DUBAI, Nov 16, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Quranium, the Layer 1 DLT and DeQUIP (Decentralized Quantum-Uncrackable Infrastructure Protocol) setting a new standard for secure, scalable, and accessible blockchain technology, has today launched its Core Layer (L1) Testnet, along with QSafe, a quantum-secure crypto wallet purpose-built for an era of unprecedented security demands.QSafe, an uncrackable, decentralized crypto wallet to interact with the Quranium blockchain, is available now for early adopters, who can claim test QRN tokens through the Quranium Faucet (available at faucet.quranium.org). This will enable them to explore QSafe’s functionality while positioning themselves for future ecosystem rewards and incentives planned for January 2025 and beyond.QSafe and the Quranium Core Layer (L1) Testnet will provide users with access to a secure ecosystem where test QRN tokens can be claimed, blockchain activities validated through QRNScan, and wallet functionality tested—all within a system built to be uncrackable.As decentralized finance and blockchain adoption expand, so do the risks associated with conventional wallets, which rely on cryptographic methods that are vulnerable super-computational power. The security risks are not merely a concern for the future—today’s data and assets could already be exposed to data harvesting attacks, where adversaries collect encrypted data now to decrypt later with advanced quantum resources.QSafe Wallet: Features and Functionality for Early AdoptersQSafe is a decentralized, lightweight wallet available for download today. Similar to the functionality of Electrum in Bitcoin Core, QSafe allows users to securely create and manage wallets, send and receive test QRN tokens, and track transactions within the Quranium testnet. Download wallet at https://www.qsafewallet.com/Key Features Include:Uncrackable Quantum-Secure Architecture: Built on Quranium’s Layer 1 protocol, QSafe incorporates quantum-resistant cryptographic algorithms, making it impervious to current and future supercomputing or quantum-enabled cracking attempts.Seed Phrase-Based Security: Users can create or import wallets using secure seed phrases, ensuring privacy and full control over their testnet assets.Lightweight Design: QSafe does not require users to download the entire Quranium blockchain, providing a fast, lightweight experience without sacrificing security or decentralization.Comprehensive Transaction Management: Users can send and receive test QRN tokens, track transaction histories, and view detailed blockchain metadata—all within the wallet.Access to Testnet Incentives: Early adopters can claim test QRN tokens through the Quranium Faucet (available at https://faucet.quranium.org), enabling them to explore QSafe’s functionality while positioning themselves for future ecosystem rewards.Core Features of the Quranium Core Layer (L1) TestnetThe Quranium Core Layer (L1) Testnet introduces users to a quantum-proof blockchain infrastructure designed to set a new benchmark in security and scalability. Key components include:Test QRN Faucet:Users can claim free test QRN tokens by visiting faucet.quranium.org and submitting their wallet addresses. Tokens are distributed securely, allowing users to test and interact with Quranium’s uncrackable network. Available at https://faucet.quranium.org.QRNScan Blockchain Explorer:Quranium’s blockchain explorer allows users to verify transactions, blocks, and metadata. QRNScan ensures transparency and provides detailed gas cost information for every activity on the network. Available at https://qrnscan.com/.Why QSafe is the Future of Blockchain SecurityBlockchain wallets and protocols have long relied on encryption standards like elliptic-curve cryptography (ECC), which are increasingly at risk of being compromised by the growing power of supercomputers and quantum computing. Unlike existing solutions, QSafe has been purpose-built to be uncrackable, ensuring user assets and data are protected against even the most advanced computational threats.How QSafe Outperforms Competitors:Uncrackable by Design: MetaMask, Trust Wallet, and similar wallets rely on elliptic-curve cryptography (ECC), leaving them vulnerable to cracking as quantum computing advances.

SINGAPORE, Nov 15, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - While most credit cards offer common benefits like fraud protection, they may differ based on their features and benefits. Before applying for a particular credit card, it's helpful to understand the different types of credit cards and how they work. Explore the different types of credit cards below.Travel Credit CardsTravel credit cards offer opportunities to earn and/or redeem rewards against travel purchases. For example, the Citi PremierMiles Card lets cardmembers earn 1.2 Citi Miles for every S$1 spent locally and 2.2 Citi Miles for every S$1 spent in foreign currency. Enjoy two annual complimentary airport lounge visits and get up to S$1 million in insurance coverage. While the exact benefits of a travel credit card may vary, travel cards provide exceptional value for people who travel often.Rewards Credit CardRewards credit cards help cardmembers earn points with every swipe and are an excellent choice for people who want more from their shopping experiences. Some rewards cards offer points with every purchase, others offer bonus rewards when cardmembers shop from categories like fuel, groceries, dining, entertainment, etc. The Citi Prestige Card earns rewards on all local and overseas spends and offers premium experiences like lounge access, golf privileges, concierge services, complimentary night hotel stay worldwide and more.Cash back CardsCash back cards provide cardmembers cash rebates on eligible transactions, making them a great option for people who prioritize savings. Some cash back cards allow redemption through shopping vouchers while others allow cardmembers to apply cash back toward credit card bill payments. Citi offers four different cash back credit cards that offer a range of benefits suited to different lifestyles and preferences. This includes the Citi Cash Back+ card where there is no cap on cash back earned and cash back earned does not expire.Business Credit CardsCorporate or business credit cards are created to simplify payments for businesses. They help business owners create a separate line of credit for their company, enable fast and seamless payments, and offer rewards like points or cash back. Business credit cards can help with expense tracking and management while offering exclusive privileges and deals to cardholders like complimentary travel insurance and corporate liability waiver insurance. Citi offers three business credit cards that offer exceptional benefits and discounts on restaurants, travel bookings and more.Student Credit CardStudent credit cards offer young adults the chance to build credit and enjoy great deals. The Citi Clear Card has no minimum income requirement and allows cardmembers to earn rewards on every purchase and enjoy the safety of secure transactions. Student credit cards are one way for first time cardholders to learn how credit works, make the best of rewards programs like ThankYou rewards, and get an array of discounts through Citi World Privileges.Choosing the right credit cardRemember that it's vital to compare credit cards to properly identify the best fit. Here are a few things to consider before applying for a credit card:Benefits and rewards: Aspiring cardmembers should identify areas where they spend the most and find a credit card that rewards those purchases. Bargain hunters can prioritize credit card rewards programs that favour spending on fuel, groceries, entertainment, and dining. Adventurers and business travellers may travel often enough to justify a travel credit card to earn miles and get airport lounge access.Fees and interest: Credit cards carry annual fees, and premium cards may have higher fees than basic cards. Usually, the annual fees will give additional perks back to the customer in the form of points or miles. Card applicants should be informed about fees and charges before applying for a card.Reward complexity: Many cardmembers miss out on opportunities to redeem their points because they don't understand the redemption process. A complex rewards program with category-specific benefits or many redemption rules may not be for everyone. A simple program with no minimum spends and a flat cashback rate on all or most purchases is ideal for many people. It's also important to understand when rewards expire.The right credit card can make purchases and payments easier and more rewarding. But it's important to consider the pros and cons of credit cards, carefully read the terms and conditions, and consider individual needs before making a suitable choice.Citibank SingaporeCitibank Singapore offers consumers and institutions a range of financial products and services, including consumer and investment banking, credit cards, and personal loans.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 15, 2024) - Military Metals Corp. (CSE: MILI) (OTCQB: MILIF) (FSE: QN90)(the "Company" or "Military") is pleased to announced that it has closed its previously disclosed transaction, pursuant to which 1509149 B.C. Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, amalgamated with 1458205 B.C. Ltd. (the "Target") such that the Company has acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares in the capital of the amalgamated entity (the "Transaction").In connection with the Transaction, the Company issued 10,000,000 Common shares in the capital of the Company (the "Company Shares"), at a deemed issuance price of $0.56 per Company Share, to the shareholders of the Target. Previously, it was contemplated that the Company would assume the Target's obligations in respect of 3,499,997 share purchase warrants, which were to become exercisable into Company Shares on closing, however the parties to the Transaction have amended the terms, and such obligation is not being assumed by Military. The Company Shares issued are not subject to resale restrictions under applicable Canadian securities laws.About the Projects:The Transaction results in the Company acquiring three mineral exploration projects in Slovakia, being the Trojarová antimony-gold project, the Tiennesgrund antimony-gold project, and the Medvedi tin project. It is the intention of the Company to produce a technical report under National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") in connection with Trojarová. The Company also intends to file a Business Acquisition Report for the Transaction in accordance with the requirements of applicable securities laws.About the Trojarová Antimony-Gold ProjectAs first reported in the Company's news release regarding Trojarová dated October 30, 2024, discovered in the late 1970s Trojarová was the focus of extensive surface and underground exploration from 1983 to 1995, with 63 core holes completed for a total of 14,330m, along with 1.7km of underground development starting in 1990, ultimately comprising a 300-meter-long adit connected to a 700-plus meter-long drive in the footwall of the mineralized zone with seven crosscuts into the mineralized zone for sampling purposes. These efforts culminated in a multi-volume study comprising drill logs, analyses, drill plans, maps and sections, deposit model studies, petrographic studies, metallurgical studies and more, culminating in a multi-volume compendium of reports produced by the Slovak Geological Institute published in 1992. The historical estimate at Trojarová was classified using the Slovak version of the newly post-Soviet Russian classification system, which is not directly comparable to or compatible with the western system as defined by the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy & Petroluem ("CIM Definition Standards for Mineral Resources & Mineral Reserves"). The Slovak Geological Institute, the State agency that carried out all exploration and underground development work at Trojarová, classified the resource as "P1" in the Slovak version of the Russian classification system. P1 is closest within the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy & Petroleum's ("CIM") classification system to "Inferred Mineral Resources," which is defined by the CIM as that part of a Mineral Resource for which quantity and grade or quality are estimated on the basis of limited geological evidence gathered through appropriate sampling techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes.The 1992 Report contains a table featuring ten alternate historical resource estimates, five focused on the antimony component of the mineralized system and five on its gold component, each group of five featuring decreasing tonnage at increasing grade for antimony and gold, respectively.

溫哥華，2024年11月17日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 軍事金屬公司（Military Metals Corp.） (CSE: MILI) (OTCQB: MILIF) (FSE: QN90)（簡稱“公司”或“軍事”）很高興宣佈，其已完成先前披露的交易。根據該交易，公司全資子公司1509149 B.C. Ltd.與1458205 B.C. Ltd.（簡稱“目標公司”）合併，從而使公司獲得合併實體100%的已發行和流通普通股（簡稱“交易”）。在本次交易中，公司向目標公司的股東發行了10,000,000股公司普通股（簡稱“公司股份”），每股發行價格被視為0.56美元。此前曾計劃由公司承擔目標公司在3,499,997份認股權證方面的義務，這些認股權證在交易完成時可轉換為公司股份。然而，交易各方已對條款進行了修訂，公司不再承擔該項義務。根據適用的加拿大證券法律，此次發行的公司股份不受轉售限制。關於項目：通過此次交易，公司收購了位於斯洛伐克的三個礦產勘探項目：Trojarová 銻金項目、Tiennesgrund 銻金項目和 Medvedi 錫項目。公司計劃根據《國家文書43-101礦產項目披露標準》（簡稱“NI 43-101”）為 Trojarová 項目製作一份技術報告。此外，公司還計劃根據適用的證券法律要求提交一份業務收購報告（Business Acquisition Report）。關於 Trojarová 銻金項目根據公司於2024年10月30日發布的關於 Trojarová 項目的新聞稿，Trojarová 於20世紀70年代末被發現，並在1983年至1995年間成為大規模地表和地下勘探的重點。該期間共完成了63個核心鑽孔，總鑽探長度達14,330米，同時從1990年開始進行1.7公里的地下開發工作，包括一條300米長的隧道，連接到礦化區腳牆內700多米長的巷道，並在礦化區內設置了7條橫切巷道用於取樣。這些勘探工作最終形成了一套多卷本的研究成果，涵蓋鑽探日誌、分析報告、鑽探平面圖、礦床模型研究、岩相學研究、冶金研究等。所有研究由斯洛伐克地質研究所完成，並於1992年發布了一套多卷本的報告。根據這份歷史報告，Trojarová 的資源估算使用了蘇聯解體後俄羅斯分類體系的斯洛伐克版本，而這一體系與加拿大礦業、冶金和石油協會（CIM）制定的資源與儲量分類標準並不直接兼容。斯洛伐克地質研究所——負責 Trojarová 所有勘探和地下開發工作的國家機構——將資源分類為“P1”，這一分類在 CIM 分類體系中最接近於“推測礦產資源”。根據 CIM 的定義，“推測礦產資源”是基於有限的地質證據，並通過適當取樣技術從露頭、溝槽、礦坑、作業和鑽孔等位置估算的資源。1992年的報告包含一張表格，列出了十種不同的歷史資源估算情景，其中五種集中於礦化系統的銻成分，五種集中於其金成分。這些估算表格分別顯示了隨著品位提高而噸位減少的趨勢。Trojarová 歷史資源估算情景（來源：Michel 等，1992）如需查看該圖表的增強版本，請訪問：https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10818/230288_a61f2007c4ec68b4_001full.jpg 在完成合併後，公司將通過確認鑽探計劃驗證這一歷史資源估算，以便根據《國家文書43-101礦產項目披露標準》（National Instrument 43-101）將 Trojarová 的礦產資源分類為當前資源。顯示軍事金屬公司在斯洛伐克項目位置的地圖如需查看該圖表的增強版本，請訪問：https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10818/230288_a61f2007c4ec68b4_002full.jpg 投資者關係活動：公司宣布已簽訂與營銷和投資者關係相關的協議。根據2024年10月24日的新聞稿，公司聘請了 Clarkham Capital（簡稱“Clarkham”）提供投資者關係服務，重點針對德國股票市場和德語投資社群，以支持公司在法蘭克福證券交易所上市（簡稱“Clarkham協議”）。Clarkham 協議將於2024年11月18日生效。根據協議條款，Clarkham 將提供包括社交媒體管理、內容創建、分發、數位營銷在內的服務，例如在多種金融平台和新聞通訊上撰寫文章和報導、在德國翻譯和發布新聞稿，以及其他與公司商定的營銷服務（簡稱“Clarkham服務”）。該協議有效期為兩個月，公司將一次性支付200,000歐元（約合298,340加元）作為服務費用。Clarkham 服務將由 Sebastian Korbach 代表 Clarkham 提供，聯繫方式為 +44-20-38839398 或 cc@clarkham.com。Clarkham 與公司不存在任何直接或間接的利益關係，也無權獲取公司或其證券的任何權益。此外，公司與 Robert Sinn（簡稱“Sinn”）簽訂了一項一次性媒體服務協議。根據協議，Sinn 將提供包括視頻內容創建、分發和數位營銷在內的服務，這些服務將與一段視頻採訪相關，並將在 BNN Bloomberg 等投資平台上發布（簡稱“Sinn服務”）。Sinn 服務將於2024年11月20日開始，公司將一次性支付2,500美元作為服務費用。Sinn 的聯繫方式為 +352-613-2850 或 ceotechnician@gmail.com，地址為 Suite 508, 416 SW 1st Avenue, Fort Lauderdale, FL, 33301。Sinn 與公司不存在任何直接或間接的利益關係，也無權獲取公司或其證券的任何權益。2024年11月15日，公司與 GRA Enterprises LLC（以國家通貨膨脹協會 [NIA] 名義經營）簽訂了一項媒體服務合同（簡稱“NIA協議”）。根據 NIA 協議的條款，NIA 將為公司提供包括社交媒體管理、內容創建、分發、數位營銷在內的服務，以及其他公司與 NIA 商定的營銷服務（簡稱“NIA服務”）。這些服務將通過諸如 BNN Bloomberg 和 Benzinga 等受歡迎的投資者平台進行分發。NIA 協議的期限為三（3）個月，預計於2024年11月18日左右開始。公司將一次性支付 NIA 30,000美元作為服務費用。Gerard Adams 將代表 NIA 為公司提供服務，其聯繫方式為 +973-277-7674 或 inflationusceo@gmail.com，地址為 112 Camp Lane, Mooresville, NC 28117。公司不會向 NIA 提供任何形式的證券作為補償。Gerard Adams 和 NIA 與公司不存在任何直接或間接的利益關係，也無權獲取公司或其證券的任何權益。本新聞稿的技術內容已由 Avrom E.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - November 14, 2024) - Military Metals Corp. (CSE: MILI) (OTCQB: MILIF) (FSE: QN90) (the "Company" or "Military") is pleased to announced that it has entered into a Letter of Intent ("LOI") with Amador Mining LLC, to acquire the past-producing Last Chance (aka Wall Canyon) antimony-gold property ("Last Chance" or "the Property"), located in Nye County Nevada.The property is located 18km (11 miles) due west of the Round Mountain Gold Mine, and is accessible by road NF-157 that runs west from Highway 376 into the Toiyabe National Forest. The nearest town is Tonopah. The elevation at the historical mineshaft on the property is just under 8,000 feet above sea level. Prospecting for gold in the area - the Jett Mining District, dates back to the 1870s, leading to the discovery of the Last Chance historical antimony mine. First recorded production of antimony was in 1915 with mining activity recorded throughout both World War One and Two and then in 1957-58, as well. Mostly gold-focused exploration work by the United States Geological Survey and Nevada Bureau of Mines during the 1980s further documented antimony and associated gold mineralization in the area, leading to the development of a small (historical) low-grade gold resource.Historical mining and drill data indicate that antimony mineralization is both structurally and stratigraphically controlled, hosted in faults and receptive carbonate units, in quartz veins that crosscut gold-mineralized zones indicating that it is part of a younger mineralizing event. Dikes of serpentinized ultramafics are known nearby although this relationship may be more rheological versus metallogenic (exploiting the same structures), given what is known about the age and metallogenesis of epithermal gold deposits in the region.Military plans a program of detailed surface mapping and sampling upon which a drilling program to test the full potential of the system will be undertaken. The Company plans to enter a definitive purchase agreement within 30 days, and has provided a $10,000 USD exclusivity deposit to the seller. The pending acquisition includes the past-producing mine and covers 5 unpatented mineral claims for total compensation of $45,000 USD and includes a 2% Net Smelter Royalty ("NSR").The technical contents of this release were reviewed and approved by Avrom E. Howard, MSc, PGeo, geological consultant to Military Metals and a qualified person as defined by NI 43-101.Figure 1To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10818/229931_a9822e8c04a2183d_001full.jpgAbout Military Metals Corp.

東京, 2024年11月14日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 田中貴金屬集團核心企業──以產業用貴金屬展開事業的田中貴金屬工業株式會社（總公司：東京都中央區，執行總裁：田中 浩一朗）宣布為全球首次成功開發出將白金（鉑、Pt）材料晶粒粒徑※2控制在奈米級的塊狀體※3。就一般金屬的塊狀體來說，其平均粒徑最小約為10μm左右，而在此新技術中，我們能夠將晶粒平均粒徑控制在奈米大小，且可以製造出純度99.9%以上的高純度白金材料，其硬度為一般白金材料的10倍，強度為一般白金材料的4倍。在含有貴金屬的金屬材料中，眾所周知晶粒尺寸越小，其金屬的各項特性則越加提升。近年來，在鋼鐵材料與非鐵金屬方面，透過強力加工予以極大的塑性變形※5以及形成再結晶結構，藉此實現了將晶粒粒徑的尺寸奈米化。金屬材料雖然會因為強力加工導致短時間的加工硬化※6，但就高純度的貴金屬材料來說，由於構成晶體的原子進行重新排列以及新晶粒的成核和成長在幾個小時到幾天內就會發生，且會出現材料硬度明顯下降（軟化）的現象等緣故，所以過去要透過強力加工將晶粒微細化是非常困難的。此次，田中貴金屬工業透過優化製程成功將白金的晶粒粒徑控制在奈米大小，同時將其塊狀化。使用此技術製造的白金材料，其硬度和強度比一般的白金還更有顯著提升。這是因為在整個材料中，存在著高密度的小角度晶界、大角度晶界或排差等晶格缺陷，所以儘管其為純白金，所顯示出的特性與一般為人所知的白金特性還是有很大的不同。作為一種高純度白金且展現出高機能的新材料，將有望應用到電子產業與航空航太領域等廣泛產業。關於奈米晶粒材料的開發大多數的金屬材料為多晶體，是由小晶粒所組成。金屬則是透過把組成的晶粒微細化，使其材料特性有所提升。晶粒若是越小，在整個材料中的晶粒邊界或排差等晶格缺陷所佔的比例就會越高。相較於廣為人所討論的金屬材料物理性質與特性的狀況，在擁有奈米級晶粒粒徑的材料上，由於其晶格缺陷的比例高到難以相比，從而產生與過去的材料截然不同的獨特物理性質和特性。（※1） 全球第一：截至2024年10月30日，自家公司的調查（從白金材料塊狀體的專利和論文中調查）（※2） 晶粒、晶粒粒徑：金屬材料具有原子會規律排列的結構。在此結構中，原子排列位向不同的各個區域稱為晶粒，而晶粒的尺寸稱為晶粒粒徑。（※3） 塊狀、塊狀體：非物質表面而是其內部具有三維結合的原子群稱為塊狀。而具有此種塊狀結構的固體稱為塊狀體。（※4） EBSD：藉由電子束照射具有晶體結構的材料，分析材料表面產生的電子背向散射繞射，來調查材料的晶體資訊（晶系、粒徑、方向性）的方法。（※5） 塑性變形：在對材料施加外力產生的形變中，即使去除外力材料也不會恢復原狀的一種形變。（※6） 加工硬化：透過將應力施加在金屬上，在塑性變形積蓄後，導致金屬變硬的現象。（※7） Royal Pure Platinum：在保有99.9%純度的同時，還比普通的純白金材料有更大的硬度和強度，是田中貴金屬工業的原創素材。關於田中貴金屬集團田中貴金屬集團自1885年（明治18年）創業以來，營業範圍向來以貴金屬為中心，並以此展開廣泛 活動。在日本國內，以最高水準的貴金屬交易量為傲的田中貴金屬集團，長年以來除了進行產業用貴 金屬產品的製造和販售外，也供應貴金屬製作珠寶飾品和投資型貴金屬商品。本集團以貴金屬專業團隊之姿，旗下的國內外各集團公司協調合作，使製造、販售與技術一體化，並供應相關產品與服務。2023 年度（2023年12月止）的合併營業額為6,111億日圓，擁有5,355名員工。產業事業全球網站https://tanaka-preciousmetals.com/tw/產品諮詢表田中貴金屬工業株式會社https://tanaka-preciousmetals.com/tw/inquiries-on-industrial-products/新聞媒體諮詢處田中控股株式會社https://tanaka-preciousmetals.com/tw/inquiries-for-media/新聞稿: http://www.acnnewswire.com/docs/files/20241114_CT.pdf Copyright 2024 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

SEATTLE, WA, Nov 12, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Spectral Capital (OTCQB: FCCN), FCCN Spectral Capital's Chairman, Sean Brehm shares insights into Spectral’s DQLDB and The Vogon Cloud. Spectral Capital Group a leading innovator in decentralized cloud technology and advanced quantum ledger solutions outlines its vision for Spectral’s Vogon DQLDB with Plato Data Intelligence's Bryan Feinberg.Bryan Feinberg: Sean, I saw your post on X about Vogon DQLDB and its potential to transform financial systems. You mentioned the importance of human identity at the heart of commercial and capital markets. Can you explain what drives this visionSean Michael Brehm: At the heart of every market transaction is human identity—the sum of each individual’s daily contributions to the commercial world. This goes beyond financial exchanges; it’s about our choices, our interactions, and our values reflected in the economy. Our Vogon DQLDB is built with this central idea: each person's activity—whether buying, selling, or investing—is a piece of a larger narrative. By indexing these contributions using MSCI’s GICS standards, we categorize each transaction into primary, secondary, and tertiary subindustries, which provides a transparent, honest representation of our roles in the market. This kind of system gives people credit for the economic impact they bring.Bryan Feinberg: So, if I understand correctly, Vogon DQLDB is like a giant record-keeper that recognizes each person’s economic actions—whether I buy coffee, invest, or sell a used phone—as meaningful contributions. It tags each action to specific industries, showing that each of us is part of the economic story. Does that mean we’d all have a role in the markets beyond just being consumers Am I understanding that right, SeanSean Michael Brehm: Each transaction you make isn’t just about the money; it’s about showing your unique place and contribution in the economy regardless if you are in Boston or Botswana. By tagging actions to sub industries, we’re essentially writing a story where every participant is an author, making the market more inclusive and giving a clear picture of everyone’s impact. You’re not just a consumer; you’re a contributor to the system’s transparency and stability. Today your data is sold to others that do that and you don’t get any of the credit. Moving forward you remain the custodian of your data, meaning you control how it’s accessed and used within the system.Bryan Feinberg: You mentioned that this indexing could make Vogon DQLDB a modern version of the Buttonwood Agreement, returning transparency to the markets. How does that transparency affect market stability and honestySean Michael Brehm: Our team is passionate about returning global markets to the transparency that the Buttonwood Agreement symbolized back in 1792. Back then, agreements were based on mutual accountability and a shared framework. By indexing each person’s contributions and categorizing transactions transparently, Vogon DQLDB restores a sense of trust. It shows how individual contributions make up the foundation of commercial and capital markets. This visibility helps create a more stable system, where people know their daily actions, large or small, are recorded and valued. It’s a fundamental shift back to the ethos of fair and open markets.Bryan Feinberg: This sounds like a fair trade simplification engine where people could see the full picture, with everyone’s contributions kept out in the open, so it’s clear how they matter. Would this make it harder for anyone to ‘game’ the systemSean Michael Brehm: It is all about fair trade and putting the human identity where it belongs: At the center of commercial and capital markets. Just like in the original Buttonwood Agreement, people would understand how their actions impact the system and trust that they’re being accounted for honestly. By making everything visible, we’re closing loopholes that might allow manipulations, making it easier for everyone to see the real, fair value of their contributions. Additionally, Vogon DQLDB employs advanced data encryption to protect individual data, so each person’s data is secure while remaining visible for regulatory and systemic oversight.Bryan Feinberg: Indexing transactions with the GICS standards is an innovative idea. Can you explain how this process works within DQLDBSean Michael Brehm: When someone makes a transaction, Vogon DQLDB automatically categorizes it according to MSCI’s GICS standards, tagging it to a primary, secondary, and tertiary subindustry. This indexing means that every action—sale, investment, or trade—gets transparently attributed within the market. DQLDB essentially creates a ledger transaction and a transparent, user-owned database organized as coalitions, where the impact of each transaction is visible and accountable. Individuals maintain custodianship over their data, meaning they can access, review, and even limit how this data is used in certain contexts. Their identity is protected by post quantum cryptography. This way, we see exactly where your human effort drives the market and how industries connect to individual and collective activity. It’s a level of granularity in understanding our economic footprint that’s never been possible before and because you remain anonymous, it drives the value of your data up further.Bryan Feinberg: If I buy something, the system tags that purchase based on what industry it falls into—like ‘Food and Drink’ if I buy lunch or ‘Tech’ if I buy a laptop. By tracking all my activities this way, DQLDB builds a clear picture of which industries are thriving or struggling based on my actions. Would it be like a mirror reflecting where I am putting all my money and timeSean Michael Brehm: It’s exactly that—a mirror reflecting our individual and collective choices that drive the economy. It provides an accurate picture of which industries matter most based on individual actions. Plus, it helps both individuals and businesses make informed choices by showing how their economic footprint interacts with market trends.Bryan Feinberg: You’ve talked about Vogon DQLDB supporting regulatory compliance. How does this focus on human identity and transaction visibility play out for financial oversightSean Michael Brehm: With Vogon DQLDB, regulators get a transparent, unbiased view of the market’s structure, right down to individual contributions. Each transaction reflects an identity within its industry, showing patterns that could reveal stability or potential risks. For example, if regulators notice a concentration of activity in specific sectors or a sudden shift in consumer behavior, they can respond proactively. This visibility helps create honest markets where contributions aren’t hidden or obscured but instead provide a stable foundation for economic oversight. We’re also in discussions with financial regulatory bodies to align our approach with industry standards, ensuring Vogon DQLDB can meet compliance requirements globally. It’s about building a fairer market system that operates with each participant's best interests in mind.Bryan Feinberg: The DQLDB essentially lets regulators ‘see’ the entire market more clearly—like a map that shows where all the action is happening and helps them spot risky trends early on. How does this make it easier to keep the market stable and safe for everyoneSean Michael Brehm: Now, with the Vogon DQLDB, regulators have a map to follow the action across sectors and industries in real time. They can react faster to shifts, and this creates a stable environment where everyone’s interests are protected. By enhancing transparency, we’re also limiting opportunities for shady practices to slip through the cracks.Bryan Feinberg: Your post also touched on high-frequency transactions. How does the Vogon DQLDB balance technical efficiency with personal, transparent data representationSean Michael Brehm: Vogon is designed for both speed and integrity. With our epoch-based structuring and VMerkelPairs, it handles high-frequency data while preserving each transaction’s unique identity. Every data entry in the ledger-database is preserved with its industry attribution, creating a clear, real-time trail of our daily economic footprint. This is essential for creating an open, honest system where people see how their actions contribute to the broader economy. Vogon DQLDB doesn’t just record transactions—it reflects them back as part of a shared economic narrative, helping people feel involved while also using energy-efficient processes that reduce its carbon footprint. This way, we support both high transaction speeds and environmental responsibility.Bryan Feinberg: So, the technology is fast enough to handle lots of transactions per second, but it doesn’t lose track of what each transaction actually represents. Is it fair to say that, even though the system processes everything at high speed, it still keeps a ‘personal touch’ by showing the meaning behind each transaction and keeping it secureSean Michael Brehm: Even though it’s fast, DQLDB is about showing how each one of your transactions—or organizational transactions—fits into the bigger picture. It does so security. Every action is recorded in a way that preserves its importance, so we see not just numbers but the real, human impact behind them and how businesses and governments use them responsibly.Bryan Feinberg: Hearing about this focus on human identity, how do you see Vogon DQLDB impacting financial interactions for everyday peopleSean Michael Brehm: At Spectral Capital, we believe it represents a shift from seeing markets as abstract entities to understanding them as a community of individual identities and choices. For the first time, people can see themselves in the market, with their transactions categorized transparently and their contributions valued. This return to transparency and inclusivity builds trust, making financial systems more accessible and relatable. Imagine a world where each person knows their economic role and sees their efforts contributing to market stability. We’re also launching pilot programs in the retail and banking sectors to illustrate this vision, making the market feel less distant and helping people see how their choices influence the system.Bryan Feinberg: I guess another way to look at this is that Vogon DQLDB will help people feel like they really matter in the financial system. Instead of the market being this distant, mysterious thing, we’d all see our own impact, and it would help us feel more involved.Sean Michael Brehm: Yes, don’t you think that the market should reflect each of us, not feel like a faceless machine Instead of your mobile phone data going to large institutions, it remains yours on the Vogon DQLDB brings and it brings your contributions front and center, making people feel connected and giving everyone a meaningful stake in a fair, stable financial future.Bryan Feinberg: Thank you, Sean. This vision of a human-centered market system is both powerful and timely. We look forward to seeing how Vogon DQLDB brings this vision to life.About FCCN Spectral Capital (OTCQB: FCCN)Based in Seattle, Washington, FCCN Spectral Capital is a leading innovator in decentralized cloud solutions, powered by advanced quantum ledger technology.
