About
2 audiobooks. One lives on Arweave behind the first working tokengate ever built for Counterparty. The OG Bitcoin NFT protocol from 2014. Nobody figured this out until now. The other is a physical device shaped like an ancient book.
Impact
XCP did everything 1st and got left behind. This proves the old tech still works and can do things people thought required newer chains. A 570-page sci-fi novel about a family fighting the Fed for 140yrs. The invention of Bitcoin starts a revoution.
Progress
Book is done. Printed. #1 New Release on Amazon. 35-chapter audiobook on Arweave. Token gate works. Actually works. On Counterparty. People are using it right now. I need to build the physical grimoire device and properly launch what I already built
Team
I wrote it. Recorded it. Built the token gate that people said couldn't be done on Counterparty. I've been making Fake Rares and NFT's since 21'. This isn't a concept. The work exists. I just need help finishing the hardware and getting it to people.

Season totals as displayed on the platform's public accounting — not a statement of amounts paid out. V2 = Venus sales + Venus extras. The original page also broke each season down by fund drive and showed an Available (unclaimed) balance; that level of detail survives only on the preserved snapshots.
