Hello, everybody. Welcome to the development update for Friday, March 14, 2025. I'll keep this one rather brief. Most of this week, I've been doing, use case architectural development, on the two primary use cases. As I said, the one that we're focusing on with alternative media, that being a massive new emerging market, many more viewers in alternative media than all of the actual collective mainstream media combined. So developing that tool, that's gonna be really powerful. And as I said, from the SaaS conference, I developed a lot of new contacts that will be really, really beneficial for that.

Item number two, I'm drafting some initial subjects and structures for a podcast that I'm going to be releasing. That's going to most likely be a weekly podcast discussing things that are related to Nexus, current events, everything else like that. That'll be on a separate website. Something to kinda keep content going, help kinda bring people in that may not necessarily be entirely involved in blockchain.

And then number three on the AI, I've been drafting some of the architectures for that. I've been working with, some of my partners, developing some of our priority plans, some of the initial architecture, our priorities, as I said. So that's coming along pretty well. We're getting we're getting down into, you know, out of the architectural development and into more actual hard development. And as I've stated before, that's going to ideally bring a lot of liquidity in the Nexus. If anybody's seen Hugging Face, that's, not close to what we're doing, but that's a huge new emerging platform. And, it's valued in the hundreds of millions. Or io.net is another one that is completely different, but similar. Basically, facilitating the, you know, direct computational capabilities for artificial intelligence.

If anybody actually wasn't aware, ChatGPT 5 was actually releasing, it found out to be a little bit dumber even though it had more parameters because it trained off of itself, right? It actually, some of its input training data was actually, um, some of its output data from GPT 4, which that throws an interesting wrench in the idea of artificial intelligence right now because people have primarily thought of artificial intelligence as being something that will develop itself. But now, we see that going from GPT 4 to GPT 5, it actually got stupider, because it's good at mimicking human intelligence, but they don't seem to quite have abstract reasoning or capabilities beyond that. So, by simply feeding itself, you could call it ouroboros, it, became dumber. Which is an interesting thing to ponder. And some of these things are also gonna be discussed more in-depth on the podcast. I wanna get some really good juices flowing on that.

On the hard fork, I have basically been working on the merging-tls. When I was in London, I met up with Wilder.Earth, one of the founders, Mike, and we got some of the priorities, so I've been kinda juggling that a little bit. Merging-tls is basically porting in the embed TLS library. I'm working on the X509 certificate. So a lot of that coding is actually being done offline right now, but that's gonna make us completely portable from openssl, especially after this hard fork because we're gonna be able to deprecate all the legacy code. Then I've been aggregating some of the indexing functions for index proof, index address, and also adding in basically, an index that derives the current amount of coins on Tritium so that we can use that, make sure that's consensus safe and then also brushing up the unit tests. So, I'll be, be able to do a lot more of the actual coding next week. I've been doing a lot of architecture this week. So, ideally, I would like to see that. So keep your eyes, the branches that I'm working on are typically merging, merging-tls and merging-6.0, with hyphens, obviously.

We also finally dug through all the paperwork and we got the issue resolved with the Google ID. So you should be seeing our, uh, Android mobile wallet back in the Google Play Store. And that also sets the stage for our Apple, which is very nice. So we should be able to get those out. And as I said, morning to time all of those, those will be released, fully after this hard fork. And then the hard fork code should be done relatively soon. And as I said, Kendal and Krysto have also done a lot of UI changes, so that's gonna also be included in this next release. So keep your eyes on betas. You can, message Kendal and Krysto if you wanna use any of the betas, and I will talk to you guys next week.
