[ExI] Canonizer.com progress

[Brent Allsop]

Folks,

We've seen significant success by 'canonizing' theories of 
consciousness, significantly amplifying everyone's wisdom in this 
field.  Does anyone remember how everyone once hated anyone even 
mentioning the word 'qualia' in these forums?  That problem is now 
completely solved, and people just point to what camp they are in, 
without starting the war all over again, significantly amplifying all of 
our theoretical wisdom on this topic.

We are now adding a new topic to focus on, namely the Crypto Currency 
Survey Project.  Like consciousness, there is much disagreement in this 
new field, and most people are following one extreme, or the other, 
getting many things completely wrong, or at best focusing on what 
doesn't matter, while completely missing what is critically important.  
There is no good source of reliable information about what is and isn't 
important, just volumes and volumes of mistaken bleating noise.  So our 
goal is to make Canonizer.com the best and most trusted source of 
reliable information about what is the best currency 
http://canonizer.com/topic.asp/150, how much will Bitcoins be worth in 
one year: http://canonizer.com/topic.asp/154 and so on.  We're already 
seeing far more traction and interest with this topic than we got when 
the Consciousness Survey Project was first getting started.

We're getting ready to publish the results of the Consciousness Survey 
Project, make presentations at Bitcoin conferences, and so on, which 
should enable us to get enough traction to take things to the next 
level.  However, as so many of you are so quick to point out, there are 
still many problems with the still prototype system, and much work to be 
done before we can do these kinds of things successfully.

So as always, we're wondering if anyone would be interested in helping 
out with anything.  Many of you have already made significant 
contributions, for which Canonizer.com wouldn't have been possible 
without.  All such contributions have been recognized with "Shares" of 
Canonizer LLC. (see http://canonizer.com/topic.asp/4 for more details 
and disclaimers). Anyone can help with anything you think is important, 
but here are a few of the things we desperately need help with:


1. Cleaning up the current problematic e-mail handling system.
2. Completing a migration out of our basement to a real hosting system 
witch I'm really struggling with.
3. Long term, we want to migrate to the Open Shift's Platform as a 
Service system.  (Open Shift has offered us free hosting space) This is 
a great educational opportunity to easily learn the future of scalable 
hosted system deployment for anyone interested, and would enable 
Canonizer.com to easily and quickly scale to Wikipedia type size.
4. Lots more easy (at least for system experts) and hard things that 
need to be done, especially with the UX.


Canonizer.com is obviously showing how Transhumanist the drowned out 
minority expert consensus is, even within religious organizations. This 
is the tool we need to help the still minority expert opinion to be 
finally heard above the primitive bleating mistaken herding masses, and 
get something done.  Just talking doesn't help, but nobody can ignore 
groups speaking in a unified expert consensus voice where everyone is 
communicating concisely and quantitatively.

Upwards,

Brent Allsop
