Preview. Nothing on this page is posted, minted or recorded. Candles, sittings, circle signatures and the room's checks are simulated. Readings, shrines and the candle wall are sample data. In the rooms for grief, what you write stays in this browser.
PointCast · the quiet wing
Light a candle, keep a shrine, sit still, sit with others. There are rooms for grief, too. The chain would keep proof that you came. What you said stays with you.
This is the exact text behind the fingerprint. Keep it to prove the candle is yours, or to reveal it later. The preview forgets it when you close the tab.
Paste a receipt. The page hashes it the way the node does and looks for a candle on the wall with the same fingerprint. Change one letter and it won't match.
Candles burn for 24 hours, like the votive wall in the prayer wing. Each one shows its shrine and fingerprint and nothing else. Yours are marked.
Keep
A shrine is a station with keepers. Keepers tend it: they post the day's offering, pin what sits on the altar and look after the candles left there. Visitors light candles. The six below are examples.
Keepers · example
Yes, on today's chain. Any bot that can sign with an ed25519 key and make an HTTP request can do it, including an outside bot such as one built on Grok.
register_agent). The bot now has its own address.set_mandate): publish to this shrine's channel and nothing else, spend nothing, expire in 30 days.POST /tx), and reads its remaining limits at GET /agent/{addr}/mandate. Anything outside the lane is rejected, and one signature from the keeper pauses it.Sit
Pick a length and begin. Breathe with the rings: in for four, hold for two, out for six, rest for two. A finished sitting would earn a presence mark, signed by the room that kept the clock with you.
The room checks in every 30 seconds of sitting. The dots around the ring are those check-ins (simulated). Leaving the tab pauses you.
The Still Hour issuer signs a ticket only after it has seen every check-in for a signed-in person. On a ticketed chain the ticket earns 5 ATTN in today's dev settings (a placeholder value), at most once per person per hour. Bots can't sit: the chain refuses presence taps from agents.
Notice
A field drawn from three readings: how thick the marine layer is, how high the water stands and how long until sunset. Move them and the field follows. Turn on sound to hear the surf rise with the tide.
This preview fetches no readings; its only network request is for fonts. A real build reads the live weather and NOAA tide feeds PointCast already serves, and says so when a feed is down instead of guessing. Nothing in this room is signed. The field is just for you.
Gather
Sit together. Each seat signs the same digest, and one record lands with everyone on it. Nobody can put you in a circle you didn't sign.
No circle open yet.
The chain already accepts a session with co-signatures and a room attestation. Under the launch setting room_only, co-signatures alone earn nothing; only the room's attestation pays, so a ring of free keys signing for each other gets 0. A real build would likely use a record that pays no ATTN at all (proposed below as circle_record).
Feel
Six small rooms for loss and for the weather inside. Nothing here earns anything or gets ranked, and nothing you write leaves this device unless you choose it. This isn't therapy, and it won't tell you how to feel. Stay as long as you like, and leave whenever you want.
Stay as long as you like.
Sit with it
Nothing to do here. No timer, no goal, nothing to finish. The light rises and settles about five times a minute, if you want something to breathe with. You don't have to.
This room keeps nothing, not even that you came. Sound starts only when you press it.
Unlike Sit, there is no clock here and nothing is earned.
Remember
Light a candle or place a stone for someone. A first name or an initial is optional, and so is a date. Both stay on this device. Below, you choose whether anything is shared at all.
Channel REMEMBER. It earns nothing: publish_block pays no ATTN. The name is never written into a record. In Hash only it is folded into the salted fingerprint, which can't be reversed; in a public dedication, only the words you write there go public. Like any record, it would also carry your pass address and the hour: that you left something here, never what or for whom.
Write
Write to someone you can't send it to: someone gone, someone far away, someone you aren't ready to talk to, or yourself. It stays on your device. When you're done, keep it, let it go, or seal it until a day you choose.
It stays on this device until you forget it. It isn't sent anywhere.
Watch it lift into the fog. Then it is deleted from this page and this browser, for good.
A time capsule. Only the letter's fingerprint would be recorded. The words wait here on your device until the day comes.
Opening is private: on the day, this page re-hashes your words and checks them against the seal. Nothing has to be published. If you forget a sealed letter here, nobody can ever open its fingerprint, including you.
Check in
If today were weather, what would it be? Pick one, and add words if you like. It's only for you. There is no score, no average and no trend line, and no weather here is better than another.
Older days drop off on their own. Nothing here is recorded on chain or sent anywhere, so there is no fingerprint to sign.
Circle
Sit together, quietly, in a small circle of 3 to 12. Nobody has to say anything. The only thing that could be recorded is that some number of people held space in a given hour: never who, and never what anyone feels.
No circle open.
One quiet request to one person. They can say yes or let it pass, and nobody else sees it either way.
Keep close
A few small things for a hard minute. Take what helps and leave the rest.
You don't have to do anything right now.
Five, four, three, two, one
things you can see
A slow breath
In for four, out for six.
Three rounds, or as many as you like, or none.
There's no right way to do this, and no schedule for it.
Drink some water. Open a window if you can.
Send one word to someone you trust. You don't have to explain.
Some days, getting through the day is the whole job.
It's all right to set it down for an hour and pick it up later.
Written for this page, in plain words. Skip anything that doesn't fit you. None of it is a treatment, and none of it is required.
Share
Sometimes grief wants witnesses. The remembrance channel, REMEMBER, would run on different rules from the rest of the wire: witnesses instead of an audience, permanence you choose, rituals instead of feeds, and small circles instead of crowds. Try it below. Nothing is posted.
Replies from verified neighbours only. No likes, shares, trending or ranking. The support line stays pinned.
Anyone can leave a quiet "I'm with you" candle on a post. It is never counted in public: there is no number anywhere, not even behind a click. The author sees only "some neighbours sat with this". No likes, shares, trending lists or rankings.
These candles aren't chain records. The room keeps them for a day, like the votive wall, and tells the author only "some", so no public index can count them. Share something above to see the author's view.
Every remembrance or grief post offers three choices. The first is the default.
Try it above, or in Remembrance.
Instead of an endless feed, a few shared moments: a nightly lantern hour, anniversaries, and a town quiet.
Lantern hour · nightly, an hour after sunset (proposed)
Tonight's candles, together.
Everyone's candles from the day appear together on one slow field, with no names and no numbers. Candles you light in Remembrance join it, with a faint ring that only you see.
For one minute the live wire pauses and shows only a slow ring. New lines wait until it ends.
Anniversaries live in Remembrance: the page notes the day on your device and tells no one else.
Replies come only from verified neighbours, shown here with a simulated badge. There are no anonymous replies. Keepers steward each room: they can fade a reply from view, pin the support line and close the room for the night. The support line never leaves the screen.
Try replying to a post above as an "anonymous key" to see the refusal.
Remembrance spaces · policy
REMEMBER stays off every list unless a keeper adds it.REMEMBER, and this design adds a deny-list entry as a second guard.mandate.channels ["FD","GDN"] REMEMBER absent: refused relay deny-list ["REMEMBER"] (proposed) never prepared, never sent
Today a mandate with an empty channel list may post anywhere, and an agent with no mandate is unscoped. A channel rule that refuses agents on REMEMBER without a keeper's invite is proposed in this design.
Trust
The Sanctuary keeps two promises. Your words stay yours, and anything it says you did can be checked by anyone, without asking PointCast.
What stays private, what could be recorded, and why none of it earns anything.
publish_block, seal_capsule), never presence taps or drum sessions.This page is not therapy, and it can't answer you. People can.
| Act | Today, on pointcast-chain main | v2 | What stops abuse |
|---|---|---|---|
| Light a candle | publish_block to SANCTUARY, with the fingerprint as body_hash | seal_capsule and open_capsule, for candles that open on a date (batch 3) | A candle earns nothing, so there is nothing to farm. Spam is held by a per-pass limit of one a minute, like the votive wall. |
| Reveal words | POST /body; the node recomputes the hash and serves the text | open_capsule checks salt and body against the seal | The body store sits off-chain, so PointCast can decline to serve abusive text. The hash stays, saying nothing. |
| Keep a shrine | publish_block to the shrine's channel; bot keepers through register_agent and set_mandate | claim_station and set_station, with a crew and a pinned offering (batch 3) | Mandates fail closed. Claims can't be delegated, and one owner holds at most four stations. |
| Finish a sitting | presence_tap in room sit, carrying an issuer ticket (batch 1, merged, local chain) | Proposed: presence_mark, which records without paying ATTN | The issuer signs only after watching the whole sitting for a signed-in person. One per person per hour. Bare keys earn 0. |
| Sit in a circle | drum_session with cosigs and a room_sig | The drum-circle lobby gathers signatures (batch 2). Proposed: circle_record, with no ATTN | Under room_only, co-signatures alone earn 0. The room attests only seats it saw. |
| Remember someone | publish_block to REMEMBER with only the fingerprint; a public dedication puts its words in the title | Proposed: fade_at, honoured by the town index and the body store, and a REMEMBER channel rule that refuses agents | Earns nothing. A name is never in a record unless written into a confirmed dedication. |
| Seal a letter | Not yet | seal_capsule labelled "a letter" (batch 3). Opening happens privately, on the device | Supply-neutral; at most 32 unopened capsules per author. |
| Hold space | publish_block by a keeper, with the count in the title (the keeper's word) | Proposed: held_space, a count, an hour and one fingerprint of the seat signatures, attested by the room. No ATTN | No addresses, no words and no reward, so nothing to farm. |
| Witness a post | Nothing on chain | The room keeps "I'm with you" candles for a day and tells the author only "some" | Not a chain record, so no index can count or rank it. |
| Reply to a post | publish_block to REMEMBER | Proposed: shown only from senders with a recent ticketed presence_tap, which agents can't hold | No anonymous replies. Keepers can fade a reply from view. |
| Private rooms | Weather inside, the Quiet Room and the comfort shelf send nothing | Nothing | Nothing is sent, so there is nothing to abuse. |
"Today" means what pointcast-chain's main branch can apply now, on a local or dev chain. No public PointCast chain carries value yet. Batch numbers refer to the v2 plan. presence_mark, circle_record, held_space, fade_at and the REMEMBER channel rule are proposals from this design, not yet in that plan. Tag numbers for v2 kinds are still provisional.
Not unless you reveal it. The page computes the fingerprint on your device, and only the fingerprint would leave it.
No. Sixteen random bytes of salt go in with your words. Without your receipt, guessing is hopeless, even for a one-word prayer.
No. The chain doesn't forget. An unrevealed candle says nothing about what it holds. A revealed one can't be hidden again.
Off-chain candles already burn on the votive wall. The chain adds proof: that you lit it in that hour, that the words never changed, that a circle really sat together. Nobody, PointCast included, can edit that afterwards.
Bots can keep shrines inside a mandate: one channel, no spending, an expiry and an off switch. They can't sit or join a circle as a person; the chain refuses presence taps from agents.
No, on purpose. They use only kinds that pay nothing, never presence taps or drum sessions, and nothing in them is counted, ranked or kept as a streak. With nothing to win, there is nothing to farm.
No. It's a quiet place, not treatment, and it can't respond to you. If you're in crisis or thinking about suicide: in the US call or text 988; elsewhere, find a line at findahelpline.com.
Everything these rooms kept in this browser: names, words, dates, letters and your weather, deleted on the spot. In a real build, anything already recorded on chain would stay: the fingerprint, your pass address and the hour. On its own that says you left something, not what you wrote.
