Rigel-ABC Decentralization of renewable energy production, its Storage and Grid exchange are very important steps for Humanity progress. The same importance or even more importance have the Food, the Food production decentralization & why not exchange. It may sound strange to clone vegetables and fish in our home or factory in city without to use pesticides, a tractor or a cultivator. It is not only about decentralization, but economy of production, in facts, the largest tomato maker in Europe do not use anymore land. This may be the ABC for us, not only to be ready to any crisis, war, or economy collapse (absence of logistics), but also to fight cancer.     Rigel is a three star system. This Star System name is choosen for this project with 3 components: A - An  Aeroponics System element (tree shape) B - An Hydroponic System for more eavy or special vegetables C - An Aquaponics (fish growing) Connected System to the Hydroponic System A, B, C combined in 1 thing! Solar Powered, fully automated and modular, scalable from 1 pce, to few one to factory needs. Simple repating and connecting elemes with easy to find parts on the market and easy assembly.   Example of use of Stand alone system or use of systems in combination. The focus will be on the low cost, easy to reach parts, easy to assembly & compact transportation of the full DIY kits.

  Mira Spiralcity is a project to provide Free Specifications design reference to build a Smart City. Download the Hi-Res Illustration here -->  | as .tiff image - 5.7MB | as PDF document - 4.2MB |   Sagittarius is intended as a whole ptroject but still not a full Smart City project, it carry several sub project helpful to create smart-cities (additionals and not considered in development, so we are called to do...) with low costs There is no reason to rewrite how a gateway or a DNS/SDNS server works, but this will be released as specification & sources for the ODROID-H2 or other unexpensive PicoITX x86 Single board Computers as selected from us as a demo Gateway For contrast our focus with Mira Spiralcity is with a canvas of a Smart City, our research in distributed automation, (PiAutos), as well as Real Time OS as Alcor6L (a powercharged NuttX + Interpreters), Gneral Node (a fork or an hibrid between NodeRed and Genera Symbolics concepts) with HW Demo like Mizar32, designed from us to aoutomate all what come after the wireless mesh (Olsr), or WANs (or any uplink to Internet) the SDNS as sub-net access and full automation control or deployment interfaces. So aim to work in areas where the speciofications are uncomplete, unkon or misused, where is required more (missing) attention and refining. Being this of Smart cities and IoT in general a whole not understandable mess of stupid nodes, often depending on concentrators (fragile not reduntant systems) full of new things every days not standard with each other. Add clarification, documentation and little development to it. We try to give working examples also of new things, never done before of the MP-CVU (M)ira(P)rivacy(C)omputer(V)ision(U)nit A Privacy eye, over the peoples. Even if this seem a contrast, it could be done! An eye that respect the citizen privacy. With several embedded functions traslated in narrow band messages, not to record video over the surveiled peoples. Firmware-Computer Vision with Nodes at a target price of 10$. That respect the Freedom and the Privacy of the citizens. Not only super-low-cost, but used in fault tollerancy (in pair A+B) Differnt Use of SDNS even to little things as a node. Authority on top of SDNS and their data fields are used not only for naming of the involved nodes, mapped or with IPs on their tiny network interfaces, to give a hierarchical meaning to resources, locate them as when fedex have to deliver a parcel (if in the intention to be so in a city) so URI starting with city name, the zip code, then street, then street number, then if not enough locate them add GeoSpatial Data to databeses, SDNS databases and till all does not fit in a node, use gateways (as huge and powerful full *BSD) to map IPs there, till it will fit in future generation nodes direct. Where what it is standard and common is re-used in new context or used in new ways.   http://mqtt.org/   Imagine if you can push the button of your desk-lamp or adjust the volume of your web-radio to close a so distant resource like the valve in the the niagara falls   as well as switch in a scheme or soft machine to turn on your toilet light bulb.   Not only general and specialized hardware nodes will be released, but also some things very helpful for the city, that still does not exist on the market, or noone will care of designing them like  MISO-PU - IP67 (Mi)ra (So)lar (P)ower (U)nit  those units, are simple LTO (Lithium Titanate - stable green and cheap lithium that remain in service for 50 years) Solar Power banks - industrial one, for the city, made with standard ultracheap part Like a Flat empty Street Light projector, that contain Cells under the glass and battery bellow and use the tube to let out the connections. More cheap than this we Die!!! Simple robust low cost electronics for charge and balancing - Well designed.   Not so much innovative or complex to build but absent, made with the more cheap and common industrial parts to assemble them with with prices that even more can cut the budget of the city-automation So that in the night as in the day, a node could operate And not all can be put in proximity or inside Street Lights Or Street Lighting. So over a Wall, Under a tree, everywhere you can have not only a gateway, or a mesh node but also serve the autoimation, or serve other, that without power (night and day) you can not do. So if we do not create this free spec, show how to do it unexpensively what we wait that those are unveild as jewel and sold so expensively that half world or emerging world could not use automation in cities or even villages?   Other hardware to be released are the set of devices to assemble  A public MP-GAS - (M)ira (P)ublic (G)arden (A)utomation (S)ystem All this solution as the applications code defined endpoint of automation or the same CV, will be Totally Free Software. and Free Specs Hardware   This technology is set to be demnstrated in the next 4 years   so other sub projects of Mira. Like TSX-MAIS - Telegram / SMS / XMPP Mira Area Information System. This is a simple chatbot that talk natural language that is an assistant for all the informations pertaining citizens and the city. With some control feedback to what is usable from the citizen in the automation. Not only engineers and ciy service surbveillant can use the automation of a city, then city may have its automations to the public, and we think the TSX-MAIS can become a nice and not-harmful interface to citizen. We should avoid cloud centric AI for this, we prefer simple NLP give what can give an embedded board with not so higher resources, in simplicity. In simplicity answer simple question like how much time for the arrive of a bus or the full path it does as well as other informations, for example open pharmacy, or the nearest museum and things like this. This is today very simple technology to integrate in Mira Specifications. And we would like to embed this and amke it diffused in every medium Other innovative things are an electronic nose,  C&O-MAPS (C)omposite (&) (O)rganic (M)ira (A)ir (P)ollution (S)ensors   This will care to report the level of pollution to citizens as well to the interested party that design the traffic flow, this data can be combined with the Computer vision system that contribute to the traffic analisys in order to create better routes and decrease the air-pollution in an area to distribute the flow of the traffic in more uniform and less polluting ways, not only but also reduce electricity consumption in the night, detect presence or incoming of peoples and vehicle to create a wave effects in the public lighting. Do more light where useful while gain of the maximum or the legal minimum possible when noone is there or when incoming.   The target Respect The Citizens, give totally Free Solution and specifications respectful of costs for the developing country. Respect of the standards, find new solution or use the old in new way to standardize if adopted and well performing. Simplicity, robustness, fault-tollerancy, reliability, security and easy of management.   Offer not only the usual services, Lighting control and or public-wifi, but a contour of automation easily extensible to be ready to become many trhings in the city and other context. Then if will be good for the city, and simple we hope this solution will be used for isolated systems, as the homes.   This is some of the technology that we are massacrating :) fused, mixed, forked, integrated or well harmonized that will be involved in this research project   Mira Spiralcity will involve the following Software: | GNU | *BSD | Olsr | Mosh | PiAuto | OpenMV | MQTT | | Apache NuttX | NodeRed (fork) | Genera (concepts)| Alcor6L | -- PiAuto, Decentralized Distributed Automation -- (New !!)

       The SunGPL is not just another cryptocoin. -- SunGPL unit, will be equal to the absorbed energy of a typical flower that convert sun radiation to life during a day -- [10]     So what's this crypto coin? Is a research activity in the years that will come to investigate the sociological impact of a crypto coin and a software/hardware license (SunGPL)     SunGPL is a name that identify both, when we refer to license we append "License", when we refer to the currency we append "coin"  
1) Bringing peace to the world of software involves providing a solution to the current conflicts. One way to achieve this is by facilitating a smooth transition for current proprietary software to become Free Software, ensuring effectiveness in solving existing problems. stated in the Bill Gates letter to hobbist in each of its points that remains unanswered from 1976. Therefore, a new Software Hardware License, the SGPL, will provide revenue for programmers and ensure a return on investment for entrepreneurs and designers who consider it their primary work activity. This license aims to incorporate volunteer contributions to software/hardware projects/products while maintaining anonymity in code submission, ensuring payment for anonymous contributors, and allowing for non-payment of volunteers, whether anonymous or not. Additionally, the SGPL will support software projects by facilitating collaboration between paid programmers and volunteers through a decentralized system of auto-generated payments based on Grid usage. It is worth noting that this approach is currently feasible, as demonstrated by the GridCoin project, and we anticipate further advancements in this area with additional features and extensive testing over the years to ensure its success. The assignment of payments will be managed as a duty, responsibility, and obligation of the project owner.   Ensure the Freedom of Software Users: Protect software users from abuse and malicious software, ensuring their rights are safeguarded. Provide workers and companies with what is rightfully theirs upon request. Support and foster corporations that develop Free Specifications Hardware (Hardware SGPL Projects such as game consoles, PCs, mobile devices, etc.) by offering hardware replacements to clients or designing new hardware that is cost-effective, powerful, and energy-efficient. Users should be able to pay only their power bills (leaving devices connected to a grid 24/7) or partially with their power bills. Implement a system for distributing payments for hardware similar to software. Allocate 50% of revenue generated from Grid contributions directly to users in an indirect form, spendable after five years of grid work on new hardware within the SGPL domain. Allocate 40% (10% for Free Hardware Designers and 30% for Free Software Programmers) to contributors of ongoing hardware/software projects connected to the Grid, with payments submitted weekly based on usage or a more advanced scheme. Include hardware contributions in the BIOS (Free BIOS) and list hardware contributions in applications to be paid for with Gridwork. Ensure the OS component responsible for software payments is secure and not susceptible to manipulation, requiring ongoing research to refine. Allocate the remaining 10% for fundraising projects (after a year of Grid work) for both software and hardware. Implement a democratic and delegative voting system to highlight the best projects and remove those deemed inappropriate, such as non-educational or violent games, with decisions made by Nwiw citizens responsible for advancing the SGPL ecosystem. Maintain a balance between art, science, and religion within Nwiw, with a mixed delegation overseeing these aspects. Focus on progress and foundational design for the SGPL ecosystem, prioritizing ethical considerations over commercial interests.   With the introduction and diffusion of the currency, as well as from the outset, develop more advanced wallets. Incorporate all the beneficial features of GNU Taler while introducing new ones. Enable users to lend the currency to the market as a short-term investment, ranging from hours to a day, to prevent any inactive wallets. Offer eight levels of services, from Level 0 to Level 7, each with corresponding transaction fees applied on both sides to ensure shared responsibility. For example, at Level 0, a 1% fee is applied, while at Level 2, a 1.5% fee is charged for tracking the consignment of a parcel. Level 3, which covers insurance for lost deliveries, incurs a 3% fee. Higher levels offer additional options such as guarantees or replacements for damaged goods, with transaction fees increasing accordingly. At the highest level, transaction fees can reach up to 7% for full risk coverage. Users can opt for a reduced fee of 1.5% by accepting the possibility of fines in their wallets based on their behavior. The penalty percentage can vary, with higher penalties for severe anti-social conduct. In a closed system like Nwiw, a unique verdict from Nwiw citizens and a new form of jurisdiction over SGPL wallets will be established. Users can submit opposition requests up to three times, and funds may be temporarily frozen for further investigation, with judges paid based on the disputed amount. Merchants facing an 8% cost for full-risk sales to users can opt for a lower fee by demonstrating good conduct. This system encourages honesty and responsible behavior, with contracts being irrevocable within the SGPL system. This approach benefits users with discounts and provides merchants with competitive operational fees. It is essential to prioritize reversibility and effective management within the system, with only Nwiw citizens having the authority to make decisions. This decentralized approach ensures accountability and fairness, with mechanisms in place to address any abuses of power or competence. We aim to develop a system that promotes progress, democracy, and healthy human relations without resembling a jail or a surveillance mechanism. Our goal is to foster a fair and democratic environment, ensuring accountability through judgments and fines to maintain order and civility in society. This process will require careful consideration over the years to select the most beneficial and least damaging options for users, sellers, the community, society, and the elected maintainers of Nwiw. Special fees may be applied in unique cases, such as the transfer of SGPL between holding or international corporations, with rates determined on a case-by-case basis to ensure fair market practices and security. For significant transactions, customized fees will be established to prevent exorbitant charges that could hinder operations. Imagine a scenario where a holding company needs to make a substantial payment to a platform like PayPal; custom fees will prevent unreasonable costs. Grants may be provided, and options for reduced fees or exemptions can be offered to encourage ethical conduct within the holding company. To facilitate secure transactions, we will create simple and affordable hardware wallets (e.g., priced at $1) for payments of goods and services, with the capability to automate VAT payments directly to governments, bypassing intermediaries and ensuring transparency in financial transactions. Additionally, we propose fighting poverty by introducing a minimum survival salary for individuals using SGPL, funded through transaction fees. While the implementation may initially be inconsistent, widespread adoption will lead to a more stable and impactful system, potentially benefiting a significant portion of the global population.   It is estimated that a 7% transaction fee is required to provide a decent salary for all world citizens, but this figure varies based on the average salary in each country. Therefore, a fixed 2% fee is set as a baseline for now, aiming to offer a decent salary to at least half of the world's population if the cryptocurrency becomes widely adopted in the future. While this may only serve as a small bonus for many, it is a significant step towards a positive goal. Establish a sub-agent to assist in re-balancing issues arising from wars, crises, national debts leading to cuts in social welfare and related expenses. By pre-mining or allocating a collective treasury (in the possession of the Nwiw city), a potential solution can be created to counter the current situation of high individual debts and recurring state crises. Form a Distributed Authority Network centralized within the decentralized and virtual city of Nwiw to strengthen justice. This network will apply variable percentages of penalties and incentives to the wallets of individuals or legal entities. Establish a global computational infrastructure for Virtual Reality and Cyberspace, creating virtual worlds with Global Illumination where people can meet and collaborate. Utilize CPU grids for scientific computations, leveraging unused CPU/GPU/AI cycles from the SGPL Software/Hardware/Games grid. This grid can efficiently utilize mobile devices during charging times or game consoles during idle periods, optimizing resources for scientific and virtual reality applications. Contribute to addressing environmental challenges, such as climate change and the greenhouse effect, by overcoming communication barriers and promoting global citizen integration through Virtual Reality resources. Implement a proper resource allocation system to efficiently distribute resources for these initiatives.   Test Platforms   This project also integrate with Nwiw.org the virtual city project , a city for ATAI (Assistant Tanatological AI) and humans, city rendered on the SGPL grid, ATAI working in the SGPL portable devices equipped with AI chips.   What is not Sun Coin and the SGPL   Is not a container or a mirage of change to lock and control its users. The proposals are functional and not hidden, shown in this 10 points like the fingers of two open hands.   Early Feasibility study   Analysis of Proof of Stake Systems   Analysis of projects like GridCoin   Liquid Feedback - Decision Making SW   Notes:   [1] The GridCoin - https://gridcoin.us/ * Nothing is fixed until we go to development stage.   [2] in case of partially or total re-use of code licensed with the Sun Coin and the SGPL, the obligation to give to the authors the right payments, allowing at least a workable margin for new branding, forks, modifications of code or new direction of one software project. Give instruments to assign resources with Liquid Feedback system when there is not a Company that govern this project.   [3] Mobile devices should be used from grid during the socket charging or night time (not operative time)   [4] In case Hardware have many designers (for each component or more than one for a component) let assign payment with micro capillarity, including contribution or improvements to VHDL code both from external or internal sources in case of promisquity, and collaborative designs.   [5] Modified Version of Free BIOS like Libreboot or coreboot can store a list of the hardware components set for a machine (at least its Free Hardware Components), with capillarity of informations on the parts, of who (in paid form) contributed the development of the Free Hardware parts, with his coin address and the percentage of contribution assigned in order to calculate payments to forward for each component and for the machine globally. On Operating System side or applications side, let deliver applications or software components (released with the Sun Coin and the SGPL) with a list of percentages of paid contributions (as specified for the hardware). Let a daemon on the system forward the payments on a daily or weekly basis during not use time, not operative time or more convenient time.  The remaining 50% of the grid-work revenue is collected each day for the user running the Hardware/Software system and collected in locked status in a sub-wallet until the amount get mature in 2-3-4 years (the time frame for hardware obsolescence) for the purchase of new hardware.   No payments in generally spendable way are done to the users. Firstly one user may prefer the Sun Coin and the SGPL Hardware/Software for its Social means and importance to create a global distribuited super-computer obtained with the unused CPU/GPU cycles. For second instance to assure to him a new generation of Hardware after the times mature or the old hardware become obsolete. Who obtain energy from the Sun for example have no cost, or marginal costs in electricity. The Sun Coin and the SGPL embeds a new way of thinking a PC or a Personal Mobile device, as a Personal-Public resource, public when not used. PGC (personal-grid-computer). Corporations that obtain energy from the sun or the wind or other low cost way, may think to Sun Coin and the SGPL revenue as an economic way to have replaced their huge installed machines park with no cost or marginal costs.   -- EDIT: The SGPL Revenue for both Software/Hardware developers and Users (paid in new hardware), are paid in electricity cost from end-users. New breaktrough from ARM and NVIDIA have have shown i7 performance class CPU with medium/high class GPU that have the power consumption similar to LED bulbs (10W). So our initial evaulation of costs to run The Sun Coin and the SGPL SW or HW in Grid 24/7 or in charge time/off time is totally to be reviewed. Thank you NVIDIA. --   For all the rest of the users with no access to cheap renewable energy, is a way to ensure a saving chained to constant work of a PGC to be spent on something really of maximum importance that help their personal development, their communication power, their freedom and their life.   So users may have a general wallet with a locked saving sub-wallet connected to one or more PGC for hardware purchase.   [6] The right seeds to start will be provided, in a trusted, secure and special man's network that select and abilitate each other without number limits, upon saturation. This point may be hard to be accepted, and we are open to contribution, shows the real (and complex) reason of that. Main SunCoin supporters and contributors should have it clear whats up their head as under their foots. We can say only really "special" persons (the best we know in all sense) will be seeded to start the network. The most good one like the Sun will be searched, as well as that one that keep evil as small vocabulary and control it, to recognize, not to perpetrate it (even if they can), to move inside it at open eyes, with an eufemism can say Angels with Tails. They are very rarest and special. As the carbon in the iron to make the steel to develop a Katana of a samurai. With a will to help the others, never attack, never control but help. They will be searched and this process will never stopped. Till noone remain, to the bottom or till someone win the evil inside him as it is happened, and happen not only one time. Look at the Love in a man and you will never wrong. Be wise in selection, select among the best you know, and do not watch at talent first, but at virtues, not simulated or artificial one, the one that come from the heart. Many evil (unsecure) thinking man, occupy (for compensation or for control among the good one wich represent a risk) the most not harmful and social good willing activiities. See or search the wolf under the sheep coat. Have long frequentations to decide. Be suspicious to who side you after you was called as citizen even if noone knows it - noone. Expect help, unpredictable ones to drive someone to you when you are stalled, be suspicious with stupid one or artificial or giving you what you are searching easily, evil is stupid (and do not see the future), follow the real and not artificial sincronicity to fool up your path in an unpredictable way. We do not need one man to select many, we need many drops and the nearest to make the ocean as well as a lake, if only this water remain on the earth.   [7] Migrate in a - zero balance - those penalty as an incentivation to persons, groups or legal entities that promote society progress. Penalty will be applied to those that work against society progress or simply hurt other peoples in a legal or not legal way. It is in evaluation if this entity or a sub entity of this can act in controversy as peacemaker of disputed payments (as paypal do) earning a percentage of the disputed transaction if this consume time of the preposed operator. The same earnings in smaller percentages to remove and assign penalites/incentivations to strengt justice and helping or incentivate a re-equilibration process. To create a self sustaining system that affects and grants SunCoin users.   [8] due to development areas, we can not request high bandwidth to run the pre-calculated Virtual worlds, so we urge to set most of the job done on the grid and with downloadable (or physical media shareable) elements (dynamic global illumination worlds, meeting places, avatars, moving objects, avatars voice models, objects specifications, AI models), pushing at maximum clients for real time job (clients with low bandwith usage, that only need to transfer vectors, voice and little more). Give access to powerful computational resources on the grid to citizens that need to render with global illumination collaborative meeting places or virtual cities.   [9] Use a liquid feedback votation system to assign the resources for both Scientific computation Grid (prefer CPU time) and Virtual Worlds grid (assign GPU time).   [10] In History Currencies was created to Store a Value, Value represented in Gold, or more recently in history fossil fuel. After the economy becomed crazy this bond was cutted and peoples was hardly pressed in a strange game of false debt never synced between banks and corporations resulting in an economy (peoples) massacre.   It is not feasible today to store renewable energy or permit the exchange of this energy as a currency or things like coins, but battery research is very promising, we can hope that in future we can exchange energy,   sun, wind, sea waves or geotermal energy. Real energy instead of currency. Of course all this energy come from the Sun, no other sources. So this bond to a flower daily captured energy is not very functional now, mostly an example. But it can be functional in future after the research in naotechnology will led to a way to store renewable energy in matter in a way it will be archived persistently, ready to be exchanged or used in the grid. Maybe we should think more on this latest note.                       Last update (after 10 years) in this column : 13 / july / 2024 --

Introduction

In the ever-evolving landscape of software and hardware development, the SunGPL project emerges as a pioneering initiative designed to redefine the paradigms of free and open-source ecosystems into an extended Free Software and Libre Hardware realm. SunGPL integrates the tenets of the General Public License (GPLv3) with the innovative functionalities of a cryptocurrency, forging a dual-purpose framework that aims to revolutionize both technological and economic dimensions of software and hardware distribution.

At its core, SunGPL addresses the perennial challenges faced by the Free Software movement: sustainability, equitable compensation, and fostering an environment conducive to continuous innovation. By amalgamating a robust governance model, a novel economic structure, and the principles of distributed computing, SunGPL endeavors to create a self-sustaining ecosystem that incentivizes contributions while ensuring transparency and fairness.

This introduction delineates the fundamental aspects of SunGPL, providing a comprehensive overview of its objectives, mechanisms, and the multifaceted benefits it seeks to deliver. Through this exploration, we aim to elucidate the transformative potential of SunGPL in bridging the gap between altruistic software development and economic viability, setting the stage for a detailed examination of its components and implications in the subsequent sections of this paper.   Background and Motivation

The SunGPL project is born from the imperative need to address longstanding challenges within the realms of software and hardware development. Historically, the Free Software movement, galvanized by the General Public License (GPL), has championed the principles of freedom, transparency, and community-driven innovation. However, as the landscape of technology continues to evolve, so too must the frameworks that support and sustain these ideals. The World of Software

In the software domain, GPL has successfully fostered an environment where code is accessible, modifiable, and distributable, int othe four Fredooms that are granted, ensuring that technological advancements are shared and improved upon collectively. Despite its successes, the GPL framework faces significant challenges in terms of financial sustainability. Many contributors, driven by passion and the ethos of free software, often find themselves without adequate financial support, hindering the long-term viability of their projects. Expanding to Free/Libre Hardware

The principles of GPL, while predominantly applied to software, hold profound potential for the world of hardware. Free/Libre hardware, which embodies the same ideals of freedom and collaboration, remains an aspirational goal yet to be fully realized. The development and distribution of hardware involve substantial material costs and logistical complexities, making the need for a sustainable and consistent funding model even more critical. SunGPL aims to bridge this gap, extending the ethos of GPL to hardware by creating an ecosystem where both software and hardware innovations can thrive sustainably.
Motivation for SunGPL SunGPL is motivated by the vision of a global, equitable technological landscape where innovations in software and hardware are accessible to all. To achieve this, SunGPL integrates a novel economic model with its licensing framework, ensuring that contributors receive fair compensation. By leveraging a cryptocurrency mechanism, SunGPL generates value through the participation of its users, transforming idle computational resources into productive assets within a distributed computing network and Public Cloud called Sophia. Sustainable and Consistent Funding Model A key motivation behind SunGPL is to establish a funding model that aligns with the principles of free software while ensuring financial sustainability. The SunGPL cryptocurrency is generated when hardware adhering to the SunGPL license connects to the Sophia network. This model not only incentivizes the use of energy-efficient and robust hardware but also ensures that revenue is distributed equitably among software developers and hardware designers based on usage statistics and contribution metrics. This decentralized approach mitigates the reliance on traditional funding sources, fostering a self-sustaining ecosystem. Global Adoption and Impact

SunGPL aspires to global adoption, expanding the reach of GPL principles to encompass both software and hardware on an international scale. By embedding financial incentives within the licensing model, SunGPL ensures that the creation and maintenance of free/libre projects are not only feasible but also rewarding. The introduction of a universal basic income (UBI) funded through transaction fees within the SunGPL ecosystem further underscores the project's commitment to addressing economic disparities and promoting a more inclusive technological future.

The SunGPL project is a response to the evolving needs of the free software and hardware communities. It seeks to create a sustainable, inclusive, and financially viable ecosystem that supports and amplifies the core principles of the GPL, paving the way for widespread adoption and innovation.

The Dual Nature of SunGPL: License and Cryptocurrency

SunGPL represents a groundbreaking fusion of licensing and cryptocurrency, designed to revolutionize the way software and hardware innovations are created, distributed, and monetized. This dual nature ensures that the principles of FLOSS development are not only preserved but also enhanced with sustainable economic incentives.

License: Expanding GPL Principles

At its core, SunGPL extends the established principles of the General Public License (GPL) to both software and hardware domains. This extension is crucial in ensuring that the principles of freedom, transparency, and collaborative improvement are preserved while adapting to the changing technological environment. The SunGPL license requires that any software or hardware developed under its terms remains freely available for modification, redistribution, and enhancement by the community, with consolidated rules for incorporating patches, new code, or commits from project maintainers. This fosters a fertile environment for ongoing innovation and equal access to technological progress. Cryptocurrency: Beyond Bitcoin

In parallel, the SunGPL cryptocurrency is engineered to surpass current standards set by Bitcoin and other new cryptocurrencies. Unlike Bitcoin and similarly mined coin, which is often criticized for its high energy consumption and limited utility, SunGPL leverages computational resources for meaningful tasks within its distributed energy production and computing network, a new Public Cloud concept, called Sophia. This not only optimizes energy use but also transforms idle computational power into valuable contributions to the network.
SunGPL aims to become a de facto standard in the cryptocurrency world, surpassing traditional payment systems such as credit cards or PayPal or other systems, in both simplicity and social impact. Designed for broad adoption, it facilitates both B2C (Business to Consumer) and B2B (Business to Business) transactions, offering a seamless, efficient, and secure alternative to conventional payment methods. Environmental Impact and Renewable Energy Integration The SunGPL ecosystem is built with a strong commitment to environmental sustainability. By integrating renewable energy sources and promoting efficient resource usage, SunGPL aims to minimize its ecological footprint while providing robust computational and storage capabilities through its decentralized network Sophia. Decentralized Energy and Computation Network Sophia, the backbone of SunGPL's distributed computing infrastructure, is designed to be entirely decentralized. This ensures that both large-scale and small-scale participants can contribute to the network. Investors in extensive energy and computation sites are crucial, but the system equally values smaller contributors. Much like today’s mining farms, which range from vast operations with millions of GPUs to smaller setups with just a few hundred, Sophia allows for a diverse array of nodes to flourish. Large-Scale Renewable Energy Sites Large-scale renewable energy sites, funded by significant investments, play a vital role in the Sophia network. These sites, equipped with solar panels, wind turbines, and other renewable technologies, serve as major hubs of both energy production and computational power. They are designed to operate efficiently, contributing substantial resources to the network while maintaining a minimal environmental footprint.

SunGPL aims to integrate seamlessly with traditional financial systems, providing a secure and efficient alternative to conventional payment methods. The cryptocurrency facilitates B2C (Business to Consumer) and B2B (Business to Business) transactions, ensuring simplicity and efficiency in financial exchanges. This broad acceptance encourages widespread adoption and use of SunGPL in various economic activities.

Universal Basic Income (UBI) SunGPL transaction fees are tiered, starting at a base commission of 3% (1.5% for the seller and 1.5% for the buyer), with base services including logistics and delivery proofs. Additional tiers go up to 14% for premium services like escrow and various levels of insurance (7% for the buyer and 7% for the seller). Half of the additional fees will fund the Universal Basic Income (UBI), while the other half will be used to purchase incremental grants and services massively and globally from third parties. Nwiw oversees global service commissioning without profiting from fees, ensuring they cover service costs and UBI funding. Parcel delivery and escrow services may be included in the base tier or offered at higher levels based on transaction complexity. SunGPL's ecosystem offers a UBI funded by transaction fees to provide financial support to all wallet holders. These fees, ranging from 3% to 14%, not only sustain daily operations but also drive ecosystem growth and innovation. Nwiw, a decentralized governing body, manages UBI funds and fee allocation transparently through a liquid democracy model, promoting trust and accountability. By prioritizing UBI, fee structure, and governance, SunGPL aims to create a fair, sustainable, and inclusive tech ecosystem. 10% of UBI funds will be retained by Nwiw City to enhance services and engage a wider community in SunGPL's evolution, ensuring sustainability and inclusivity in ecosystem development. While maintaining anonymity in purchases if desired, wallets are not anonymous, one for every world citizen, with the identification system based on the fingerprint or heartbeat pattern over time, provided by future low-cost smartwatches. Wallets for groups or companies in SunGPL will be possible with their local government identification; however, UBI is only for individuals and world citizens. Even though the amount may be variable and modest initially, it is estimated that 7% of fees from all global transactions could constitute a decent basic salary worldwide. The impact of this system is significant, particularly for the half of the world's population living on less than one hundred dollars per month. Environmental Sustainability
