Stanford Mine Pi Cryptocurrency as a way toward partnering could become the basis for single crypto-currency in all ~200 countries. ~ PLEASE TEST IT IN ALL THE COUNTRIES YOU ARE IN.

Rifai, All,

For your Sri Lankan friends and friends potentially in all the 200 countries in the world, here's the daily mineable free cryptocurrency, - Stanford Mine Pi cryptocurrency. Use this code - sgkmac - minepi.com/sgkmac

- and, on your smartphone (or friends' smartphones), and which could become the basis for single crypto-currency in all ~200 countries. PLEASE TEST IT IN ALL THE COUNTRIES YOU ARE IN. Am accumulating it Pi daily, via mining (am up to 1,067 Pi units! - and feels like I earn 5 or 10 Pi every day) ... and if WUaS could help you accumulate this money - and then have it be able to buy things in your countries - that would be a way for you to become partners. Then what happens after it could buy goods in your countries, and WUaS, for example, was able to reimburse you in much larger amounts, than you might earn daily via mining! Cool ... If you like, use Rifai's or Tanya's "Mine Pi" code alternatively too!

Am thinking this might be much more relevant for the WUaS Press and Corporation wing ... but it could be very beneficial on the World Univ & Sch wing too ... could you eventually buy a house, or buy an airplane trip, or buy expensive things to put into a house, or anything else that a credit card might buy now? COOL ... and what would happen if this were legitimized by your countries' central banks even ... RAD ... :)

Imad, Prasanth, Chinmay, friends you know of - Aviv in Indonesia sent in his college and high school transcripts!!! in addition to the MIT OCW courses he plans to take this autumn ... with potentially an additional research methods MIT OCW course for WUaS PhD students.

And WUaS just today participated in a Stanford EPIC conference ... and is hoping our further WUaS Bachelor degrees will emerge out of this for 9/1/21 too! :)

Cheers, Scott

Dear Larry,

Mr. Nur in Indonesia sent in his transcripts the other day (in addition to, and as a first for WUaS, having sent in his 1st semester PhD program courses from MIT OCW - in statistics and economics). Has he been communicating with fellow Indonesian John Engelen - https://www.linkedin.com/in/nehemiaengelen/ - whom I know from Stanford Law, with a degree from Stanford Law too - and who could possibly be the lawyer in Indonesia who could help facilitate reimbursement to WUaS from a department of education in Indonesia via WUaS G-Suite for Education regarding Aviv Nur ? To be seen ...

Am continuing to think of licensing (with accreditation) as an advantage (but also with disadvantages) ... and BPPE seems to be 'down for the count,' in the internet age, too ... https://twitter.com/CaBPPE ... and would therefore think that WUaS accreditation, somehow through (or under the wing of) Stanford, were this possible, would be advantageous, and regarding also the Saturday Stanford EPIC Global Education 5/22/21 conference, which I just attended. And I think John Etchemendy, as a former vice provost (or similar) with John Hennessy, at Stanford, has a long history with accrediting Stanford too. Here's a recent Tweet from Stanford Law Professor Hank Greely in these regards -

"A comment from John Etchemendy, former Stanford provost, opposing some student promotion of "abolishing" the Stanford police. https://stanforddaily.com/2021/05/20/letters-to-the-editor-abolish-stanford-and-reinstating-sports/ I don't always agree with Etch but do on this point. This seems to me the wrong target if one wants to fix US policing.
https://twitter.com/HankGreelyLSJU/status/1395957419738423297?s=20 from May 21, 2021

(Sounds like a somewhat political message - from conflicted Etchemendy himself??? - and I don't think Stanford will abolish their internal police (who may also be county or state police concurrently) - and I'm not sure how all this will fix US policing??? - and at the federal authorities' level, to complement fixing California's policing ... and Stanford may be threatened by all of these external policing questions too ... and in a longstanding confusing conversation about this to boot). Glad Hank Greely posted this on Twitter however, information-wise, and from his perspective as a Stanford law professor, and perhaps also a progressive Twitter legal voice of Stanford too (re biological engineering, and law ... and for example this; he's brilliant too).

And I and WUaS still haven't heard back from the Stanford Faculty Senate about my whistle-blowing about some of this too a few years ago.

On another note, is mineable Stanford Mine Pi anticipating everything the US government could want and need in a single cryptocurrency (and in comparison with all the other 10s of 1000s I think cryptocurrencies?) - & workable potentially in all 200 countries - and would an act of US legislation be the next step to make it part of the US economic system even? - and also especially to even help alleviate poverty worldwide, among most of 7.8 billion people ...

I also haven't heard back from Stanford EPIC Global Education yet - to both of my recent before and after emails, but am glad I, on behalf of WUaS, attended the symposium on Saturday 5/22/21 - and asked, too, a question of keynote speaker US Department of Education Senior Direction Cheryl Gibbs - about how many foreign students were taking US community college classes, as something WUaS could build on. Perhaps WUaS funding will be forthcoming from the US Dept of Education - and am updating Grants.gov password again momentarily - and with educational infrastructure from Stanford EPIC Global Education too ...

What next with Aviv, and our WUaS PhD program, now that he's sent in his first year courses, and his transcripts? (No further word back from Imad - who may be working on this, ... and not a single communication in many many weeks from Prasanth, or I think his schoolmate Chinmay).

More about some of this here -

Dear Larry,

As a follow up: 1st 'TERM' PhD program courses from MIT OCW (3 TERMS per year at WUaS, each 4 months long, rather than SEMESTERS, at least for now, until we possibly connect further with Stanford EPIC Global Education) in addition to this

"MIT Interdisciplinary PhD in Economics and Statistics"

program pathway, with many courses -

Hello Sir, thank you for this email. I'm really looking forward to taking my first year in #WUaSPhDdegrees. I'm interested to take these courses:

1. Fundamentals of Probability: https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/6-436j-fundamentals-of-probability-fall-2018/

2. Statistics for Applications: https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mathematics/18-650-statistics-for-applications-fall-2016/

I choose these two courses based on this program pathway: https://stat.mit.edu/academics/idps/idps-economics/

thanks

Aviv Alvian Nur, SST

HP. 0812 1232 3411

Can WUaS collaborate with MIT and regarding this "MIT Interdisciplinary PhD in Economics and Statistics" program, here even for Aviv, even as Aviv takes the 1st term of MIT OCW courses?

Sincerely,

Scott
