This will be a brief update.
PINT Network TLD pint.network was a convenient medium of dissemination in the first year, yet it is as centralized as a medium can be, and we won't be using it moving forward.
Beyond today, Dec 10, 2022, the TLD pint.network will cease to be a medium of PINT Network dissemination, as we relinquish its control to domain authorities. As defined in the genesis publication, the only true identifier of PINT Network spirit is the spirit address, and associated decentralized names. More details can be found within genesis publication.
As of now, the past publications have been replicated by Patron#1 and persisted on arweave, while further copies may also be created. Current copies are cataloged at https://mirror.xyz/0x04F264eCb7ea1411726236675E88F04DC6421164 and signed by the address 0x04F264eCb7ea1411726236675E88F04DC6421164, which is the ownership of Patron#1.
Better and improved forms of communication and the way forward will be published by Patron#1 and signed one way or another by their address 0x04F264eCb7ea1411726236675E88F04DC6421164.
Quoting from PINT Network: Self-dilemma
All things considered, The PINT Network Spirit, hereby declares its conciever, earlier recognized Patron#1, as its custodian and the sole orator and operator of all affairs of PINT Network, in their entirety. This grant may subsequently allow Patron#1 to construct initial governance and put the spirit inside it.
In light of above, Patron#1 can prove their patronage by proving the possession of PINT Network Spirit Address (0x591217DCB7F80d2898AEbf83De29Fcf9E603ACaa), until such time when they relinquish the possession to some mode of governance.
In the event of inaccessibility of archives of past texts and this text at archive.org and other sources, Patron#1 may reproduce the texts, and use the spirit address based provability mechanism or a derivative under the governance of such time to declare the reproduction as valid.
Note that these are still guidelines and being authored by Patron#1 themselves, they highlight principles and facts which form the baseline logical basis of provability and authorship around texts of PINT Network Spirit, but most of it is yet to be organized by Patron#1.
