03/30/2023, 10:52 AMHi, 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

04/05/2023, 1:23 PMHi 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? :)

04/05/2023, 1:58 PMHi 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 :)
