"I want to send my baby pictures right to my mom's computer, and that's it. I just want my computer to have the baby pictures, and then when her computer is ready, she can download them onto her computer."
"I don't want a middleman, or anybody searching through the pixels and all that. And it's not even a privacy thing; it's just from a sanity, direct connection perspective. I want to be in a computer world that acts like actual reality, not this really unfortunate thing that we've set up. So yeah, we have to rewrite it so we can reclaim that serving part of our computers."

Thank you to our friends who showed up for GROUNDWIRE ALPHA SMACKDOWN (Urbit Season 2 Pilot) last night!
It feels great at last to go public with our work.
Next week we will be gathering in the Shrub Garden in Urbit Gathertown to go over our work in more technical detail- this time with DIAGRAMS. 8pm ET (unless we change our mind).
Currently alpha.
Try not to fatfinger and yeet 1 whole bitcoin into it.
But if you do and anything goes wrong, you can reach us here, on Trill, GitHub, Tlon in ~hodlyr-lorfeb/groundwire or DM ~tondes-sitrym, and at Feedback welcome.

Groundwire alpha is live.
It's a personal server where your identity is anchored to a Bitcoin UTXO, your wallet runs locally, and AI agents can operate your node directly through MCP.
No accounts. No cloud. No custodians.
