Hi, Gregory here. Living in the medieval town of Youghal, steeped in the past thinking about the future. Seems like text is making a big comeback. Which is good for me as my current work has been described as a "great leap backwards". It's an attempt to nurture a creative middle class and it all starts with this patent: https://patents.google.com/patent/US11455625B2

Text is great, but sometimes it takes more than words

Holeheartedly!

Did slack decide my previous comment* was inappropriate graffiti?

* "Sorry if my words are too extreme"

I don't like what I'm not seeing here!

Haha… they must have asked their AI to remove extreme views.. which is what it did.

Hi Greg! I'm curious about the patent system... Congratulations for receiving it! Though I'm having hard times understanding how it describes something different than... having a payment link? What is the novel aspect? :)

Hi Leonard, The tokens embedded in the URL.. When you access the link you have a token in the URL that I can take as payment and that token is considers spent. It involves a trusted third party so it’s not crypto but if you’re subscribing to anything, Spotify, substack etc. you’re already using a third party and this is a way for them to exchange value amongst themselves and open up the walled garden, BUT as it’s not in their interests at the moment I had to build a platform myself :)
