Ok that’s cool, keeping fingers crossed in anticipation

Hello, I have two great hopes that could come true by the end of the year !
I will travel next month to Dharamshala - where I am invited to join and walk with a Monk friend of mine.
There I will be connecting and staying with the Religious Tibetan community - with the hope to develop with them a prototype of the Cult section of D-Library. Using their wisdom and teaching to do it properly in one shot.
The dream of having a common trunk Library across cults might finally come true ! Giving all cults the possibility to administer new additions - while staying in the shadow for those who are not followers of any religion.
And I personally will be wearing a Robe ( traditional orange Monk outfit ) So that AI generated image of a monk coding under a small wooden office that I posted a month or so ago - will shortly become real ^^
It gives me plenty of time to release version 9.1 with a proper TRON support before I take off.
It seems like Tibetan language could be the first translation - finger crossed ^^
The second great hope - is that I might have support of an Australian First nation foundation - to legally receive donations online. They might be able to take D-Library under their umbrella while I am walking as a monk. The foundation is called NallaWilli . Nothing certain yet - Just something that might happen sooner than expected.

I must confess, the impression you give out, it’s quite obvious that you seem to have a hang of everything, walking alongside a Tibetan monk in Dharamshala and working with a community deeply rooted in spiritual wisdom obviously is the perfect environment to begin prototyping the Cult section.
But have you considered renaming CULT to something quite tender, like “SPIRITUAL BRANCH”?
Hoping you keep me/the community updated with media and consistent updates as your journey progresses.

Good day !
I need feedback, cult could be seen a pejorative term, vs spiritual community.
The topic of “spirituality” is not allowed under the D-Safe label.
Because it could be considered as “fiction” by some, or even shocking for others… And therefor, it could bring division , or favor a community over another (because of a community having a larger number of practitioners than the other).
It could also bring voting battles, ( which could be financially profitable - in the scenario where D-Library takes a % fee on every casted vote )
let’s take an example: an imaginary book that has been written by a famous author coming from Spirituality A, advocating an effective and cheap technique for restoring water purity. But a larger (or more influential) group from spirituality B - who has a long historical conflict with A - could vote that book out the Library - based on spiritual beliefs ( or ego ).
To remove all those possible conflicting situations that are more divisive than anything else, I chose to add spirituality in the list of topics that are not allowed in the D-Safe label.
This way, religious can use D-Library freely, and they can recommend it to their children without fear of them being “exposed” to another religion while studying.
Although during my traveling, I had the privilege to meet elders and leaders from many different spiritual backgrounds. Because the D-Licence has a very strict policy - when it comes to money and the protection of knowledge from corporate greed - it needs individuals to monitor the quality of new addition of books.
I came to the conclusion that only monks - who can be of any spiritual backgrounds - are trustworthy enough - and incorruptible when it comes with financial gains. (of course there are exceptions) .
After facing this paradox, where spiritual content is not allowed under the D-Safe classification BUT only spiritual leaders who have taken a wow of asceticism can protect it from the corruption of corporations - I came to the conclusion that spiritual communities must have their own version of D-Library. Think of it as a design skin - with a different domain name / brand and one extra category on the home page.
This way, all communities will share a common trunk of knowledge between all, and each of those community having their own extra section - to upload their public spiritual books -
i hope that makes sense.
And yes, I will post photos ^^ And I am open to anyone willing to join me in this adventure, remotely , or in person.
Ok, on the area of avoiding conflicts between religions, you shared a powerful example of one religion trying to suppress another’s content.
So I’m wondering, what system will you use to prevent spiritual groups from downvoting or blocking each other’s books?

The answer this question, on how it can become possible to get all spiritual movements to agree on common content, and common ground - when it comes to store content and data into the most durable book Library ever existed (so far) …
It is a book that has yet to be written.
I have all the designs and green-prints stored in my consciousness - the idea could properly be classified into the mad section, and it is fair to say it is technically achievable to deliver it with 2025 tech.
It involves decentralised tech, wisdom council indigenous tech.
Security wise, crypto keys are engraved onto granite (or crystal) stones using the ancient I-Ching oracles 64 characters sets for simultaneously encoding a crypto key and an oracle onto it. The actual password will be the hash of the interpretation of the oracle + the oracle itself. Not only to be able to ID as a leader, you would need to have the original , you will need to know how to read it properly.
The inspiration from the Dragon Balls are real - where a number of separate oracle stones needs to be gathered together for unlocking the super admin section of the Library.
I don’t have the exact specifications on that part, and I am looking forward to learn more from the upcoming journey and feedback ahead of me.

That was a well detailed response man.
Thanks, I really appreciate it 
You clearly described the challenge of defining shared truths across spiritual movements, do you think it’s better to start with shared practical content like health, food, etc, before the deeper parts?

Oh man, I though deeply about this.
I wouldn’t go the medicinal path
I am personally an advocate of plant based medecine, and I already healed myself from a serious auto immune disease that all doctors & PhD were calling surgery on a decade ago, only using diet. Nothing fancy - but free and super effective.
The truth is that I cannot be held responsible of any mistake made in alternative (or modern) medicine.
Whatever direction I look at, past present & future, traditional, modern and holistic, this domain is so tied to money and charlatans that it will automatically bring issues as soon as it gets live.
How does anyone assess a cure is effective , and not a subtle poison? How about side effects, allergies, plants genetic differences based on climate, ecosystem and location that could create complications ?
Also, what do you think will happen to me, you and this forum if someone publish the cure for cancer on D-Library ?
Also, this is why I was initially using the word cult … A cult can be spiritual. But It can also be scientific, cultural and philosophical.
When spiritual leaders will be satisfied to collaborate within D-Library framework, then it could be possible to add an “Herborist Cult”, and a “Chemical manufacturing cult” - that will both be non commercial.
A musicians cult too could be added - where people share their musical creations ( everything is possible really ).
But I ultimately believe that only when all spiritual leaders are aligned with the solution - and are given the responsibility to assess the common trunk content together - it will be safe to add other dimensions to it.
And I agree with you… It is not going to be easy.
Actually - it is bloody hard - you cannot imagine how much financial, emotional and social setbacks i went trough those last few years - since I started it.
Although, the positives & the negatives usually balanced out over time, the amplitude of it is rather huge compared to what I used to be as a freelance software engineer.

So far, your reply has been really thoughtful to read I must confess.
I see you pointed at the dangers of monetization and political backlash which is quite worrisome and should be treated with inept caution always but, does this mean you would somehow inculcate a disclaimer within the D-Library?
1 Like
Thank you !
Yes, I am working on it.
Unfortunately, I deployed a buggy version in production yesterday. Hopefully today, I have a partial fix. (working on it)
The disclaimer is the D-Licence itself, and what the D-Safe label is about.
There is also a “Secret Machine” section that I want to restore from version 8 - which goes into more specifics details - that we are discussing together here..

OK, I just uploaded a partially working version… Still running on TestNet - as I am working on the stats page.
Here is current the disclaimer: The Library
Keep in mind that 99.99% of people don’t read any page with the word “Licence” in it.

Well right now, I am so fed up with it that I go web 1.0 style… press F5, change, repeat.
I did some real dumb move and deployed the dev version to prod…
Next version will use the same Vue code, but adapted to astro .
Astro will allow me to do pre-rendering for every URLs (like It did last year).
I will then use a proper end to end testing methodology.
Since I know it will be rewritten again, I gave up on writing unit tests for now.
Right now, my process is noob champ style.

Must’ve been a really stressful episode
I also presume Astro made it a bit easier, are there other reasons why you choose Astro over other frameworks?
You’re smashing it on all fronts man, keep it up!
