Surprise AMA 8/31/2025

Opens back from Monroe, reporting the Glacier Drop at 89,575 claims and 1.764 billion Night, 7.35 percent of supply, right on the models.

Gives the claim breakdown: 57.8 percent Cardano, 22.4 percent Bitcoin, 9.15 percent Ethereum, and 6.1 percent XRP, with a redemption surge expected on the tail.

IO commissioned a forensic audit of the ADA voucher program, with a website releasing the AVVM software, the original CF audit reports, and the 108,000 Bitcoin reconciliation addresses.

Reports major progress on Ouroboros Leios, with a CIP now open for review after seven months of prototyping.

Summarizes the Leios CIP: 30 to 65x throughput, latency rising from 20 to 40 or 60 seconds, modest four core hardware, and 1 to 1.5 years to market.

Leios is the heart of a long arc scaling agenda toward a one minus delta protocol that is network constrained, not consensus constrained.

Implementation uses a follow the sun 24/7 model with AI enhanced coding and handoffs, a first in Cardano's history.

Leios drops in alongside Praos as the operating mode, failing back to Praos, forcing a test suite across the Amaru, Rust, Haskell, and Go nodes.

The network stack needs a universal pub sub, event brokering, and data availability system as they build up the stack.

The Monroe Institute and Project Stargate, the CIA remote viewing program from 1972 to 1995 born from a Soviet psychic program.

Cites the Stargate remote viewing win of spotting the Typhoon submarine inside a building 5000 feet from the sea, and studying under Joe McMoneagle.

The remote viewing method: clear your mind, get a target, and draw impressions from gestalt shapes to sensory then spatial detail.

Shows his remote viewing drawing of a timekeeping structure with arches, green glass, and gears matching a blind target envelope.

Lays out the metaphysics remote viewing requires: a panpsychic conscious universe, a holographic information field, real block time, and the brain as a quantum computer.

Plans to scan remote viewers' brains with an fMRI and Brian Johnson's Kernel helmet to study the patterns behind successes.

Associative remote viewing for market prediction, citing the 1982 silver futures project that made 120,000 and a 13 year study by a Polish operator.

Rebuts the CF, saying Midnight had to spend 23 million on custodians like Copper that the Foundation should have paid for.

Stresses that supporting Midnight means supporting Cardano, since Midnight lives on Cardano, so its integrations are Cardano's integrations.

The 108,000 Bitcoin made him a made man, and IO money builds products and integrations that live on Cardano, not a Charles piggy bank.

Recounts again the Swiss administrator forcing the board choice, arguing the CF's personal liability structure handcuffs it from taking risks.

Accountability means falsifiable outcomes like shipping Leios or launching Midnight, unlike the subjective goal of promoting the brand.

Marcus's ADA redemption tweet was retaliation for being yelled at when the CF tried to derail the constitutional convention with its own constitution.

The Leios CIP was delayed because the person writing it was hired by the CF to build a competing client, so a captured organization derails progress.

Building products like the Glacier Drop, Midnight, and Lace gives IO the same lived developer experience as builders, aligning them with the community.

IO is firing on all cylinders with Leios, Hydra, Plutus V4, StarStream, Midgard, partner chains, and a 19 person Bitcoin DeFi team under Omar.

Chainlink is a hard negotiation because non EVM integration needs nine contracts, but Sergey is a smart businessman who knows his worth.

IO let go over 100 people in 2022 when its commercial team failed, some of whom founded Apex Fusion, and now needs an oracle for Midnight Cardano.

Abu Dhabi offered to change its law for the CF to become an ADGM DLT foundation with incentives, but the CF stays in Switzerland with personal liability.

He hopes Coinbase gives its users the Midnight drop, as even Scaramucci asked where his Night is.

Lace 2.0 is a unified node architecture building to full node, mobile, and browser, with a Mithril node syncing in under an hour, targeting November.

Cardano has zero representation in Silicon Valley and the Ethereum world, which is why people like Balaji think it is a dead chain.

Rebuts the lie that everyone hates him, asking how Midnight made all its deals if that were true.

Clarifies Midnight has no CEO and is an open audited protocol, and Iran Barak, who built IDF satellites and ran Symphony, only runs the Shielded side.

Defends working with Israelis, noting Avi Loeb and their deep integration into cryptography, aerospace, and biotech.

Recommends Bob Harmon as the best vet stem cell expert, who did stem cells for Sheikh Mohammed's horses and got FDA approval for a PRP process.

Brian Johnson's Kernel Flow fNIRS headset that shoots light into the brain to measure cognition, part of the biohacker world with Dave Asprey and Tim Ferriss.

Bioelectricity: every cell has a voltage fingerprint tied to ion channels, and changing it can turn a cancer cell normal, with DARPA's BETR program studying it.

The crypto porn overlap from Operation Chokepoint debanking, and how zero knowledge proofs enable age verification without revealing identity.

DARPA predicts and promotes technological surprise since Sputnik, works with private industry, and turned the CALO program into Siri.

DARPA's Project PROCEED on homomorphic encryption led to Galois, which writes software in the Cardano ecosystem.

Reframes the Swiss coercion argument, saying being told to pick your replacements or face receivership is not free will.

Repeats the Digital Asset Foundation Isle of Man origin, saying he never intended Switzerland and better structures exist like the Abu Dhabi DLT foundation and Wyoming Duna.

Dispels a rumor that Cardano refuses to work with Constellation, saying he has a good relationship with its founders who work with the DoD.

Gives a web3 dev path: build the Haskell node from source, run a stake pool and DRep, and deploy an Aiken project on the testnet, recommending the book Mastering Cardano.

Rebuts a quantum resistance troll, citing NIST FIPS 203 to 206, the Halo 3 lattice folding scheme, and the Princeton one shot signatures paper.

Lays out the postquantum roadmap: checkpointing, then quantum signatures with Mithril, folding for StarStream, ledger signatures, then consensus, about 5 to 10 years.

Uses the armor in the desert analogy: postquantum signatures are 10x larger, so you prepare for the quantum horde without wearing heavy armor now.

Rebuts an Ethiopia question by pointing to the 2023 blog post explaining the war zone work that yielded Atala Prism and led to the RealFi team in Kenya.

His contact list includes many senators, CEOs, and David Rothschild, who invited him to his workshop and built the Plastiki plastic boat.

Proposes a Nike feeding machine like the Hydra vending machine, calling on Adam Dean to build feed the pig with Nike Coin.

He is extensively vaccinated from a medical family but regrets the COVID vaccine, still feeling injection site pain, part of why he started the clinic.

Praises RFK Jr as a high integrity man fighting to remove high fructose corn syrup and food dyes, lamenting Trump derangement making the left defend processed food.

Draws his red line: critics can call him anything, but accusing him of a crime, unlike Laura Shin's book, is why the audit report is coming.

He has met Eric, Ivanka, and Don Trump and found them high integrity, and hate for Trump comes from 24/7 negative media coverage.

Says Trumpcoin created problems for passing crypto legislation, a timing mistake, and notes the appeals court quietly overturned Trump's fraud judgment.

Criticizes the left for accepting Kamala Harris with no primary, urging protest votes instead of legitimizing an undemocratic process.

The new French revolution is blockchain, taking back money, payments, custody, identity, and political systems from the middlemen.

Advises builders to find their ecosystem interfaces, Rafa at the CF, JJ at IO, Phil at Emurgo, and start small like a Twitter space, not a marriage proposal.

His 250 kilowatt solar farm with 400 kilowatt hours of LG battery banks and a propane generator backup, advocating mandatory solar shingles.

Demonstrates using Grok to fact check a false claim that solar panels damage roofs 50 percent of the time, showing the real failure rate is about 0.05 percent.

Talk radio programs people with untrue claims, and his own 250 kilowatt field lost only two panels to hail in three years.

The most important entrepreneurial negotiation is the founders agreement, which forces hard conversations before he takes a startup seriously.

The Trump Musk triumvirate failed because they had no founders agreement defining the rules of their relationship.

Critiques Neuralink: wires in the brain get walled off by glial cells and corrode in a caustic environment, and neurons run on ions not electrons.

Praises Synchron, which reads brain signals via a stent through an artery, avoiding drilling and already implanted in more people than Neuralink.

A good venture investor talks to the experts then decides the bet, as he did choosing adipose over blood stem cells and filing a patent.

The real regeneration question is whether stem cell fate is chemical, DNA, or electrical, which Michael Levin studies.

DARPA's BETR bioelectronics program that closes the loop with actuators and sensors to guide tissue regeneration after blast injuries.

Michael Levin's xenobots, biological robots grown from frog and human cells that could program the body better than electrical implants.

Argues humans co evolve with a microbiome of foreign cells, so engineered organisms could clear arterial plaque or calm cancer cells that live in a network.

Warns about mirror life, chiral synthetic organisms human immune systems cannot recognize, which are being worked on in a lab right now.

His clinic pursues foundational stem cell science, an electrome and exosome program, and dissolving lung scar tissue first, before spinal cord repair.

Shows the Vielight photobiomodulation headset for traumatic brain injury, which shoots light to activate neuron mitochondria, studied with Harvard and the VA.

The 12 hallmarks of aging on his company's website, from mitochondrial dysfunction to stem cell exhaustion, arguing aging is not one thing.

The story of Pontichelli, who lied about his age to fight with the Arditi knife fighters through mustard gas in World War I and lived to 110.

The body can live long through chemical, electrical, psychological, and genetic factors, so the goal is extending health span alongside lifespan.

Closes the AMA covering everything from World War I trench fighting to the audit and Bitcoin DeFi, with 21,000 people listening.
