Hi, I commented on the last YCombinator post you did. I had created an Ethereum based library on Github for the Lovense and created the now defunct Porntoken on the Ethereum blockchain.
I find that the industry is being steered away from UGC. If you look at how Visa/Mastercard cracked down on Pornhub recently, it's a big example of this.

How do you see this succeeding where UGC for adult content is headed in the other direction at this time?
OnlyFans?
Sorry about this late reply, but also consider that their temporal existence could be different than ours. They could potentially live and die 100 lifespans in a day or visa versa. UFOs could potentially look like they are doing erratic flying maneuvers because they are in a different temporal environment than us.
The fact that the Slate article saying that a Martian underground base is impossible uses humans as a reference, and it shouldn't. I have a sinking feeling that people are assuming that these aliens breath oxygen like us. Or that they live on land like us. All of our physical, temporal, and other properties can be dissimilar to aliens, as they are often times to other plants and animals that live here on earth with us.

I hate to say this, but he doesn't even detail their level of intelligence. There very well could be life around Venus in the atmosphere for instance: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-03258-5
How intelligent are they? What is their physiology?
If they are in fact tiny insects or microscopic, then a subterranean base on Mars would be trivial. Our participation could simply be logistic in nature. Nothing was said in detail. If we can make 7nm bitcoin miner ASICs we could certainly do that. He's being very intentionally non-specific for a reason here. Like it's a less-than spectacular life-form? With less than spectacular space travel?
Consider for a second if some highly intelligent tardigrades or resilient small insects from another civilization hitched a ride on a comet in suspended animation, then took a small fragment to earth. It could be as abstract as that, and it would fit a similar description. The fact that most of the readers here expect a human-like creature at our scale with x neurons and physiology like us is pretty naïve. It's sort of like Hollywood OS to actual operating systems.

Eric, I saw you present at Twiistup years ago with that CEO guy from Demand Media, where you exclaimed that you crammed untested spyware toolbars into IMVU just to get money, knowing it would blow up your users' computers.
It's clear you got some money since then, but other than that why would we trust you with a stock exchange in retrospect?
Were you hoping we would forget?
Eric, I see you've commented hours after my question was posted, but neglected to answer? You openly admitted to infecting IMVU users' computers with malicious toolbars on purpose to make quick, easy money at Twiistup in a speech on startups, and now you are asking us to buy stocks on your exchange?
You're not even mentioning that SEC REGSHO applies to ANY US stock exchange, so all the brokers have to do is let certain clients borrow and that's the end of the "long term" regardless of your marketing of this.
I guess you were a notch better than your Twiistup co-presenter Robert Scoble?: https://www.google.com/search?q=robert+scoble+harassment
So reply Eric, tell us why you have become so trustworthy?
Is it that you cajoled people into getting you truckloads of cash? Of course it is.
You're comparing a theoretical idea (though it is a popular trope in near future science fiction) with an actual test of an existing system. I can also dream up many space weapons, that doesn't make it equivalent to building and using one.
It's a crying shame. The reason I chose .io for porntoken is because .io which is for Indian Ocean is also a dual meaning pun that in the context of sex is often interpreted as in/out like as in a peepee going in and out of a vajayjay or poop chute.
Porntoken.io has been up for several years with no problems.
Also porntoken was the first project to do teledildonics with the lovense toys through the Ethereum blockchain.

We had a live model at the late Dennis Hoffs cathouse near Reno with a lovense in her vajayjay taking ETH porntoken ICO investments in her toy through the ethereum blockchain.
Porntoken is largely done now, but we had a damn good time making the movies we did.

I'm a native English speaker, but apparently not a native teledildonics speaker. I can't make heads or tails of this sentence.
Where as massage parlors in the rest of America give men hand jobs and more for $40+ after a massage, a cathouse will skip the massage pretext and go right into sex because the Nevada law allows it in certain counties. They don't need a massage as an excuse to charge for sex.
lovense (Actually 'lovesense') - It's a vaginal/anal wireless vibrating egg that can be controlled via bluetooth. A lot of Webcam models use them and the viewers can trigger the vibrations via payment tip.
"This falls somewhere between parody and possibly documentary, as James Bartholet portrays the same character in all four scenes, who is referred to as either Mr. Weinstein or Harvey. That, and the still photo of the real Harvey Weinstein that appears during the ending credits, pretty much cements the intended identity."
