Let me explain briefly the way forward a completely decentralised mail system that would also act as a system to make public to everyone our tracking so that will become possible to trace the locations in space and time of everyone that is willing to participate in it to benefit from it and help making it more possible and useful for others.

We would have a client app for our trackable devices that would use a p2p network to calculate and tell the necessary participants the best route possible - stattistically and using intelligent algorithms - for a packet to be delivered telling the participants the next place to deliver it so that you receive a fraction of the donations made that day to the system according an evaluation made by the system of the effort and time provided by your service relatively to the other ones.

Everything that moves may for that matter use a bitcoin address to be tracked in space and time.

Imagine you could put a very cheap device on everything that moves, including yourself, that would track it puting its coordinates in space and time! and tell all other nodes all the time.

I am trying to think if we could use bitcoin, namely encoding such information into the blockchain for a very small cost, or if we would need some other protocol and network for that.

It would be like the sender putting a geolocation (gps coordinates and time) and the system helping your item all the time for it to get to its destination.

The the mobile app would use a p2p network of the sort of bitcoin or somehow using bitcoin, maybe, to calculate the best route possible according to the routine routes of the participants and devices.

The participants and devices would communicate with each other to make their location in space and time! public to all others all the time, and help each moving part of it reach the desired places with optimised routes.

I am still thinking about it all and there is a lot that is needed to be sorted out, but eventually we will have a very efficient way of posting things that will be a bit like geocaching and will be free from conventional post service.

We need it to optimise the reliability of their users and their queuing places and the probability that each item will get to the desired place at the required time.

Imagine how much liberty that would provide.

Soon, doctors will loose much of their power to control us forcing us to take drugs we really don't want to take and prevent us from taking the ones we really want.
I have suffered so much from such and pitty so much the "institutionalised" people that see this is possibly the greatest relief and liberation the world will see after bitcoin, that is coming to stay, for sure.

What I also have in mind is for people to cooperate to have their ids - that is willing to participate in such a public endeavour - protected by each other by proving they were in such and such place at such and such time, and not at any other, while providing for optimization in the way things shall reunite.

There is still a lot to think about it, but I definetly see light at the end of the tunnel.

Suposedelly, the system would compensate you in a very fair way for your participation and for making it all possible, and there would be a poll for donations that would then be redistributed in such a fair way, instead of other forms of payment that are not so willfully.

Doing what we could and found possible, we would get compensated in a fair enough way.

I call it postcoin so that we differentiate such project and ideas from bitcoin. A bit of housekeeping.
But eventually, we will be able to use bitcoin and its logic to extend to such endeavours and intents.

Hope you like it, or part of it

Please consider sending this message or your own version of it or of part of it to the right place everytime you take drugs, are forced to do so or think about sex. Grin

It will bring about fruits, making it blossom.

I think you need a new doctor

I can get you the name of a few good ones if you'd like

Your idea is interesting...I'm not sure it would be in need of the Bitcoin protocol and associated proof of work though...
