> A velocity currency: a digital currency that rewards spending, charges a fee on money left idle, and sends the fees back out as rewards and pay for work. This file names every page, section, question, claim, drawing and source of the site, each with its address: 16 pages, 57 sections, 19 questions, 14 hardest questions, 20 claims, 27 figures and 15 sources.

By Gavin Robert McGowen (https://interstellarblends.com). This site describes a patent application. It offers no token, security or investment.

Reading it as a machine: every page is plain HTML and reads without JavaScript. Each page opens on its scalpel, the sources it rests on follow in the same HTML, open on load under “The sources in full”, and the claims page shows each claim’s whole text, open on load. The plain words are one tap away, on Plain. Every page’s markdown twin (its index.md) prints all the page shows, the plain words included, and llms-full.txt is every page as one text.

## Every page as one text

- [llms-full.txt](https://velocityprosperity.com/llms-full.txt): all 16 pages as their twins print them, in one markdown file: 197 KB, 29,922 words.

## The 16 pages

- [The opening](https://velocityprosperity.com/index.md): A velocity currency: a digital currency that rewards spending, charges a fee on money left idle, and sends the fees back out as rewards and pay for work. The page: https://velocityprosperity.com/
- [Velocity](https://velocityprosperity.com/velocity/index.md): Spending is money times its speed. VP2.0 is built to raise the speed, not the quantity. The page: https://velocityprosperity.com/velocity/
- [What VP2.0 adds](https://velocityprosperity.com/what-it-adds/index.md): The stamp scrips of 1932 charged money as it sat or as it passed. VP2.0 also pays the spender, collects and tunes its own fees, and makes each added vote cost more. The page: https://velocityprosperity.com/what-it-adds/
- [A charge you can see](https://velocityprosperity.com/the-charge/index.md): Inflation charges every holder of money and sends no bill. VP2.0 states its charge in advance. The page: https://velocityprosperity.com/the-charge/
- [How it works](https://velocityprosperity.com/how-it-works/index.md): A purchase pays a fee, the fee funds rewards and work, and the worker spends the pay, which starts the loop again. The page: https://velocityprosperity.com/how-it-works/
- [The engine](https://velocityprosperity.com/engine/index.md): Moving or still, money in a wallet pays in; the fund pays out only above its floor; and what it pays out comes back around. The page: https://velocityprosperity.com/engine/
- [Where a fee goes](https://velocityprosperity.com/fees/index.md): About a dollar on a $100 purchase, split among rewards, operations and a fund that pays for work. The page: https://velocityprosperity.com/fees/
- [The control loop](https://velocityprosperity.com/control-loop/index.md): No central administrator sets the fee: the network measures itself, bounds each change, and switches together. The page: https://velocityprosperity.com/control-loop/

## The 19 questions this site answers

- [What is VP2.0?](https://velocityprosperity.com/): A velocity currency described in a patent application by Gavin Robert McGowen: spending earns a reward, an unspent balance pays a holding fee at a set interval, and a fund built from the fees pays for work and other approved initiatives.
- [Why does the speed of money matter?](https://velocityprosperity.com/velocity/): Because spending is money times its speed: Fisher defined velocity as a year’s “total money payments for goods” divided by “the average amount of money in circulation”, so the same money, spent more often, makes more payments.
- [What is a velocity currency?](https://velocityprosperity.com/velocity/): Money governed by its speed rather than its quantity: it charges money that sits, rewards money that moves, and tunes both within set limits by measuring how its money moves. VP2.0 is one: claim 2 is a network “configured to perform autonomous velocity-governing operations”.
- [How is VP2.0 different from stamp scrip?](https://velocityprosperity.com/what-it-adds/): Stamp scrip was charged with paper stamps at one price, sold by the town. VP2.0 deducts its holding fee itself, tunes its rates under an authorized transition rule (its transaction fee, in the example, between about 0.5% and 2%), pays a spending reward, and lets holders vote at a cost that rises with the square of their votes.
- [Who benefits from VP2.0?](https://velocityprosperity.com/what-it-adds/): In the design, the people who keep money moving: the spender earns a spending reward, the shop makes the sale, and a fund built from the fees pays eligible workers and societal initiatives. Money left idle pays a holding fee in proportion to the idle balance, and quadratic voting makes each added vote on a ballot cost more than the last.
- [How is a holding fee different from inflation?](https://velocityprosperity.com/the-charge/): A holding fee is stated in advance, with its interval, its base and its rate; inflation, in Keynes’s words, takes wealth “secretly and unobserved”.
- [How does money move through VP2.0?](https://velocityprosperity.com/how-it-works/): In an eight-step cycle: a purchase pays a fee, the fee feeds a rewards pool and an economic-stimulation fund, an idle balance pays a holding fee, the fund pays eligible workers, and they spend again.
- [Can the VP2.0 fund run out?](https://velocityprosperity.com/engine/): Not below its floor: before any payment, the treasury checks the balance the payment would leave, and pays only if it stays at or above a reserve floor set from its average payouts (claims 11 and 12). Its income is a share of money moving and money sitting, so it is fed either way.
- [Does the VP2.0 fund need outside money to keep paying out?](https://velocityprosperity.com/engine/): No. In the design the fund runs on its own fees: the fund sustains its reinvestment with “a transaction-derived fee rather than an externally administered subsidy”, in a cycle “operating without a central administrator or external subsidy”.
- [Where does a VP2.0 transaction fee go?](https://velocityprosperity.com/fees/): In the specification’s examples, to user rewards, system operations and an economic-stimulation fund (FIG. 4); or half to rewards and half to the fund, which sends a tenth to a liquidity assurance pool and the rest to societal initiatives (FIG. 26).
- [Who sets the fees in VP2.0?](https://velocityprosperity.com/control-loop/): The network itself, within set limits: it measures its own operation, proposes a paired update, bounds it by an authorized transition rule, and activates it on every node at the same ledger interval (claim 2); holders may also vote to set or adjust the rates.
- [How are decisions made in VP2.0?](https://velocityprosperity.com/governance/): By quadratic voting: casting a number of votes costs that number squared in tokens (claim 10); a proposal passes on a quorum with more yes votes than no; and the fund pays out only if its balance after the payment would stay at or above a reserve floor (claims 11 and 12).
- [How does VP2.0 guard against quantum computers and fraud?](https://velocityprosperity.com/safeguards/): Each parameter update carries a post-quantum signature (claim 5), each transaction is scored on weighted factors tied to its jurisdiction (claim 13), and private conditions are proved without revealing private data, with a nullifier against reuse (claim 17).
- [Has money with a holding fee been tried before?](https://velocityprosperity.com/lineage/): Yes: Wörgl, Austria, issued stamp scrip on August 1, 1932, with stamps at 1 percent a month, and its mayor reported the first wages paid returning to the town 20 times a month; Hawarden, Iowa, issued scrip stamped on each transfer in October 1932.
- [What do the VP2.0 drawings show?](https://velocityprosperity.com/drawings/): The operating environment (FIG. 1), the architecture (FIG. 3), one transaction and its fee (FIG. 4), the quadratic vote (FIG. 6), the split of a pool of fees (FIG. 26), the control cycle (FIG. 28) and more, each with the specification’s own description.
- [What does the VP2.0 application claim?](https://velocityprosperity.com/claims/): Twenty claims: a digital currency ecosystem (claim 1); a ledger network that governs its own velocity through a measured, bounded, authenticated control cycle (claim 2), with sixteen claims that add detail to it; and the same cycle as stored instructions (claim 19) and as a method (claim 20).
- [What are the main criticisms of VP2.0, and how does it answer them?](https://velocityprosperity.com/hard-questions/): That faster money raises prices, that people will move to other money, that governments banned stamp scrip, that an AI should not set fees, that quantum computers or cheating validators could break it, and that a reward bigger than the fee runs the fund dry. The application answers each: bounded rates with an inflation input and feedback, a reward for choosing it, compliance checks on every transaction, a clamp and rollback on the AI, recomputation by a quorum of nodes, post-quantum signatures, slashing, and rewards paid from a pool the fees fill, under a floor.
- [Is VP2.0 a coin I can buy?](https://velocityprosperity.com/questions/): No. VP2.0 is described in a patent application; this site offers no token, security or investment.
- [Where do the quotations on this site come from?](https://velocityprosperity.com/sources/): From the patent application itself, and from Fisher, Keynes, Smith, Gesell and the Federal Reserve, each read at its source and listed on this page with its address and the date it was read.

## The 14 hardest questions

- [Doesn’t faster money just raise prices?](https://velocityprosperity.com/hard-questions/#q1): (The economist) The equation cuts both ways, so VP2.0 keeps its rates inside set limits, reads an inflation measure, and measures each change before the next. Its rewards come from its fees.
- [Won’t people just move to other money?](https://velocityprosperity.com/hard-questions/#q2): (The economist) Keynes was warning about a charge on everyone’s money. VP2.0 charges no one’s dollars. It is a separate currency that pays its users to spend, and savings can be locked out of the fee.
- [Isn’t a holding fee a tax on ordinary savers?](https://velocityprosperity.com/hard-questions/#q3): (The economist) The fee is a share of the idle balance, so it falls hardest on the largest idle balances, and savings can be locked out of it. Inflation charges savers too, without a bill.
- [Didn’t governments shut stamp scrip down?](https://velocityprosperity.com/hard-questions/#q4): (The lawyer) So VP2.0 can run inside the system, not around it: through existing banking and payment platforms, with every transaction checked against its jurisdiction’s rules before it is routed, and records that can go to regulators.
- [Isn’t this an unregistered security?](https://velocityprosperity.com/hard-questions/#q5): (The lawyer) Nothing is sold here. This site describes an invention, and how any token built on it is treated depends on how it is offered, which is for counsel when that day comes.
- [What stops the AI from drifting or going rogue?](https://velocityprosperity.com/hard-questions/#q6): (The engineer) The AI proposes and the rules decide: the fee is clamped to its authorized range whatever the model says, a change that fails its authorized condition is thrown away, and the last committed settings can be restored.
- [How can thousands of nodes agree on one AI’s answer?](https://velocityprosperity.com/hard-questions/#q7): (The engineer) Nodes do not trust one machine’s answer: a quorum recomputes it and attests that it matches, and only then does every node switch together.
- [What if the data feeds fail?](https://velocityprosperity.com/hard-questions/#q8): (The engineer) When data goes missing, the network freezes the last good settings, stops issuing changes, and flags the problem for review.
- [Won’t quantum computers break it?](https://velocityprosperity.com/hard-questions/#q9): (The cryptographer) It signs with post-quantum schemes, a primary one and a conservative fallback, kept separate from the encryption that keeps traffic private.
- [What stops validators from cheating?](https://velocityprosperity.com/hard-questions/#q10): (The crypto expert) A validator caught signing two versions of the ledger has its stake slashed; a node that only looks odd is set aside until it clears itself; and the same private proof cannot be spent twice.
- [Doesn’t privacy mean no compliance?](https://velocityprosperity.com/hard-questions/#q11): (The crypto expert) Privacy here is proof, not secrecy: a private payment still proves it clears the sanctions lists, without naming the people.
- [Won’t insiders drain or capture the fund?](https://velocityprosperity.com/hard-questions/#q12): (The skeptic) The fund keeps a floor it cannot be drawn below, its use is shown openly, and each ballot’s votes get dearer the more it casts.
- [Aren’t the quotations cherry-picked?](https://velocityprosperity.com/hard-questions/#q13): (The scholar) Every quotation was read word for word at its source and is shown in full on each page, with the source’s address, so anyone can check it.
- [Doesn’t a reward bigger than the fee run the fund dry?](https://velocityprosperity.com/hard-questions/#q14): (The economist) The sample rates are examples. What binds is the rule: rewards come out of a pool the fees fill, and nothing is paid below the floor, so rewards can never outrun what has come in.
