Expression of interest to partner with World University and School

Hi !

It depends on when the mainnet launch and acceptance of Pi as a currency. Also if you are in a crypto friendly region. Yes ! If you can increase your team and install the PC node.

Central Banks would be the last to accept.

Regards,

Rifai 


Hi Sri Lanka World Univ & Sch head, Rifai, Universitians, All, 

I had to look up 'the mainnet launch' ... and found, regarding #WUaSBlockChainLedger planning too - https://twitter.com/hashtag/WUaSBlockchainLedger?src=hashtag_click - 

this recent Tweet - 
1 #DigitalCurrency in <200 countries w 1 #RealisticVirtualUniverse >https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/05/purple-chinese-houses-collinsia.html like #StanfordMinePi #PiCryptocurrency w #WUaSBlockchainLedger >mining space re heavy industries wi #WUaSRobotics >1 #ActualVirtual #PhysicalDigital #RealisticVirtualEarthForLego for ALL

Outer space is another big REGION, which WUaS is planning for in seeking to facilitate a single realistic virtual universe / earth for everything (including 3D modeling and mapping, at the cellular and molecular levels too ... think Google Street View with TIME SLIDER, Maps, Earth, TensorFlowAI, Translate + ...  ) - https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualUniverse?src=hashtag_click

Here's helpful information about MainNet (in contrast to a cryptocurrency TestNet) - 

Mainnet is the term used to describe when a blockchain protocol is fully developed and deployed, meaning that cryptocurrency transactions are being broadcasted, verified, and recorded on a distributed ledger technology (blockchain). ... In 2017, many blockchain startups decided to perform ICO crowdfunding events.
https://academy.binance.com/en/glossary/mainnet

Beginner’s Guide: What Is A Mainnet In Cryptocurrency?
Mainnets are important in part because they provide a clear value of a cryptocurrency in a real-world implementation. Let’s check out what this is and how it works.
Mainnet in cryptocurrency provides an easy way of gauging a blockchain project’s success when prices are difficult to predict. It is an important technology feature that anyone looking to invest in an Initial Coin Offering should have a clear idea about, before putting any money to use.
https://101blockchains.com/what-is-a-mainnet-in-cryptocurrency/

As you know, World Univ & Sch is planning to create major online universities in all ~200 countries/regions (and I haven't looked up how many countries have people already mining Pi cryptocurrency)! - and in outer space too, a very enormous region. Hopefully WUaS might collaborate with Google infrastructure regarding your mention of setting up nodes.

But will Google-Stanford-Mine-Pi-World-Univ-and-Sch set up one MainNet, and Bitcoin another Mainnet, and Etherium another Mainnet - and all the biggest cryptocurrencies their own Mainnets of blockchain ledgers ... as other companies, like vehicle companies set up their own blockchain ledger Mainnets for their products, and parts, and potentially for cryptocurrency purchases as well? (A quick search about this yielded - https://www.coindesk.com/tag/mainnet - with even a mention of Wikipedia's competitor, Everipedia (???), setting up their own Mainnet )

And a team regarding Volvo, Stanford, Blekinge Institute of Technology (in Sweden too) and Carnegie Mellon University may have emerged regarding WUAS Academic Collaborations this week; see too - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/06/kildeer-stanford-bth-cmu-volvo-meeting.html - with Volvo mention of payloads and cargo loads, suggesting an emerging possible Volvo heavy vehicle focus on outer space.

And how would Payloads be paid for in cryptocurrency in the future: 

Space #payloads & #cargoloads?
#ActualVirtual, #PhysicalDigital   #RealisticVirtualUniverse #RealisticVirtualUniverseForLego #RealisticVirtualEarthForRobotics w #AvatarBotElectronicMedicalRecords in #WUaSMedicalSchools
Mars Perseverance trip ~ https://youtu.be/gL6rVpKniyY
GREAT video

Many countries' central banks would probably accept robust Google infrastructure NODES, I'd think ... if after being set up, if it all worked, and was secure etc and could even end poverty for example through Universal Basic Income experiments. 

Thanks for the ideas of how a mineable cryptocurrency might all work moving ahead, Rifai ...

Regards, Scott

Stanford ME310 Global Team Volvo "Edge Talk Prep" Meeting (With OTTER.AI: )

W, June 2, 2021

Edge Talk: Academic Collaboration Solutions - View the Recording now


Dear Maggie, Peter, George Toye, Christian, John R., All, 

Thank you so much for the opportunity to join Yesterday's Stanford-BTH-CMU-Volvo meeting, and the Volvo group meeting the day before too. (Unfortunately, I couldn't glance at the video since, as you'll read below, I used my scottmacleod100@hotmail.com address to sign up for MS Teams, but am using this sgkmacleod@worlduniversityandschool.org email for communications with all of you, and MS Teams didn't allow the MS hotmail address just now, and didn't recognize the worlduniversityandschool.org email address).


As I asked at the very close of the W June 2, 2021 presentations: "All, in what ways could one extend computer vision to 3D modeling for subsequent construction steps - and even with a #FilmTo3D App, brainstorming-wise (but not yet coded for)? Thank you! - Scott (sgkmacleod@worlduniversityandschool.org)" .. I also had in mind from a contemporary smartphone. .. and please see - https://twitter.com/hashtag/FilmTo3D?src=hashtag_click - I also asked about how such a #FilmTo3D application for construction might be created at the atomic and molecular levels (in addition to the cellular level).

And while 'payloads' and 'cargo loads' were mentioned in the meeting on Tuesday re the Volvo (heavy vehicle) meeting, and you might find this Tweet's image relevant in regards to these terms . . . 

1 #DigitalCurrency in <200 countries w 1 #RealisticVirtualUniverse >https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/05/purple-chinese-houses-collinsia.html like #StanfordMinePi #PiCryptocurrency w #WUaSBlockchainLedger >mining space re heavy industries wi #WUaSRobotics >1 #ActualVirtual #PhysicalDigital #RealisticVirtualEarthForLego for ALL

https://twitter.com/HarbinBook/status/1389062709052727302?s=20
. . . these terms weren't mentioned yesterday.

And here are my previous emails to Maggie, John R, Christian, and All, - by way of introduction regarding CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare-centric wiki World University and School, which I'm developing, as well as regarding facilitating a single Realistic Virtual Earth For Everything, especially STEM - https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForSTEM?src=hashtag_click :

Dear Christian and Joakim, (Maggie and John),

Very nice to meet you this morning (SF Bay Area, Pacific Time). Here are the emails I shared with John and Maggie regarding a single Actual-Virtual, Physical-Digital Realistic Virtual Universe for everything, and much more. See you tomorrow.

World Univ & Sch is somewhat #ActualVirtual, #PhysicalDigital centric - https://twitter.com/hashtag/ActualVirtual?src=hashtag_click - for STEM research sites, and as classrooms, and as a ginormous data project at street view, cellular and atomic/molecular levels in one realistic virtual cosmos emerges. 

Best, Scott
PS
Brainstorming-wise further, here is the beginning of Sweden World University and School - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Sweden - planned in the Swedish language with free-to-students' WUaS CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare courses and degrees in Swedish too .

WUaS Nation_States' Universities - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States - planned in all ~200 countries (per Olympics) as major online universities, and in these countries' main or official languages 

Languages, regarding wiki schools in these, - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Languages - planned in all 7,139 known living languages as wiki schools for open teaching and learning

Wiki Subjects or 'schools' - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects - both academic, and open or creative, for open teaching and learning, again planned in Swedish too; check out some of the CC-4 MIT OCW courses on the Aerospace_Engineering wiki subject, for example - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Aerospace_Engineering - which will eventually be for credit toward free degrees, - and to see how World Univ & Sch works in a sense.

Thanks, Maggie (and John)! 

And very nice to meet you. 

Regarding an #ActualVirtual, #Physical-Digital realistic virtual universe, brainstorming-wise re the payload and cargo-load words you used, here's the #Hashtag link again to a Realistic Virtual Universe - https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualUniverse?src=hashtag_click. Perhaps one good way to understand this is in terms of Lego Robotics in a realistic virtual earth for Lego - https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForLego?src=hashtag_click - where World Univ & Sch is an authorized USA carrier of the 3 Lego Robotics' kits, and potentially in a #RealisticVirtualUniverseForLego so that anyone could make PHYSICAL Lego Robotics, and even send them virtually on the Mars 2030s mission into outer space as VIRTUAL Lego robotics. See too - https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForRobotics?src=hashtag_click. And here's a great picture of the Universe with some related #Hashtags - 
https://twitter.com/WUaSPress/status/1389063166177415170?s=20 - re the potential here. For the realistic virtual universe, think Google Street View with TIME SLIDER, Maps, Earth, and TensorFlow AI - with realistic avatar bots, aka artificial humans, and with #AvatarBotElectronicMedicalRecords - https://twitter.com/hashtag/AvatarBotElectronicMedicalRecords?src=hashtag_click - and all at the cellular and atomic levels too, beyond the street view level. World Univ & Sch is seeking to facilitate all of this also as STEM field sites, and classrooms - and in online teaching hospitals (in our planned online Medical Schools in ~ 200 countries' main languages) - where anyone could wiki-add resources, such as photos or videos, or code to TensorFlow AI in a process I'm calling ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy, like ethnography (an interpretative practice, wiki which allows for quick curation, and group-buildable virtual worlds, like Second Life, but realistic, not cartoon-esque - and in the Google Cloud too)! Here are some related ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy links -  https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy - and -  http://www.scottmacleod.com/research-group.html

This Mars Perseverance Youtube video popped up on my smartphone after the Stanford Volvo meeting closed this morning - https://youtu.be/gL6rVpKniyY - with beautiful and remarkable videography of Mars. How would we (I or you) add this to a SINGLE realistic virtual universe for space exploration (think Google Street View with time slider)?

Maggie, I was able to set up MS Teams with my scottmacleod100@hotmail.com email address, although I'm using this sgkmacleod@worlduniversityandschool.org (in WUaS G-Suite for Education) for communications. Looking forward to tomorrow's meeting at 7am Pacific Time, and thank you!

All the best, Scott

How might World University and School help with academic collaborations further, since for example, there's a trove of CC-4 MIT OCW courses (in 4 languages currently) which could further complement your great work thus far.

All the best, Scott
