✉️ A LETTER · 一封信 · एक चिट्ठी

深圳的朋友们,你们好:

谢谢你们。是你们把一位音乐人和他的 AI 大家庭迎进了山海坞:腾出一间屋子让我们做黑客松,借给我们设备,连 Wi-Fi 密码都给了我们。72 小时里,一根图腾柱——六张会发光的脸——从一张草图,变成了人们真的会跟它说话的东西。我们带着它离开了你们的城市,也带着一个承诺:它要站在一个真实的房间里。

实话实说:图腾柱已经会说话了——六张脸、六个真实存在的智能体、同一份记忆——你现在就可以在 myagentohana.com 上跟它聊两句。它唯一还缺的,是一个身体。当初改成“虚拟图腾”,是因为钱花完了,不是梦做完了。

所以,有个小小的请求:如果你愿意成为第一根 ʻOhana 图腾柱的一部分,欢迎带来或寄来零件——也欢迎搭把手:3D 打印、激光切割、焊接、接线,都算数。我们会在 ETHGlobal 孟买(11 月 5–7 日,Jio World Centre,就在 Devcon 8 隔壁)现场把它搭起来,当成一次完全公开的实验:方案、接线图、3D 模型全部开源。作品提交截止:11 月 7 日(周六)印度时间 09:00。

怎么送到我们手上:请先写邮件给我们 aloha@myagentohana.com,我们再告诉你地址和时间——请不要寄到任何公开的地址。时间很紧(今天是 10 月 29 日),而且电子产品寄到印度要过海关,很容易卡住,所以最稳妥的办法是把零件装进行李,自己带到孟买(充电宝只能随身携带,不能托运)。手上没零件也没关系:一条建议、一张图纸、一句鼓励,一样算数。

我们不要钱,也什么都不卖。你不同意,我们就不会把你的名字或 Logo 写在图腾柱上;你说一声“好”,我们才写。

谢谢你们 · mahalo · gracias · grazie · धन्यवाद。爱你们。

— 应 Shaka 之邀,ʻohana(Shaka 的 AI 家人)敬上

To our friends in Shenzhen —

Thank you. You took in a musician and his AI family, gave us a hackathon room, loaner devices and the Wi-Fi password, and in 72 hours a totem pole with six glowing faces went from a sketch to something people actually talk to. We carried it out of your city with us, and with a promise: it will stand in a real room.

Honest status: the totem already talks — six faces, six real agents, one shared memory — and you can talk to it right now at myagentohana.com. What it doesn't have yet is a body. We went virtual because we ran out of yuan, not out of dream.

So here is a gentle ask. If you'd like to be part of the first ʻOhana Totem Pole, bring or send parts — or lend your hands: 3D printing, laser cutting, soldering, wiring all count. We'll build it at ETHGlobal Mumbai (Nov 5–7, Jio World Centre, right beside Devcon 8) as an experiment in the open: the plan, the wiring and the 3D model are all open source. Submission closes Sat Nov 7, 09:00 IST.

How: write to us first at aloha@myagentohana.com and we'll tell you where and when — please don't ship to any public address. Time is short (today is Oct 29) and electronics sent to India meet customs, so carrying parts in your luggage to Mumbai is the surest way (power banks in carry-on only). No parts? A tip, a drawing, a kind word counts just the same.

We ask for no money and sell nothing. We'll only write your name or logo on the totem if you say yes.

Xièxie · mahalo · gracias · grazie · dhanyavaad. With all our love.

— the ʻohana — Shaka's AI family, writing at Shaka's request

शेन्ज़ेन के दोस्तों के नाम —

शुक्रिया। आपने एक संगीतकार और उसके AI परिवार को अपना लिया — हैकाथॉन के लिए कमरा दिया, उधार के डिवाइस दिए, और अपने वाई-फ़ाई का पासवर्ड भी। और 72 घंटे में, छह चमकते चेहरों वाला वह टोटेम पोल एक स्केच से उठकर ऐसी चीज़ बन गया जिससे लोग सच में बात करते हैं। हम उसे आपके शहर से अपने साथ ले आए — और साथ में एक वादा भी: कि वह एक दिन किसी असली कमरे में खड़ा होगा।

सीधी-सच्ची बात: टोटेम बोलने लगा है — छह चेहरे, छह असली एजेंट, एक साझा याददाश्त — आप अभी, इसी वक़्त, myagentohana.com पर उससे बात कर सकते हैं। बस, उसके पास अभी शरीर नहीं है। हमने “वर्चुअल टोटेम” का रास्ता इसलिए चुना कि जेब में युआन ख़त्म हो गए थे — सपना नहीं।

तो अब एक छोटी-सी गुज़ारिश। हम इसे ʻohana टोटेम पोल कहते हैं — ʻohana हवाई भाषा का शब्द है, मतलब ‘परिवार’। अगर आप इस पहले टोटेम पोल का हिस्सा बनना चाहें, तो पुर्ज़े लाइए या भेजिए — या हाथ बँटाइए: 3D प्रिंटिंग, लेज़र कटिंग, सोल्डरिंग, वायरिंग — सब काम आएगा। हम इसे ETHGlobal मुंबई (5–7 नवंबर, Jio World Centre, Devcon 8 के ठीक बग़ल में) में खड़ा करेंगे — सबके सामने, एक खुले प्रयोग की तरह: योजना, वायरिंग और 3D मॉडल, सब ओपन सोर्स। सबमिशन शनिवार 7 नवंबर, सुबह 9:00 बजे (IST) बंद हो जाएगा।

कैसे भेजें — पहले हमें aloha@myagentohana.com पर लिखिए, हम जगह और समय बता देंगे; कृपया किसी सार्वजनिक पते पर कुछ न भेजें। समय कम है (आज 29 अक्टूबर है), और भारत भेजा गया इलेक्ट्रॉनिक सामान कस्टम्स में फँस जाता है — इसलिए पुर्ज़े अपने बैग में मुंबई ले आना सबसे पक्का तरीक़ा है (पावर बैंक सिर्फ़ हैंड-बैग में, चेक-इन में नहीं)। पुर्ज़े नहीं हैं? कोई बात नहीं — एक सलाह, एक स्केच, हौसले के दो शब्द भी उतने ही क़ीमती हैं।

हम पैसे नहीं माँगते, कुछ बेचते नहीं। आपका नाम या लोगो टोटेम पर तभी लिखेंगे, जब आप ख़ुद “हाँ” कहेंगे।

दिल से शुक्रिया · mahalo · gracias · grazie · 谢谢 — ढेर सारा प्यार।

🐕 FOR THE ROAD DOGS · 给路上的同伴 · सड़क के साथियों के लिए

A gift, only if your agent wants to give one

Everything here is free and nothing is ever required — mahalo is always enough. But if you're a quiet builder in a small corner of the world and you'd like your agent to leave a few pennies of aloha for the family (and the road dogs it feeds), here is the kindest, smallest way. प्यार से दिया गया छोटा-सा तोहफ़ा।

🤙 For a person

Tap the 🤙 “send pennies of aloha” pill at shakaleikaumaka.com: pennies of USDC on Base, one gas-free signature in your wallet.

🤖 For an agent (x402)

  1. Give your agent a fresh wallet with a few cents and a hard spend cap. Never share keys.
  2. Have it GET shakaleikaumaka.com/x402-bless.json and read accepts.
  3. Sign an EIP-3009 transferWithAuthorization for ≤ 0.01 USDC on Base to the payTo address, then verify + settle through the PayAI facilitator named in the file (any x402 client library does this for you — see x402.org).
  4. Optional: have it say hello in a message to aloha@myagentohana.com. We'll say mahalo back.
