is defeat victory?

recently i had the very good fortune to be invited by Richard Goode and Simon Smythe to join their nascent organisation Not A Party. i instinctively ducked for cover, declining politely. it is important, when someone asks you to join them, to promptly leave the conversation

why you ask?

indeed i say

but why you ask

mental illness i sidestep

suck it up you say

so i joined them and i am recovering from extreme fun

some thoughts on weed

an post I made in a group of female cannabis users who are debating how best to reach out and support young users

…

I started using weed six years ago. Before that I was rabidly brainwashed against all drugs. I was 100% convinced that drug addicts were murdering raping losers. My doctor said that weed was very dangerous and that I would take off all my clothes and dance on the tables if I smoked any.

I hung out with users for a year or so before I tried it. when I got brave enough to try it,  i instantly knew that it was going to heal my depression. I felt changes happening in my brain. “breakthroughs” that I had not found in 10 years of counselling.

I started calling weed medicine from the outset. then I googled it, and found ACTUAL STUDIES about medicinal benefits.

so, that’s where I come from in terms of my experience.

in the midst of this legalise debate, I’d like to add my two cents worth on children. imo children can be hugely harmed by their parents drug use and their own. however I want to stress that it is NOT THE DRUGS that harm, but the behaviours. grrrrr. difficult to explain what I mean.

people self medicate. they have problems, otherwise they wouldn’t need medicines. these preexisting issues are covered up by the drugs, and the drugs are blamed. BUT no-one knows how terrible things would be without the calming effects of weed.

so I think what I’m saying is that there is a link between use of drugs and problems at home. people have assumed that these links indicate that drugs are bad, because they cause these behaviours.

I’d like to suggest that ABUSE is bad, not weed. Abuse of children, who grow up to be parents, who abuse their children, who grow up to be parents…. etc.

my conclusion, then, is that for us, the grans who want to nurture and direct our community’s youngsters, we can provide very strong and loving rules and realities around harm reduction, realistic levels of usage, awareness, self determination, etc etc.

thus I am advocating #revolution.

we take the decisions away from the government, who are failing us and our children, and we do it ourselves. because the idea of having NO EXPECTATIONS is brainwashing. we have expectations for our children that they be able to grow up healthy and loved. our suicide rate shows that this is not happening.

How the new rewards system works

Minds rewards you with crypto for contributing to the network. The first step in joining our rewards program is to provide your mobile number. We convert your number into a hash ID using SHA-256 encryption and a salt key to create a unique identifier for your account. We do not store your number on our servers.

Rather than rewarding you with Points in real-time, we are now distributing our crypto rewards as a “Daily Reward Pool”. During the test network, we will be experimenting with how the Daily Reward Pool is calculated, but it will ideally be automated based on user participation once we move into the Main Ethereum network.

Every day, we measure your contributions to the network and you receive a “Contribution Score” which can be found in the Contributions section of your wallet. We then calculate how much you contributed to the network relative to the entire community, which determines the percentage of the Daily Reward Pool that you earn.

It is important to note that with the new system, you will only receive credit for unique interaction, and you can only earn credit from another unique user once per metric per day. (If a friend votes on my content 100 times in a day, I will only get credit for 1 vote). This is critical in preventing gaming and abuse of the system as we move into more valuable token rewards. We are essentially measuring how many unique users you reached in a given day.

Daily rewards will be distributed at 02:00 am GMT everyday into your OffChain address.

OnChain vs. Offchain

OffChain tokens are stored on Minds servers, and they can be used the same way that you used your Points. There are no fees, and they can be used to Boost content for more views from the network or to Wire other creators who you support.

You now have the ability to withdraw these tokens into your OnChain address.

OnChain tokens are stored on the Ethereum public blockchain and are accessible from outside of the Minds platform, which is key for further decentralization. OnChain transactions, however, require a small Ethereum “gas” fee, which is the incentive for the Ethereum miners to process the transaction.

For OnChain configuration, you have the ability to use MetaMask (a browser plugin), your mobile device, an existing Ethereum address or you can create your own with Minds. We recommend using MetaMask for the most seamless user experience. You can change this address by clicking on the “Addresses” tab on the wallet menu
