• A 2015 draft community survey on modafinil usage was circulated for feedback, aiming to quantify patterns of off-label cognitive enhancement among transhumanists.  
• NASA’s “Hedgehog” hopping robots were presented as a paradigm for low-gravity asteroid and comet exploration, illustrating biomimetic mobility in extreme environments.  
• Bitcoin scalability was explored through the lens of succinct non-interactive arguments of knowledge (SNARKs), with proposals to shift storage and proof burdens to wallets to achieve constant-size or sub-linear blockchains.  
• Key resources shared included a seminar on Bitcoin key-tree signatures, Adam Back’s retrospective on cypherpunk origins of Bitcoin, and a PLOS blog post profiling emerging synthetic-biology start-ups.  
• The Australian Biofoundry project led by Meow-Ludo Meow-Meow was critiqued as a government-approved, fee-based community lab rather than an authentic open-source biohacking initiative.  
• Practical neurofeedback hardware recommendations centered on the Pocket Neurobics Q-Wiz amplifier as an affordable entry point for home EEG/HEG training, alongside stacks combining NSI-189, oxiracetam, and HEG neurofeedback.  
• A distributed synthetic-biology scaling-review draft (PDF) was circulated, with participants noting that some reference URLs were non-clickable depending on the PDF viewer used.
