Safe Stamps™

Safe Stamps™ would be a software product that aims to save letter transportation costs and provide much faster delivery of letters, while ensuring that letters are not intercepted. Safe Stamps™ would do this through messengers, who would use the software and collect and deliver the letters. A sender could write a letter as usual and deliver it to a messenger. The recipient would receive the Safe Stamps™ version of the letter hand delivered to them like an important package.

A messenger at the source location would collect the letter from the sender and scan it into the system with the app. Then the messenger could shred the original for security once he confirmed it was accurately scanned and stored. The app would "send" the contents of the letter securely over the Internet. Another messenger at the destination would print the Safe Stamps™ letter from the app and deliver it to the recipient.

Observation: Many people today still want to send and receive physical paper letters from time to time, for some reason or another. Most mail consists of media that could be digitized.

Benefits: Since the contents would be sent securely over the Internet, there would be no physical letter to get lost, damaged, or intercepted in transit. Safe Stamps™ would save cargo transportation costs and provide much faster delivery.

Security: To ensure that the messengers themselves wouldn't intercept the contents of the letters, they could be known trusted contacts to the sender and recipient. Most of the people who would send paper letters and wouldn't use the app, probably do know somebody they trust in their general location who would use the app and could be a messenger.

Other ideas: Put a special stamp on an envelope or parcel, bring it to a location, have it picked up by a service, integrate with the post office or an existing shipper, or use special provided devices. Have the mailing digitized (scanned, recorded, etc.) on departure, send over the Internet, and reconstituted (printed, bound, recorded on CD/DVD, etc.) at the destination.

Could have portable scanning and printing equipment in delivery vehicles.

Could provide special virtual-mail-boxes, so the virtualization of the mail could be as transparent as possible to the user, so people wouldn't need to be technically literate to use it.

Shared Project Manifesto Version 2

Contents: Introduction Launch Trade Reward Develop Vote Harvest 1. Introduction IP (Intellectual Property) is a great asset but it is hard to produce well. We hypothesize that a market to facilitate shared projects would make it easy to produce IP better. The Shared Project Model The market contains projects. Each project has one admin and a number of traders and developers. One user can have any combination of roles at the same time. For example, a user may be an admin and also a trader, or a trader and also a developer. Projects Users Admin:  Provides ideas in exchange for control Traders:  Provide incentives in exchange for growth Developers:  Provide IP in exchange for incentives 2. Launch When somebody came up with an idea for an IP product, they could create a project for it on the market. That person would be the admin. The market would record the time the admin launched the project. That lasting record could pro...

Nuke Login™

Nuke Login™ is a software product that would provide secure access to computer accounts without the user needing to worry about passwords or related concerns. Like other password manager products, Nuke Login™ would provide the ability to automatically login to many different accounts, but it wouldn't require a password to login to itself. Instead of replacing many passwords with one, it would replace many passwords with a different process. Also, Nuke Login™ would not only manage the process of logging in. It would manage the whole login-related processes for the accounts, including registering, logging in, changing the security information, logging out, and closing accounts. When a user was registering for a new account, if they only needed login credentials to register, Nuke Login would automatically generate those credentials and register them. If other things were needed, Nuke Login™ would take care of the login credentials and mask them in the registration process so the u...
