💻Software, Telco & Other Leviathan
Free Token Symbol: FSTT
Goal/Mission
The goal of this Leviathan is to provide the whole world with enough tech devices and connectivity by 2040. It works towards a world where those items are abundant and freely available for anyone to use.
Why Join?
If you love the idea of a world with free access to tech devices for anyone, you should join this Leviathan.
Items belonging to the Leviathan are kept with its members and go from member to member depending on who needs them and when. Members with the highest level of participation in the Leviathan are more likely to get an item they've requested than those with a lower level of participation.
You participate by making regular deposits to the valuepools of the Leviathan, sharing items with the community, taking care of items you get from the community, and voting on proposals.
Acquisition Valuepool
This valuepool implements the concept of the sharing economy where members post their devices and other items they are willing to share and can request access to anything posted by other members.
Members can post on their partner walls with this Leviathan's CanCan channel, anything they are willing to share: internet devices, electronics, laptops, phones, modems, etc.
Imagine having free access to an infinite supply of devices and all you need to do is to request for what you need; provided you can show proof of trustworthiness or active participation to the community.
That's exactly what the sharing economy is and that is what this valuepool is creating.
A proof is anything that can get other members to trust that providing you access to an item from their respective energy walls, actually helps advance the cause of the valuepool. It can be:
An NFT from the valuepool with enough funds locked under it to pay for the item you are requesting for
IOUs showing you've been providing items from your own wall to other members
A badge from an auditor testifying to your active participation, need for the item, or your trustworthiness
Participation in the DIP - Decentralized Internet Project
A good social credit that channels like Tontines can help you create
The more of each of these you have (displayed on your profile page), the higher your chances of getting a device when you request one.
The valuepool uses its fund (which it constitutes from members' deposits and sponsoring) to buy and provide members of the community with access to more devices. The decision on how many of each device gets purchased is made by the community through votes.
Its vested token is the Vested Acquisition Software & Telco & Other Token (vaFSTT) and its token is the Free Software & Telco & Other Token (FSTT)

Manufacturing Valuepool
This valuepool builds up bottegas in the technology space so they can help provide enough technology devices to the world.
This valuepool funds the creation of its bottegas using what we call an infinite investment strategy.
Infinite Investment strategy:
Step 1 - Valuepool uses X amount from its fund to create non-profit Y
Step 2 - Members of valuepool utilize non-profit Y's services/products and value Y at X+ amount
Step 3 - Y borrows X amount from a bank to reimburse valuepool but is still 100% owned by valuepool
Step 4 - Valuepool uses X amount to create new non-profit Y2
Its vested token is the Vested Manufacturing Free Software & Telco & Other Token (vmFSTT) and its token is the Free Software & Telco & Other Token (FSTT)
Research Valuepool
This valuepool funds research efforts in the bottegas.
Its vested token is the Vested Research Free Software & Telco & Other Token (vrFSTT) and its token is the Free Software & Telco & Other Token (FSTT)
The DIP - Decentralized Internet Project
The goal of this project is to provide internet coverage to the entire globe by having as many people as possible, install internet antennas on their roofs. The more people participate in the project, the more coverage we can offer the world. To link continents, we resort to satellites or underwater cables.
Access to our internet service is free for members who do not intend to use it for commercial purposes or business. For those who do, we offer competitive pricing.
Every profit made by the project is reinjected into offering more coverage and more decentralization to our users.
Software & Technology Bottegas
These are the renaissance Bottegas with a campus big enough to house experts and their students. They hold 10% experts in research & manufacturing of software and technology items and 90% students. The role of the Bottegas is to help the Leviathan reach its goal as fast as possible.
Just like with universities, the objective of the experts is to transmit all their knowledge in the field to the students and the objective of the students is to become experts themselves.
Bottegas have comfortable residences for all their experts and apartment buildings for all their students. All utilities are provided free of charge to all residents of a Bottega.
Just like with a workshop, a Bottega has working spaces, factories (for phones, laptops, antennas for the DIP, tech devices, data centers, etc.), labs, and any other necessary infrastructure where both students & experts work on real software and technology projects which is essentially how the experts transmit their knowledge to the students. There are no classes or actual classrooms nor are there any exams or grades. Students' performances are evaluated on the work they do, just like with employees in a tech company.
Both experts or students can get replaced by other experts who are not yet members of the Bottega but prove capable of contributing at a higher level to the Bottega.
How do Bottegas sustain themselves?
Businesses or individuals submit Bottegas, manufacturing, or research orders in the software & technology space and Bottegas also manufacture and sell items in the software & technology space. All the money generated by Bottegas goes to the Leviathan which uses it to sustain them, create new Bottegas, buy items for its members, or invest in other non-profits.
Bottegas put roughly half of their efforts into completing submitted orders and the other half into working on projects intended to provide enough software and technology items to the world.
Tenure
Each expert is responsible for a group of students even if students can still learn from other experts.
After 7 years in a bottega, experts can submit proposals to the manufacturing/research valuepool to get tenure. The more students experts help advance, the higher their chances of getting a favorable vote from the Leviathan's community.
For an expert, getting tenure means having permanent expert status in any bottega of this Leviathan. Students can become experts and then get tenure as well.
Vision
There will be as many Bottegas as needed in each country around the world to provide each one of those countries with better, cheaper, and ultimately free software and technology.
