Hey all.

Given that I’m partly working on bringing forth Patronage As An Asset Class, I started work on reasoning about what rates are effective & reasonable.

My current thinking is that if have a Harberger Collectible, and the use-value is primarily collection + patronage, then the rate should actually be quite high. Over 100%. Read more about it here.

In discussion, Niran Babalola, recommend rather thinking about it in terms of a purchase multiplier. Recommended reading.

Working in tandem with the Wild Cards team, we’ve been working on a standard of Harberger Collectibles on Ethereum. If you are interested, take a look.

Also: I’m super, super excited to see Abraham finally and officially announce itself to the world. This is the grandest attempt at putting an “Artist In The Cloud”, including the capability of having philosophy of mind. This Artonomous on steroids. I’m excited to participate.

Lastly. I’ve been mostly spending my time writing my novel. It’s actually properly becoming. I usually approach large creative projects like this with trepidation, because one never knows during a journey whether one might drop out. I have written a non-fiction book before on blockchain technology, and got stuck on endless revisions that meant it never saw the light of day. You can read the first and second manuscripts on Github. I wrote the first draft in 2014. So, I know how this could still derail. Regardless, I’m ~16,000 words in and still excited to join in, on the world I’m creating.

This novel will come along with its own soundtrack, something which I’ve been really enjoying creating as an endeavour on its own. You can listen to WIP tracks here and here.

With that said: I’m looking to commission artists to draw up some concept art based on the prologue & blurb. If you know any illustrators that want to tackle concept art about a near-future sci-fi novel, let me know.

I will unveil more soon. :)

Until next time. Remember to take time to watch a sunset!
