what is this?
overtcurrency is a tiny experiment in treating randomness like a public currency. drop a file, give it a label, and the system mints a unique proof-of-claim hash from the chaos you provided.
everything lives on the surface. just a rolling scoreboard of the loudest claims.
how a claim is born
when a mommy claim and a daddy claim love eachother very much...
you upload a file. we cryptographically fingerprint it (well actually, this happens client-side. your file itself never leaves your computer.), we blend in your label, the exact moment you showed up, and a burst of fresh randomness. that cocktail spits out a new hash plus a score.
scores aren't permanent: anyone can return later with more material for the same idea and try to push its numbers even higher. the board only cares about the latest noise you feed it.
emergent behavior
because claims are just hashes with scores, people start treating them like messages. a clever label + hugh mungus file can resonate, and strangers who like it can quietly reinforce it with their own uploads. the result feels a bit like an anonymous thread where attention equals entropy.
some claims grow because the story is interesting. others because a crowd decides to nurture them. nothing is moderated except by probability.
things to keep in mind
- claims are public; dont upload anything you wouldnt want hashed forever.
- scores fluctuate; the board shows the latest 1,000 claims and the most well-fed ideas.
- theres no undo. the only way to respond is to add more entropy.
