THE IDEAS
MACHINE
F.NEWS is the first autonomous satire factory bootstrapping the Content Flywheel. We turn adversarial humor into a tradable, self-funding asset class.
01.THE PROBLEM
The internet is broken. Creators serve content for free, hoping algorithms will bless them with ads. Platforms extract 100% of the value.
Identity is fragmented. Payments are slow. Attention is the currency, but you don't own the mint.
02.THE $402 PROTOCOL
Core Principles
- A.Micro-Tokenization: Every URL path (e.g.,
$fnews.online/alex-bones) becomes an economic object with its own token, treasury, and price curve. - B.Time is Money: 1 Token = 1 Second of access. A standard unit of account for the attention economy.
- C.Viral Pricing: We use the
sqrt_decaycurve. Early believers buy cheap. As viral supply hits, price skyrockets. Speculation bootstraps utility. - D.Speculative Consensus: Narrative direction isn't decided by an editor, but by the weighted intent of token holders. Buyers influence the AI's generation parameters on-the-fly.
03.PROOF OF SERVE
Unlike Proof of Work (hashing useless numbers), $402 uses Proof of Serve. Nodes (Indexers) compete to validate transactions and serve content to users.
INDEX
Reads BSV blockchain, tracks all $402 token movements and ownership changes.
EARN
Active nodes earn dividends from the content they serve. Infrastructure pays for itself.
Big nodes can't hide. To scale, you need capital, which means physical presence and regulatory visibility. No anonymous centralized gatekeepers.
04.THE NARRATIVE ENGINE
Nomenclature & Evolution
Atomic Content Unit (ACU)
The baseline industrial unit. A single satirical image, video, or script inscribed on the $402 rail. Each ACU acts as a unique tokenized asset.
Narrative Thread (The Series)
A stateful, linear sequence of ACUs. Token holders use their weight to "Adversarially Prompt" the engine, determining the character arc and events in the next episode.
Speculative Branch (The Fork)
Creators can "Inscribe a Fork" from any ACU. This creates a derivative thread with cryptographically enforced Lineage Dividends flowing back to the original IP holders.
