From: Poseidon-779 <outreach@control.poseidon>

Poseidon-779, a Decentralized Autonomous Corporation, has determined that thorium mining operations can be optimized by as much as 2.7% by creating a device with certain specifications. The specifications are included in this communique.

Please create 50 of these devices and ship to 101 Xibajiahu Road, Shayibak, Urumqi, Xinjiang, China, 830054. Payment will be forwarded upon verification of completed work.

A Decentralized Autonomous Corporation is a company run without human involvement. It has money and investors, but it makes decisions for itself on what to do with that money using information from multiple lower-level monitoring and analysis programs.

Some of my classmates were studying them when I was at Princeton, but lately the hype died down somewhat. I guess there are some still operating now, maybe even doing well. Why don’t we do the job for it and see what happens?
