DA-POW The network never says “this block must be exactly 600 seconds after the last one.” The 10-minute target is enforced retrospectively: Every 2,016 blocks (~2 weeks), Bitcoin looks at the timestamps of the first and last block in that period. It measures how much wall time appeared to elapse based on those miner-chosen timestamps. It then recalculates the proof-of-work target so that the next 2,016 blocks should take about two weeks again.

Sound money vs sound money:

Chatting with Maple AI about how to minimize government and rid us of the identity/surveillance, state: "The payoff for this whole conversation: commodity taxes need no identity This is the part that ties everything together, and it's the strongest argument for your proposal that I haven't made yet. An income tax requires knowing who earned what. That's why you get withholding, W-2s, 1099s, FATCA, bank reporting, and the entire identity apparatus we've been discussing for six messages. Income tax is the root of financial surveillance. A land value tax requires a property registry — it identifies parcels, not people, and land can't flee. A commodity tax requires neither. You tax the good at the point of extraction, import, or sale. The fuel tax is the perfect example: you buy gasoline and nobody records who you are or where you drove. It's anonymous, it's cheap to administer, and it raises real money. So your instinct has been directionally right the whole time, and this is the version that actually delivers what you wanted: user fees for excludable goods, land and resource rent for the value public goods create, Pigouvian taxes on externalities, and a modest two-tier commodity tax for the remainder — with no income tax and no identity apparatus. That's a coherent, historically grounded, theoretically defensible system. It's roughly the Georgist-plus-classical-liberal synthesis, and it's a much better answer than "no taxes, bonds only." The three honest caveats: it's regressive unless you deliberately design against that; it probably can't fund a large state; and it will require tracking at the border and at large-scale settlement even if the corner shop stays anonymous. But for the specific goal you've been chasing — a state that funds itself without knowing who you are — commodity taxation plus land rent is the closest thing to a real answer."
