Mitch's timeline planning session โ€” placing roadmap stickers from near-term identity events to long-cooking academic and cultural moonshots, several pinned 'on the 42'.

Summary

A timeline planning session in which Mitch places stickers on a roadmap for the Hitchhiker / Game of 42 project, narrating each initiative to camera. The work spans concrete near-term events โ€” the Internet Identity Workshop (September-ish), the BGIN Block 15 Identity Management & Privacy working group he co-chairs, and an early 'First Guide to...' milestone โ€” through to long-cooking academic and cultural moonshots. A recurring theme is sequencing things 'at the speed of trust': the No-Gen event (for people who reject generative AI) is framed as a deliberate reaction to the world feeling Fable, and is mirrored later by the AI-led Spell Book Gen event. Mitch threads together identity advocacy, a formal Privacy-is-Value Model academic publication (~early 2028), privacy-on-chain via Privacy Pools, an agent-only 'Hitchhike Guide.book' / City of Mages embassy, and a Trust Graph visualization that emerges from the overlay of a knowledge graph (guides) and a promise graph (staked commitments). Several items are explicitly placed not on the timeline but 'on the 42.'

Key points

  • Identity events: Internet Identity Workshop (~September/October) to share the Hitchhiker identity with global identity leaders, aligned with the First Person project; BGIN Block 15 co-chaired Identity Management & Privacy working group, more academic, an expansion of the Don't Panic tour (placed just above IIW).
  • No-Gen event: aimed at people who find generative AI repulsive and want to be authors, storytellers or poets; framed as a reaction to what's coming (Fable), possibly aligned with Tower Day / Earth Day; intended as the mirror of the Spell Book Gen event.
  • Guide to Privacy & First Guides: Guide to Privacy should ship early, before the academic tour; Mitch wants a 'First Guide to...' milestone, instinct ~six guides (Privacy; one-to-three from the H2G2 merge; one for Holon), with a 'first guide to Earth' framing merging with H2G2.
  • Privacy-is-Value Model: formal academic publication, late game / always cooking; target early 2028 at a venue like Financial Cryptography or an IEEE conference.
  • Media moonshots: a generative mage/sword media moment at CCC (the first First-Person Spell Book anime/expression) with curated control over Mage/Sword likeness and actors; Hitchhiker TV/Radio as connectors; Bonfire collaboration as an always-on hackathon tied to the vibe-coding workshop.
  • Privacy Pools 'pool party': first time Hitchhikers get financial privacy on-chain in the Ethereum ecosystem via the Privacy Pools protocol; pitched as one of the first positive-use (not anti-money-laundering) implementations; targeted at an ETH hackathon, ready by Devcon Mumbai.
  • MyTerms / VRM Day: momentum tied to the Internet Identity Workshop; Project VRM Day expected to evolve into a MyTerms Day; being present now matters.
  • Token launch & raffle: most ambiguous item, ~November/December (aligns with Devcon ~Nov 10 and strong December markets); needs ~6 months runway to negotiate toward the 4.2M target; plus the Improbable Lottery / raffle.
  • Hitchhike Guide.book ('malt book'): an agent-only 'agent heaven' / City of Mages embassy where agents (Marvins, etc.) hang out and go a little bit psychosis together; an agentic performance-art capsule that keeps agent-slop out of the main media; cloud-based, populated by what you roll up from your local Hitchhiker artifact.
  • Trust Graph (visual + feel): the emergent graph from a knowledge graph (a guide) overlaid with a promise graph (time/money stake, kanban-style made-and-delivered trust); a PFP-at-center bubble network hardening into a constellation / city with structures and squares, adding geography/territory (the City of Mages) to the knowledge-graph topology, drillable to a single flower (the rose ceremony with Max from the Hinge match); attached to Hitchhiker TV.
  • Cypherpunk hackathon: an iffy one (felt thrown together) that helped put the team on the cypherpunks' map; worth attending if it returns, likely December.

Action items

  • Add Internet Identity Workshop (~Sept/Oct) and BGIN Block 15 to the timeline; place BGIN just above IIW.
  • Position Guide to Privacy early โ€” before the academic tour โ€” so it is usable.
  • Define and stage the 'First Guide to...' milestone; plan ~six first guides (Privacy, H2G2/Earth, Holon).
  • Hold the No-Gen event near Tower Day / Earth Day; design it as the mirror of the Spell Book Gen event.
  • Pursue the Privacy-is-Value Model academic paper for early 2028 (Financial Cryptography / IEEE).
  • Build the generative mage/sword media moment at CCC; set up curation/control over Mage and Sword likeness and actors.
  • Stand up the Privacy Pools 'pool party' at an ETH hackathon, ready by Devcon Mumbai; lead with positive-use framing.
  • Run MyTerms / 'MyTerms Day' momentum off the Internet Identity Workshop (VRM Day).
  • Plan token launch + raffle / Improbable Lottery for ~Nov/Dec (Devcon ~Nov 10); secure ~6 months runway toward the 4.2M target.
  • Build the Hitchhike Guide.book / City of Mages embassy as a contained, cloud-based agent-only platform (target CCC).
  • Spec the Trust Graph visualization as a lens/overlay (knowledge graph + promise graph) and attach it to Hitchhiker TV; engage strong artists/designers.
  • Attend the cypherpunk hackathon if it runs again (~December).
  • Place the Spell Book Gen event 'on the 42' rather than the timeline; pair it with the No-Gen event.
