In communicating with edX recently about possible World Univ & Sch membership with edX, we've put the conversation about the Pi digital currency and cryptocurrencies in general on hold for the foreseeable future.

Hi Tanya (and Larry),

 Thanks again for the "Pi" digital currency heads' up, and the "Mine Pi" app information.

 It still doesn't work on my Android smart phone fully, but last night the "Mine Pi" App newly opened on its own on my smart phone with one or two message indicators with Chinese or Asian names, but then the App couldn't open the next web link (which has happened before when I've tried 'driving' the App). Perhaps it's the welcome security architecture on Android.

 I'm glad though the 'Mine Pi' App is 'off the shelf' (eg in Google Play Store) and nearly 'there' and has the lightning button coded in, so one can mine this digital cryptocurrency with algorithms. Am seeking at WUaS to explore UBI experiments for all 7.5 billion people (each a new kind of Wikidata PIN# in its ~300 languages) on the planet eventually to alleviate poverty - as well as to distribute a single cryptocurrency backed by some number of ~200 countries' central banks (probably via regulation) and coming after the dollar and the euro (in 19 out of 28 EU countries) currencies.

 Tanya, as you may have noticed in the WUaS Agenda and Minutes, WUaS is seeking to collaborate with edX for MIT OCW into MITx on EdX courses, so am hoping doable 'Finance Theory' and '6 Sigma ..." toolkit courses will appear in the autumn in new format. Perhaps with the completion these, we can begin to think through how your graduation will work for a free-to-student's WUaS Bachelor's degree in Business (even as WUaS develops with licensing and potentially accreditation).

 Will keep you posted with this Friendly progress ...

 Sincerely,
Scott

Hi Tanya, (Anant and Larry - greetings, Anant!)

Thanks for your email and with regards to your "If we are in need of me finishing for accreditation I need Finance Theory and Introduction To Lean Six Sigma" at MIT OCW-centric World Univ & Sch, for a free-to-students' online Bachelor's degree as an undergraduate Business major per our Course Catalog - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1VRHhXYsk-V9lvSh5onaU2hnEhwoapSN7HyBK1P09LIk/edit?usp=sharing from http://worlduniversityandschool.org/ .  

Anant, Tanya, is in World Univ & Sch's very first matriculating undergraduate class (albeit not yet licensing, or accrediting), and she is seeking to finish 2 courses for her degree. The MIT OCW for one of these courses didn't work out for her. So I'm including you in this email, as WUaS seeks to begin first licensing with the state of California's BPPE (and then potentially to accredit with WASC senior). How might WUaS and edX explore collaboration? 

Tanya: I just found on this MIT OCW into MITx page - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mitx-related-courseware/ - the following 

"15.415.1x Foundations of Modern Finance I" 

Then, not finding any MIT OCW / MITx Intro to Lean Six Sigma COURSES, I found in edX this:

"Six Sigma and Lean: Quantitative Tools for Quality and Productivity"

Am not sure about what you might need to know beforehand (15.415 says it's advanced, and Six Sigma doesn't list any pre-reqs, but the course lasts for 6 months)

Then I found in MIT OCW: 

Finance Theory I

Introduction to Lean Six Sigma Methods

So, let me communicate with Larry, and look into 

A) collaborating with edX for MIT OCW > MITx  ... and with regards, too, to 

B i) WUaS licensing with CA's BPPE, then 
B ii) accreditation (with WASC senior?) ... 

C) finding some further possible edX MIT OCW courses relating to the 2 courses for you to graduate with, possibly after WUaS begins accreditation ... (which would increase the value of your Bachelor's degree significantly). 

It could be the autumn when you begin classes again, re the above ... or you might be able (and WUaS is still seeking the initial ~5,000 dollars to begin licensing, as well as annual licensing and accreditation fees after this).  

Please let me/us know what you think about these possibilities, Tanya, and how you might like to proceed (in conversation, if that's helpful). 

(Anant, how might we best communicate about some of this as well? WUaS is seeking to matriculate our 2nd undergraduate class in English in the autumn of 2020, and for students from all ~200 countries, for a 4 year degree - and hopefully with very high retention rates. WUaS is seeking 500-2000 students, as WUaS begins the licensing and accreditation process from California. In what ways could WUaS collaborate with edX in these regards as well. Larry Viehland, above, is the chair of the WUaS Board, and MIT alumnus too!).

Thank you! And looking forward to communicating further about all of this. 

Best, Scott

Hi Tanya (and Larry), 

I just went through a number of steps of downloading and installing "Pi Network" to see how the CryptoCurrency 'Pi' works - which you can 'mine' - but after giving the App my phone number and getting a verification code, which I then entered, I received a "Webpage not available" page/message, with the htttps://app-cdn.minepi.com/auth#access_token=31 ..long_code_follows.... URL and no further ability to do anything with mining Pi, although the Application is open in my Samsung Galaxy S3 Android smartphone. 

I may contact the 3 people here  - https://minepi.com/team - with this information too, adding World Univ & Sch's plans for coding for 7.5 billion people each a Wikidata Q-item number, for Universal Basic Income UBI EXPERIMENTS, and to explore distributing a SINGLE cryptocurrency with blockchain, backed somehow by some number of ~200 countries' central banks, (am thinking the 19 out of 28 Eurozone countries in the EU, as one example) ... so post-Euro, (post other currencies), and post US dollar, which is already the de facto international currency as I understand this.

Found this online about the Pi currency. And it probably isn't easy to get on this list - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cryptocurrencies - and Pi is not on it either. 
Were you successful in installing the 'Pi Network' and hitting the 'lightning' button to mine Pi, Tanya? Do you own a bit of Pi now? :)

Thanks again for letting me know about Pi ... brainstorming-wise ... https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/09/aquatic-plant-mine-pi-from-faqs-what-is.html :)

Cheers, Scott

So the Pi application works somewhat up to a certain stage ... and it may have first come out in March 2019 . Just shared this email with the Pi people: 

Dear Nicolas, Chengdiao, and Vincent (https://minepi.com/#contact), 

A student, 'TanyaTomato', in CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School's first undergraduate class just shared "Mine Pi" with me, which I tried unsuccessfully to get operational. I'm writing to come into conversation with you about exploring planning with the Pi Network for Universal Basic Income EXPERIMENTS to distribute a SINGLE cryptocurrency to people in some number of ~200 countries, and in their languages.

Hi Tanya,

Thanks so much for your Mine Pi invitation to me - https://youtu.be/MsOaC61cR3U . And how are you? And where are you with World University and School coursework toward your Bachelor degree? As you may have noticed in the WUaS Agenda & News, WUaS is seeking funding for CA's BPPE for licensing. It would be great to explore doing this through a cryptocurrency even, but I don't think either the state of California's BPPE or WUaS is ready for this. And how did you learn of Mine Pi?

That said, and per WUaS Agenda and News re WUaS seeking to facilitate a single digital currency via UBI experiments, this Mine Pi cryptocurrency is interesting with its Stanford PhD and California origins, and re UBIcs.org (UBI catalyst systems . org) which I just learned of too - for infrastructure and as idea re distribution of single cryptocurrency via UBI.
I'd like to learn more about MINE Pi. Brainstorming-wise, building on the state of California's Stockton Basic Income experiment ($500/month over 18 months to 130 adults - with studying academically its effects) - https://amp.sacbee.com/news/local/article226280230.html & https://time.com/5667715/stockton-california-universal-basic-income/ (picture of bank card re distribution), in what ways could WUaS collaborate with Mine Pi and the state of California to make this become a single cryptocurrency in a large number or percentage of 200 countries' languages (backed by their central banks, a little like the 19/28 Eurozone countries & their central banks in Brussels) and through universal basic income experiments?

Would Stockton UBI experiment recipients be able to 'mine' a cryptocurrency on their smartphone like MAKING A WITHDRAWAL from a bank? Am curious what mining entails in Mine Pi - and also for computer scientists' algorithm-wise. And what it could mean for Stockton residents - IF they had smart phones, and could get their CA basic income from the state of CA in Sacramento (legally too - like central bank approval / authority) that way.
I may explore teaching about both this Mine Pi as example of cryptocurrency, as well as Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning newly in my "Society, Information Technology, and the Global University" - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/InfoTechNetworkSocGlobalUniv.html - next year. 

I'll seek to bring up Mine Pi per the WUaS Agenda tomorrow - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/09/xerochrysum-bracteatum-agenda-news-for.html.

Thanks so much, Tanya, and will check it out further with your name code,
Scott
