Networking / Midwest/Central US?

I know there are a few of us scattered about here and there, but have not yet as far as I've known been able to make any sort of official meetup, at least not with any intended purpose. I've met with a few on an individual basis, but nothing ritual oriented either. Just want to throw the possibility out there, although my transportation is limited, perhaps it's something to keep in mind for the future.

Member Introductions / Oi* lo, ya ho mah big toe!

Old tophat here, some will remember my shiny glass toof. Active around 2k8, things went through a self kill, been hearing the call of the seas again... xaos never died. Neither am I, though I once was. Looking to get into the thick of it this time, no longer wishing to live out the rest of this in the cobwebbed armchair much longer.

At any rate, I thought I'd provide a formal introduction, I see some people are still keeping the vigil...and while there's lots of names I am unfamiliar with, I'd rather submit myself as a newcomer once again, for I claim to know nothing.

Going through the requisite reading again, hopefully with plethora of fresh eyes on this and other material, but also to practice and build upon it.

Dreams in the recent weeks have shaken things up on my end, hoping to reconnect with you all.

The idea is in its conceptual stages at this point, some of the finer points go beyond my technical knowledge outside of basic familiarity.

It combines equal portions folding@home, Bitcoin/blockchain technology, p2p networking, and magick. The idea is to take current technology and create a digital representation of the Ellis web.

Sigils would be empowered via donated CPU/GPU cycles, a la folding@home or bitcoin mining's proof-of-work models. Distribution and verification could also take place in this fashion, and/or on top of a decentralized file-sharing system such as a central magnet link/torrent.

The torrent itself, along with a central tracker/server would be easy enough to implement, however creating or even piggybacking on bitcoin/blockchain technology is beyond my scope of expertise. Brand new technology need not be created from scratch, existing cryptocurrencies could be co-opted or a new one could be forked from existing.

Some preliminary research seems to indicate perhaps creating a new cryptocurrency may not be as difficult as initially imagined, but I will continue to do some research and see how this can be approached. If anyone cares to lend any insight or expertise, feel free.
