensionality and the currency of care reminds us that the human element of care, shared responsibility, togetherness and stewardship not only strengthens the relational fabric of the Bitcoin network but is its foundation. Any attempt to distract you from your collaborations and vision, intentional or otherwise, has no power over you when you hold this as your focus.

Go forward and stay on course. You already have everything you need.

Bitcoin through the lense of multidimensionality and the currency of care. Part one: the lense

Purpose

To encourage reflection.

To dream together in community.

To inspire collaboration and a call to action.

Bitcoin through the lense of multidimensionality

a.

We often hear bitcoiners describe bitcoin as a way out of the matrix.


But what if the matrix is not outside of us, not something we escape from?

What if it lies within us?


If that were true, it would suggest that we create our reality and are far more powerful than we may believe. Any small story we tell about ourselves would be more like a commentary on a small section of a prism rather than a complete or expansive perception of its full spectrum.



Suppose that a segment of 3D reality operates like a narrow frequency band within which distorted images are projected onto the surface of a mirror – illusions of a kind. If we are capable of seeing through those distortions, then we cannot be limited by or confined to them. We must be operating from a wider bandwidth with a multidimensional lense and awareness that is not bound by any surface projection.



The “hall of mirrors” begins to lose its authority the moment we recognise it as a mirror that projects distorted or partial images onto a one-dimensional surface. Clear perception constitutes an alignment with and a capacity to hold a multidimensional view of self, other and reality all at once.


If the matrix is within us, then so is our power to reshape it. The potential to materialise a more coherent and positive future would not come from outside systems, but from the force of our own nature that is the truth of who we are and along with this, a capacity for epic undertakings.


When we sit in stillness we can hear the signal and find that
place deep inside us that knows this to be true.

We are multidimensional.

And the matrix is inside us – not the other way around.

Keanu might have misled us.

b.

The cyberpunk ethos and culture imbue strength, power and integrity that is held in a field of potential and creative force as a form of self-expression in its unique unfoldment:

as developer

as educator

as visionary

as collaborator for positive change

as facilitator

as generator of energy and charge

as potentiator

as the grandchild who sets up a wallet for their grandparent (… in BIP-85 style… just in case)

as the one who holds a deep desire to express themselves fully in freedom

as that someone who inspires and encourages, quietly in the background or loudly also

as that person who you get to play with in the sandpit of possibility

as cyberpunk

The list of heroes and their creations is unlimited.

c.

Yet we need not limit our perception of ourself as a cyberpunk or any other partial identity that we may be attached to.


We are multidimensional beings that cannot be bound by or limited to a cryptographic algorithm, signature or hashtag or any other one-dimensional notion of selfhood.


How do you plan to channel this enormous force of nature that is you?

d.

The base layer of the bitcoin ecosystem is not bitcoin. The base layer of the bitcoin ecosystem is the currency of care.
Were this not to be the case, then bitcoin might never have been dreamt into being. In a movement towards greater alignment both individually and collectively, that genesis moment of Satoshi’s creation (no religious connotations intended) materialised from a desire for the betterment of humanity and a means for doing so. Is that not founded on the very notion of a currency of care?


The Butterfly Effect together with Sheldrake’s thesis of morphic fields and resonance remind us of our interconnectedness; and Satoshi’s creation is the origin point that has enabled a cascade of interacting, coherent fields so that we can interact with each other in freedom and integrity.

Bitcoin becomes more than just about fixing the money then, though that is certainly an inherent quality of its sound foundation.

Who and what do you deeply care about and how will you nourish these bonds that you hold so dearly?

e.

Bitcoin is an ecosystem that is embedded in a relational context. Its base layer can be thought of as each block connected by a bond of affection that weaves the threads linking contributor and participant alike. The next layer up is the ethos of value 4 value, where seeing and honouring another’s beingness by way of their creative force and work, is matched by a voluntary exchange of value that is of our choosing. The value you see reflects your perception within a spectrum ranging from limitation through to limitlessness of self and other in all dimensions of reality.

Do you see a one-dimensional image on the surface of the mirror?



Or not unlike the matrix that lies within you, can you see the mirror within a vast field of your own multidimensional perception and reality?

f.

We are inherently free, prior to any manmade law of unsound foundation.

In his ‘A Cypherpunk’s Manifesto,’ Eric Hughes’ writes that “Privacy is the power to selectively reveal oneself to the world.”1 In this paper, and with razor sharp precision, he brings to light the inherent qualities that make privacy fundamental to choosing in freedom within the transactional realm.


Any and all attempts to limit human freedoms reflects a distortion within a system in which distortions already exist. Where there are distortions in 3D so-called reality, it is our true nature that responds to a deep calling to set in motion the mechanism that can bring about coherence in our individual and collective fields of multidimensionality.


There lies a self-correcting, phase coherent mechanism for aligning to the truth of who we are. And this alignment, this integrity, is the driving force behind dreaming into being a new reality for ourselves and humanity as a whole.


It is our nature force that dreamt bitcoin into material existence in this reality.


Any and all intent that does not reflect our true nature is evident of misaligned and incoherent forces within or without.


Where does your reference point lie?

1 Hughes, E. (1993, March 9). A Cypherpunk’s Manifesto; https://cdn.nakamotoinstitute.org/docs/cypherpunk-manifesto.txt

g.

A transactional exchange within the bitcoin ecosystem is not just about privacy, nor mathematical algorithms, formulas, or cryptography, though all critical and foundational elements. It could also be considered a transmission that lubricates an interface of layers of creation, seeing, witnessing, honouring, protecting, and dreaming of what is possible.

And the quantum-physical conception of possibility necessitates a multidimensional model of both consciousness and reality.

h.

Can the bitcoin protocol be a coherent system of renewal that flows through the fabric of reality? Which by design, also holds the potential for our human capacity to align and connect with an underlying universal current that flows through all dimensions of reality?


Through the lense of Bohm’s implicate order thesis, we are already at the doorway where our genius can spontaneously take form and where our self-expression can begin to penetrate all layers of reality. All that is required is precise, aligned action and its unfoldment in order to perceive what is already there beneath the surface of our 3D reality.

Summary

The bitcoin ecosystem contains a latent potential comparable to a field of possibilities whose expression is dependent on the dynamics of participant interaction in the network. Founded on the currency of care, aligned participation acts as a catalyst that allows potential to manifest into coherent collective activity.


This relationship can be summarised as

where P represents the latent potential of the ecosystem, A represents aligned participation and r represents the coherence that emerges.

More specifically

Where:

P = latent potential of the ecosystem

N = number of participants in the ecosystem

ai = actions of participant i

hi = alignment of those actions with care, stewardship, integrity and shared responsibility

r = coherence that emerges across the ecosystem


This formulation is analogous to Kuramoto’s mathematical model of synchronisation where oscillators with different natural frequencies become phase aligned when the coupling between them increases. Coupling strength in human networks constitutes the quality of relationships and interactions amongst participants whose manifest expression takes the form of a coordinated, collective reality and an evolutionary resilience of an ecosystem comparable to bitcoin.

Conclusion

In the same way that an orchestra produces harmony when musicians play in synchronised unity, the bitcoin ecosystem strengthens in its coherence and vitality when it is founded on a relational currency characterised by care, integrity, responsibility and a shared vision for creating a positive future for humanity and the generations to come.

Like musical notation, each of us has a unique frequency and fingerprint, and in togetherness we make up the music of the spheres, the musica universalis. In collaborative alignment, we hold the possibility for creating ethereal harmony in the celestial spheres through our inherent multidimensionality that threads through all dimensions of reality.

The Pythagoreans invite us to dream into being a resonant ecosystem of beauty and strength comparable to the vibration of the celestial spheres – allowing for the full expression of our collective genius. Our relational currency of care that forms the foundation upon which our human network is built upon, each block connected by a bond of affection, can further grow and flourish. The orchestra and audience can come together and create a collective harmonic rhythm and resonance that offers genuine uplifting and power to the people.

Sudo-Nyms

Cyberpunk Hardware is created by Nyms and you can become one. The more anonymous you are the better. This article outlines some basics about how to keep your identity anonymous and still have some fun along the way.

Changing Nyms

A good habit is to use a new Nym for every platform that you communicate on. It is also a good idea to change those Nyms randomly. Note that you can’t change your Nym on this platform and many others, in this case you just make a new login. Keep all you logins in your password manager.

Nym Style

Change your nym’s online style as much as you can. Type differently, spell correctly or not, use different languages, have preferences for different communication platforms, anything you can come up with is fine and it often happens naturally. Using different Nyms simultaneously for different areas of interest is also a good idea. Whatever quirks you have all adds up to provide better anonymity set for the group, this makes us stronger, fairer and more resilient.

Anonymous Unity

We have some symbols that we can use publicly that will link us together on an anyone can opt in basis and helps us gather notariaty and make a bigger impact.

Put a 💀 at the start or end of your Nym on cyberpunk hardware chats and elsewhere. 🕯️ and 🙏 are also a nod to our cultish sense of humour. You can also use the cyberpunk colours in your avatar art.

The current official tags are:

💀<YOURNYM>-Cyberpunk

or

💀CBRPNK<random number> eg: 💀CBRPNK1038

To add flare you can add emojis at the end (⚡️ indicates lightning)

💀Zealout-Cyberpunk

💀CPH-02-Cyberpunk⚡️

If you think you are a decorated Cyberpunk you can add to it whatever you like ⭐️💎🔥. If we maintain this structure it is good for publicity, all our activities compound, but beware it makes our anonymous nyms more searchable and people can easily impersonate them.

PGP Keys and NOSTR

Once you are more advanced you cannot trust a Nym by itself, you need verification. We get more of this through NOSTR where identities are protected by a unique Nsec key and you can build a long term zap linked reputation. This is a good place to start but in order to bridge between changing NOSTR profiles and to other online platforms we use PGP keys. You can see what one looks like here on a CyberSignedPage https://pop-os.tail70df5.ts.net/ later we will make a post detailing how to set this up for yourself.

The Hazard of IRL

In real life contact is great, but when trying to create an anonymous group it has to be done carefully, because it tends to reveal real identities. You can use one of your Cyberpunk Nyms in real life, but you should keep one dedicated to this and you should try to just use that Nym when you are meeting people face to face. It is recommended that you choose a Nym that is a normal sounding name that people will be inclined to call you and that you will naturally respond to.

Splits

With bitcoin based infrastructure cyberpunks can do many things to make sure they get rewarded for their work.

LNBits Split Payments

All our payments are in bitcoin and we have a LN Bits checkout, using the Split Payments plug in we can easily add Nyms to the distribution of bitcoin coming in. We simply add a wallet ID, invoice key, LNURLp or Lightning Address to the main wallet and it automatically diverts funds there. These are called “Target Wallets.”

We just need to decide who is doing what and what % payment that it’s worth. Something for sale, admin, dispatch and after sales service. We can then even have wallets for each department and then split out payments again to individual cyberpunks from there.

We can also do split payments with donations, zaps and streaming payments.

Affiliates

In the website we have a self-directed affiliate coupon system. Use a fun name and email (one that works for email not a cyberpunk one) in the application form on the Nym page and you are in.

You will see your stats and your checkout code at the top. Eg FATSYUM10. If you go to the Referral URL you will see a URL like this

https://cyberpunkhardware.co/?coupon=fatsyum10

You can post that stuff anywhere you like.

People who use your code will get a 10% discount and you will get a 5% commission.

If you are successful, we can issue more codes for you and they will each get their own dashboard. The better you are the better the deal, the more cyberpunk sells the better the cost basis for everyone.

Nodes

We can connect our nodes to the payment terminal on the sites and that way we all share in the routing fees. This hubness also compounds as we build the Cyberpunk shillopolis and everyone wants to connect to our nodes.

Posts

Cyberpunks can contribute to sites by making funny or useful comments and by creating Posts from anonymous Nyms. These are not like blog posts or social media , we have Nostr for that, they are meant to be living documents. The Posts on the clear-net sites are distributed to all our clear-net sites and are a resource like a handbook or manual for cyberpunk activities. They get updated, forked and refined.

You will need to build a reputation as a Cyberpunk to get your draft Post published

  1. Get a Nym
  2. Make some comments and contribute to current projects
  3. Make contributions on the Gitea or Github
  4. Do cyberpunky things for the Community, … Sorry some of the details are not defined.
  5. Once you attain sufficient trust you will get the ability to make Posts by logging ihttps://cyberpunkhardware.co/wp-admin/post-new.phpn to the site admin directly or by clicking the button below or on your Nym dashboard to make a draft. If you can only make a draft, let everyone know about it in the cyberpunk chat rooms and other cyberpunks will review it for publishing.
  6. Once posts are refined and well established we can cross post them to NOSTR.

Tor Websites

Cyberpunks know that tor is the way that the internet should naturally be:
anonymous, peer-to-peer, permissionless, not rented and gate kept like clearnet. Cyberpunks are cooler when they drop hidden services and shill them here. It gives you credibility.

Treat this space like a billboard for your skills.

Services

Our nodes and open-source stacks like Start9 offer many services you can run over Tor. Post a link in the comments. If it stays alive long-term, we’ll feature it more prominently.

Html is the most cool

When making a custom site, we like to keep things styled like this one. Old-school just works best. We also love ASCII!

You can find example HTML and a .css style sheet at our Gitea or GitHub.

Style consistency keeps it cyber. Stick with Changa titles and Fira Mono text. If you want to get artistic, mix up the colors—but stay on brand.

Ghost Site

Ghost is an easy way to spin up a slick blog and mailing list. You can post there more privately than on this page. Use it as a proof-of-work zone. Earn your PGP studs.

So don’t hold back! The internet is yours and by converging here, we all get more!

Zapvertising

You can pledge allegiance by tagging the main groups and posting a photo of your cyberpunk project. You will get zapped back for it and we all win because it helps build the brand.

Significant bitcoin has been allocated to this, you just need to get started. You can find post material here.

Node Givaways

If you create a nostr account and post a node givaway competition you will get zapped for it. The competition can be whatever you like but generally it should raise funds and awareness for cyberpunk hardware.

Monetisation Methods

BTC Pay and LNBIts Checkout

These apps allow us to sell products and services through our websites. You can sell items you have, drop ship, raise funds in a presale or with a specific fund raising donation rally. You can simply purchase the items that we currently have listed, start promoting them, use your promo code and you can fulfil the order yourself. First sales all profit will go to the facilitator, later on and if you percentages will be detailed in the Splits and Coupons posts (tbc).

Details of product specifications and sources are held publicly in the Gitea. There are also tuition programmes that we developed publicly which you can run and charge for.

You can create new products and services and you can put them on the store after becoming an admin just by logging in. You can also do this without restriction using the Nostr Marketplace.

Direct Payments

V4V all the way, but if you do it under the cyberpunk banner we all benefit from increased brand recognition. We can use these to encourage each other online when providing education or just when shilling the brand on things like nostr and stackernews.

Splits

We set up splits for lightning payments. These automatically transmit bitcoin from the payment to the contributors. A percentage can be set up and left as it is or it can be updated. These apply to the store, direct payments, micropayments and donations. A description of the existing split structure is transparent and available to studded cyberpunks.

Nostr Marketplace

Set up a stall on the cyberpunk nostr market place. You can feel free to use our artwork and sell the same products. This allows you to be in control over your store, but it still helps build economies of scale, brand recognition and the LSP.

Gathering Stackers

People who may be interested in what we are doing but don’t have time to dive in can join us in multisig trust machines. This has real monetisation value as we know that people who are bitcoiners will be high value contacts and they will be mathematically linked with us. By gathering good bitcoiners and keeping bitcoin safe we build a foundation upon which larger plans can be built. Bigger much more profitable opportunities are in the works.

Pumping the Privacy LSP

By using our network of nodes for our economic activity, we help increase their flow which gives us more in-betweeness and improves our routing. Connect a channel channels to the nodes listed in the footers. If your channel is good, one of our other nodes will make a connection back to you for the same amount. Once you are in, we will list your node with ours as part of our LSP mesh.

Shilling the Memes for Sats

Cyberpunk hardware has created an archive of memes and gifs. You can find them on the gitea under swag and in the swag channel in discord. Shill them on nostr or any lightning enabled channel in order to collect sats in return from people who you help get excited about our cause. Also existing cyberpunks who see it will tip you for encouragement. Use #cyberpunkhardware and #cybers so other punks can see your stuff.

Any comments or new ideas, leave them below!

MultiSig Trust Machine

Backstory

I started a bitcoin multisig with a couple of new friends. We each put the same amount of bitcoin in a 2-of-3 and agreed that we would each stack equally as much as we could, with the goal of pooling some funds for testing and maybe to go towards a new bitcoin project. It wasn’t that serious.

The next week we were talking about starting a business and adding 10 times as much bitcoin to the wallet. A month later we had meetings started working on things. Later websites and a community are brewing. This MultiSig linked us together in a subtle subconscious way, we would lose honour if we were to neglect or misuse it. When trust is not broken it grows.

Dramas of life and all types of issues that build up when working together are put into perspective by the multisig. Commitment is anchored to something that is well defined. Members can and must trust each other not to rug pull, but also can trust each other not to back out in less tangible ways. The MultiSig helped us to understand the scale of the group’s plan and to weigh each individuals perspective towards our goals effectively. Unseen things come to light faster.

We 10x the size of the wallet again, plans are growing and now we have investors copying the same model with funds into different multisig wallets with us. Bitcoin is stacked, we have brands, concepts and a new simple way of doing things. The multisigs add a self organising layer of measured human relationships and allow a new futuristic type of organisation.

It turns out we don’t need any legacy systems involved in the organisation. Individuals don’t even need to be Cyberpunks. We can scale by allowing multisigs to appear and overlap wherever people want them, giving us global scaling without fiat complexity. Many small groups with their own multisigs, much like ours, that work together openly and separately. Organisation is easy.

What?

It is just a collaborative multisig wallet, you can get it for free, but we call it a Trust Machine. It combines multiple humans in control over bitcoin. This is a new form of ownership that has not been well defined in the fiat or legal system and which in a way supersedes it. “Code is law” is combined with the natural law between people. This allows us to coordinate with each other in an economic way without any other contractual connection.

Cyberpunk Hardware is open-source and formed anonymously in the style of bitcoin. Cyberpunks can operate the old ways but only interact with Cyberpunk Hardware using bitcoin. The more multisig relationships a cyberpunk has the more we can trust them.

Why?

It is easy to think of things in business the way people always have, but we see all these bitcoin businesses getting rugged by fiat systems. We want to build a resilient bitcoin organisation. The first step is building strong relationships. This makes the foundation of the organisation we can measure the value of this in bitcoin, but on top of that we also build intangible strengths like trust, commitment and coordination.

By only trading with bitcoin, we keep the organisations focus on bitcoin so we can do truly productive things. We think this will pay off long term.

How it works?

It’s simple really you just set up a collaborative multisig, but through our experience the magic comes through three main functions:

1. Collaborative Bitcoin Fund

The bitcoin mulitisig wallet allows people to easily pool resources for a common purpose. You could call this a trust minimised de-intermediated investment club or an autonomous cooperative fundraising system.

Communication channels in the multisig are important, they mean that everyone is kept in the know and relevant info for each multisig is silo easily. Clear information about spending is kept in one place and all participants are included in each decision to the degree defined by the rules of the multisig.

Investments are measured against the value of bitcoin and only spend if a threshold of signers agree. I expect the grounding in bitcoin makes investments wiser. In this story 2 of the 3 members of the MultiSig can leave with their initial contributions or more if the other members agree. You can create your own plan or none at all, but it seems that less rules end up being more fair. The longer this social and financial trust lasts the stronger it becomes.

2. Insurance Bond

The multisig is also a “bond” which enables members to contribute to projects in intangible ways. The insurance between the members means that if at any point in time one member should not live up to the natural law of the group in any way, the other two parties have the ability to enforce whatever they feel is financially just. This means some members can work hard and not contribute as much financially whilst others can work less but provide insurance of their commitment.

3. Enduring Volatility

The more volatility in the bitcoin price the multisig endures, the stronger it becomes. It helps you HODL! More often than not the group is more emotionally stable. If the group doesn’t handle the volatility, from free market perspective this is probably for a good reason. The groups collaboration is necessarily lower time preference than a single person and this is a good HODL tech.

How it Grows

Cyberpunk Hardware ideally would see multisigs of different types being started. These could be with people from anywhere that you are interested in collaborating with. Start with a comfortable amount. The main thing is finding people who are curious enough.

The multisig can be simply set up with idea of putting the funds towards your goals. We can then link up privately or in this chat to keep track of our progress. We each start other multisigs and expand to create a shared passion for Cyberpunk Hardware around the world.

Spec

Nunchuk app runs on most operating systems and provides us our multisig tech on bitcoin mainchain. (We are also interested in smaller lightning multisigs with groups like bitpac)

– Groups should not have more than 8 people in them. (studies say that more than that is to hard to organise) and probably best to start with 3 or 4 until things get moving.

– The signer threshold depends upon the amount of trust in your group, I recommend starting with a simple 2 of 3, lower threshold imply more trust.

– Consider fault tolerance, a large group means more chance of people wanting to leave the multisig and having to reform it with different members requiring transaction fees. Higher signer thresholds are slower to approve and are more susceptible to inactive members or lost keys.

Tapsigners and hardware wallets like the SeedSigner are great multisig tools as you can easily back them up and keep your keys cold whilst still being able to quickly use them alongside Nunchuck on your phone.

The Kicker

Collaborative multisigs are a new magical human layer on top of magical internet money but we think they are very logical. Multisigs combine psychology, modern organisation theory and sound money to create something we the world has never seen before and likely will be a core part of the bitcoin economy. So hurry up, it can be your story too.
