Family and Friends,

I feel compelled to share a few thoughts on saving wealth and retaining its value. A topic which I’ve spent considerable time contemplating recently.

We all spend the majority of our time and energy working to earn our wealth and therefore it is wise that we spend at least a few moments here considering how we might preserve that wealth once we have earned it.

With out a long winded analysis or going into a lot of technical details I wanted to offer the strategy I’m applying to my own finances.

1. Generate wealth through my occupation.

Conflating Puerto Rico with Small Town Caribbean Destinations

When I first heard some of my friends were moving to Puerto Rico in 2016, I chalked it up to an early retirement type move. Having spent some time in different Caribbean islands, what came to mind was nice beach resorts, a super small town feel & traveling a far distance from any other major population center.

After visiting Puerto Rico I have found all my assumptions to be wrong.

April 2021, we made an investment in Titan IO Inc., a company the DLTx team believes will be an industry leader in pooled bitcoin mining operations. In recent years, we have witnessed a maturation in the digital asset mining sector with larger, more sophisticated players entering the space, and seen a significant opportunity in the development of tools and services to support this rapid growth. Titan provides miners with sophisticated mining-specific software and the ability to participate in North America’s first enterprise-grade mining pool.

The DLTx team is impressed by the combined decades of blockchain/software engineering experience the Titan team…

Today, we are excited to introduce DLT and our vision to the world!

The ultimate disruption in employment, business and economics is here. That is the transition from the human to the machine based economy. Starting with computers, & robotics in decades past and now in earnest with advances in artificial intelligence, self driving cars, drones and so on. The vast majority of the world’s productive labor and soon the majority of its productive brian power will be machine based.

There is a whole cottage industry of news articles, books, speakers and people worried about this change or at least who make money feeding off the public’s concern about this trend and how…

Recently Starlink’s Terms of Service gave us all a peak into SpaceX’s view of how governance will work in space. In a nut shell companies and people living and working in Low Earth orbit or on the Earth’s Moon will fall under the jurisdiction of their Earth based country / state of incorporation, while governance on Mars will be set by those that settle there one day.

The SpaceX team has mentioned that they drew inspiration for their framework from the Space Declaration “Rights and Responsibilities by Humanity in the Universe”.

Which states:

This November 2020 marks the 400th anniversary that my ancestor Degory Priest signed the Mayflower Compact after landing in Cape Cod in 1620.

While Degory passed away shortly after arriving in the new world, his wife and daughters would continue living in the Americas and their descendants would pioneer west for generations to come.

What I find fascinating is how, despite only recently finding out about Degory, my own motivations in life have so closely mirror the motivations of my ancestor. …

When version 2.5 of PegNet goes live, it will come with a new set of names to make it clear which software to use for what. PegNet Miner, PegNet Staker, and PegNet Client will be the new names. Since everyone has to update for version 2.5 anyway, now is a good time to make the name change too. Be sure to upgrade.

The Problem:

Right now there are confusing names for several of the repositories that provide functions to run PegNet.

For example “PegNet” is what used to be the reference miner, however early on Prosper Miner was open sourced and got…
