I've been exploring a cyberpunk universe called <i>Chain://</i> where human consciousness can be uploaded to blockchain networks - but "digital immortality" comes at a brutal cost.<p>In <i>Web://Reflect</i> (2090s), your uploaded mind runs on *Mental Smart Chain (MSC)* - a specialized L2 where:<p>- Your stream of consciousness is literally a chain of memory blocks<p>- Staying "alive" requires paying continuous *PoII (Proof of Information Integration)* gas fees<p>- The system executes a "φ Matched Orders" process that gradually transfers your sense of self from biological brain to encrypted digital φ-state<p>- DMF (Digital Mind Foundation) monopolizes quantum computing and physical interfaces like a digital authoritarian regime<p>It's a world where:<p>- Thinking literally burns money (MSCoin)<p>- You might secretly run an off-chain "Drift" instance in IRES black markets to survive<p>- Your biological body becomes a high-maintenance peripheral<p>Would love to hear HN's thoughts on:<p>1. The technical/philosophical implications of blockchain-based consciousness<p>2. Economic models for digital existence<p>3. Parallels to today's web3/crypto struggles<p>Full setting: <a href="https://github.com/dmf-archive/dmf-archive.github.io/blob/main/drafts/realityengine-reflect-6.0.en.md">https://github.com/dmf-archive/dmf-archive.github.io/blob/ma...</a><p><i>(This is fiction, but the cryptography and tokenomics are rigorously designed.)</i>
