heropunch used to be a company. i co-founded it with a some friends a few years back. it started off with this really ambitious idea that we called "Infinite Automata" that heropunch was supposed to be an instance of.

we made some decent money, but the org kind of fell apart after a year or so. pretty good (painful) learning experience.
after everything fell apart i thought i'd try it again from a different angle. i still agree with a lot of the ideas in the IA whitepaper, but this time around i'm starting by looking at the nuts and bolts that we need too make an independent society: resource management, communication, manufacturing, &c.
if we can make an open source blueprint for running your own homebrew autonomous life using renewable energy and salvaged parts, then (maybe) we'll have the right kind of community to start building an independent #solarpunk society.
