The idea to do person-to-person tax reallocation is a very old idea I had in 2012. It gained little attention, and then was picked up by a Susanne Tarkowski Tempelhof, who I did not know, and who connected with me over the internet via a Dana Edwards, who had written articles on basic income. Susanne was at the moment in personal chaos as an organization she was trying to start was collapsing by people leaving it (I was unaware of that at the time), and picked up on my idea and started promoting it. I was happy to be promoted, and learnt a bit about "blockchain technology" and so on over the next few years. But that "collaboration" was flawed to begin with, simply because Resilience is not a consensus system. A "nation" is a large-scale social consensus by definition, Resilience is only between people who know and trust one another. It was a misrepresentation of what I was working on, and is still being promoted in books as "bitnations basic income system".
I liked the idea of a "digital nation" because I grew up in the 1990s and 00s with the internet already in existence, but Resilience is not in any way a "nation". To be clear, Resilience can, per definition, not be a consensus system. I used some metaphors like "dividend pathways" to communicate the ideas more to an audience who focus on "consensus" but those were metaphors, it is not a consensus system.
I was happy to be promoted, but it was a false narrative that was promoting it, and that can be Faustian. The person who was promoting me turned out to have been in Wikileaks for war crimes, https://wikileaks.org/gifiles/docs/46/46246_fwd-custom-intelligence-services-field-collection-resources.html. The person also in some ways cut me off from people close to me in a cult-like manner, and ended up raising millions of dollars promoting a "system" that could not possibly work, the "XPAT" that is since two years in the public domain and publicly recorded as a scam.
Resilience that I invented in 2012 is built on trust between people who trust one another. Not fascism. I learnt things like public-private key cryptography via "bitnation" but Resilience does not even need that as far as I know, authentication can be done just with a simple one-time pad, or face-to-face although a digital key (symmetric key) automates things. I also came up with a global "proof-of-person" system, it is possible it has some value and it is actually based on large scale consensus, http://pseudonympairs.tech.
