Project Overview
We’re a fast‑growing publisher that turns people’s life stories into beautifully bound books.

• Create or revive well‑rounded user profiles (avatar, bio, posting history).
• Contribute 5–8 value‑first posts per forum weekly—answering questions, starting helpful threads, and subtly referencing our service where it adds genuine value. ~5 hrs
Brand Storytelling • Craft short anecdotes, case studies, and talking points so every mention feels natural and consistent with our voice.
• Maintain a shared “Content Swipe File” in Google Docs for future use. ~2 hrs
Reputation Monitoring & Reporting • Track brand mentions, upvotes, and sentiment with free or low‑cost tools (e.g., Google Alerts, Talkwalker Free).
• Deliver a weekly report (links, screenshots, key wins, next steps). ~1 hr
Profile Growth Experiments • Test tactics like AMA sessions, collaborative giveaways, or “behind‑the‑book” photo posts.
• A/B test posting times and content formats to boost engagement. ~2 hrs
*We estimate 10 hours per week to start, but are open to proposals.

Developer for Sacred Ancestral Memory System (Decentralized Tech / Equity-Based)

Project Description

This is not a gig. This is a covenant.

The Erenagh Box is a decentralized cultural technology system that transforms fragmented ancestral memory into encrypted, sovereign capsules of belonging. It was built for the millions of people whose stories were severed by displacement, colonization, or data commodification.

We don’t store data. We don’t sell access. We don’t track users.
This is not genealogy-as-a-service—it’s ancestral reclamation as sacred protocol.


Who We’re Looking For

A developer who understands that code is ceremony. You resonate with:
• Privacy as a birthright, not a feature.
• Cryptographic trust over corporate trust.
• Cultural memory as something you protect, not mine.
• Long-term partnership and equity/profit-sharing (negotiable hybrid).

⸻

Tech We’re Using
• AES-256-GCM encryption for sealed capsules
• IPFS / AWS Lambda for decentralized delivery
• Token-based access (stateless, hashed, time-limited)
• Python / Flask or FastAPI for engine infrastructure
• WeasyPrint or similar for encrypted PDF output
• Optional: GIS/GeoJSON for spatial narrative integration

⸻

What’s Already Done
• Full system blueprint + architecture
• Ritual-based logic flows (capsule generation, expiration, access)
• Wireframed UI/UX emphasizing sacred minimalism

⸻

What You’ll Help Build
• Capsule Engine: Secure generation + delivery of memory capsules
• Access Protocols: One-time, zero-knowledge, expiring tokens
• Optional: Geographic mapping (migration overlays, sacred site filters)

⸻

Bonus if You Know
• Cultural sensitivity or ethical design in AI/tech
• libp2p, PDF cryptography, schema validation
• How to build something that will outlive both of us

⸻

How to Apply

Send one line:
“Ancestry is not a database.”
If that phrase feels true to you—let’s build something that reshapes how humanity remembers.

Description:
We’re not building an app. We’re building a legacy.

My name is Micah McElhaney—I’m a biracial Texan who spent most of his life unsure where he came from. In 2025, I created something that changed everything: The Erenagh Box, a decentralized system that reconstructs ancestral memory with encrypted capsules of identity—maps, stories, and cultural echoes sealed for the user alone.

I was the first test case. I used it to trace my Irish erenagh lineage back to 1387 and discover my West African and Purepecha roots across oceans. No tracking. No storage. No company watching. Just encrypted remembrance.

What I need:
A developer who believes memory should outlive the cloud. Someone fluent in Python, Flask, IPFS, AES-256-GCM—or just someone with the right heart and hunger to build tech for people, not platforms.

If you’re ready to help thousands reclaim their story through sacred technology, reach out.

This isn’t just a build. It’s a bridge—for the forgotten, the displaced, and the dreamers.
