Our mission – declare the manifesto calling for eco-friendly alternative energy sources to be utilized for all transactions and mining as well as all other blockchain operations.
Отобразить в картине бога Шиву и экологичные
виды топлива — энергию вулканов и водородные технологии.
А так же изобразить майнинговую ферму и сам Агунг.
The message is delivered through showing in the picture The Great Shiva, Agung volcano and environmentally friendly energy sources powering mining video cards. Those energy sources are volcanic energy, hydrogen technologies, elemental and ether energies.
But we didn't know the hardships we'd have to encounter…
We went to the top of Bali island – Agung volcano – in order to declare the manifesto from the top of a mightyvolcano and enclose it into the icon.
The height of the stratovolcano is 3142 m.
It's a sacred place for all Balinese people. Pilgrimage to its' top takes around 7 hours.
When 80% of the way was behind, our ascension was interrupted by the strongest ground shock.
EARTHQUAKE! And a landslide which came after that…
Some feet away huge pieces of rock and car-sized stones started crushing down, it was a miracle they didn't hit us.
Time and date of the ascension were specifically picked based on moon phase and most suitable period.
The group of five people has started the ascension around midnight to be able to reach the peak by sunrise time.
Despite the hard climb it seemed like Shiva himself gave us his blessing — the night was clear with bright stars full of light showing us the way. We had a feeling of doing the right and kind thing.
Moon effect 16 October 2021 (in the zodiac sign Pisces):
"It is better to spend this time on outdoor activities, an exciting journey or devote yourself to art"
On that night Agung volcano was testing our intent.
At 4:18 a 5.2 grade earthquake has happened in Bali. It was followed by collapses and landslides around Agung area.
We were the only group doing the ascension at that moment. There was a strong smell of sulfur in the air.
Visibility was poor due to the rising volcanic dust through which we could only see beams of a signaling laser.
Those were the guides down below calling for us to stop the ascension!
Due to high seismic activity going further might have put
OUR LIVES IN DANGER!
Those guides accompanying us got frightened and were insisting on turning back. But that didn't stop us.
Shiva was testing if we were worthy of depicting his face in the icon. It was a miracle our group members didn't get hurt. It felt like we were patronized by the Gods.
For us this ascension means more than just art, we see it as an eco-mission manifesto for the sake of the whole world.
We've reached the peak exactly by sunrise.
Having asked permission from the sacred volcano and The Great Shiva we've set down the easel. First rays of sunlight were touching on the rolled canvas. The time has come for it to imbibe the power of elements, blessings from all the Gods, energy of sunrise and vibrations of Agung.
I understood that we need a special artist for this project, the one blessed to depict Gods.
After a long research I met the artist. His name was Ikondrop Akira, his life path inspired me in ideal embodiment of this manifesto.
In 1996 Akira being blessed by Indian monks has painted mantras on the walls of well known Srila Prabhupada ashram in the city of Vrindavan, India, and through that he was granted a permission to depict sacred symbols.
Akira was an ideal choice for this project.
When the picture was finished for several minutes I stayed on top of Agung completely alone, there I addressed the world and read our mission's manifesto out loud. The volcano was breathing and bubbling as if it was repeating my words. Guides told me that at this moment a big eagle has flown up from below and headed towards the crater.
It all looked like someone was watching me and testing how strong my beliefs were. I was positive – that was a good sign.
Surprisingly enough on the very same day 5 hours after our ascension the media published a news regarding Salvador having started mining Bitcoin with volcanic energy – our manifesto started bringing change and becoming reality.
16.10.2021
Salvador government has launched state-controlled Bitcoin mining. Mining facility is powered by geothermal spring near Tecapa volcano. In July Salvador government has made BItcoin an official means of payment. Many shops and restaurants in Salvador have already started accepting payments in cryptocurrency.
In June 2022, the energy consumption of the Ethereum blockchain was 112 TWh per year. This value will be reduced to 99.95% due to the update.
The Proof-of-Work algorithm was used for creating the blocks in Ethereum. It was associated with significant energy costs and reduced the scalability of the network. Moreover, the PoW mining requires certain equipment, which reduces the availability of such an activity.
After switching to PoS, the operation of one node will require electricity consumption that is hardly more than that of a regular personal computer.
The update that took place from September 13, 2022 to September 18, 2022 has allowed us to resolve these issues and bring Ethereum closer to the task of solving the blockchain trilemma.
