Perhaps my favorite internet moment ever has been given the indecently bland Wikipedia title of [AACS encryption key controversy](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AACS_encryption_key_controversy). For the kids, non-nerds, and amnesiac nerds, a synopsis: the movie industry subpoenaed Digg to remove any references to the number **09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0** on the grounds that the number could be used to decrypt DVDs. Digg complied. Users revolted. The front page of Digg looked a lot like /r/all, except full of hexadecimal digits instead of fat people and swastikas.

One of the main draws of Bitcoin has always been its relative decentralization of control and independence from existing legal and financial systems. Similarly, using LBC as an "appcoin" gives LBRY some healthy autonomy from Bitcoin while allowing for the technical innovations explained above.

An appcoin, as described by LBRY's Mike Vine on [Decentral Vancouver's "#Blocktalk"](/news/lbry-desktop-sneak-peak-big-questions-answered-lbry-on-blocktalk-last-night) and in [CoinTelegraph](http://cointelegraph.com/news/the-appcoin-revolution-interview-with-mike-vine-of-lbry), is a cryptocurrency that is designed specifically to power an application, with only that application's precise functions in mind. The purpose of this appcoin is not to compete for a better form of money than Bitcoin, but to function as a special purpose tool in ways Bitcoin cannot. Creating a special tool in the form of a new coin allows us to start fresh, customizing features like the initial allocation and blockchain rules.

In the early days of our protocol, LBRY Inc. will be making a concerted effort to deploy LBC in a non-neutral way. We will be incentivizing early adopters, amazing content publishers, and even nonprofits which share our vision of a free and open internet. We will be retaining a portion to finance the continued development of the ecosystem. LBRY Credits will work on behalf of development of the LBRY content distribution network, not the other way around.

A recent New York Times [op-ed](https://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2016/03/18/an-experimental-autism-treatment-cost-me-my-marriage) by John Elder Robison tells the story of his life before and after taking part in a groundbreaking experiment into using an innovative electromagnetic therapy to perhaps remediate a core disability of autism. Robison, who is on the autism spectrum had a successful career and family life, but nevertheless faced personal challenges and decided to try TMS, or transcranial magnetic stimulation, to gain greater insight into the emotional cues and nonverbal communications of other people. Researchers hoped to gain better insight into how TMS might help address these challenges. Robison hopes these insights will one day form the basis of therapies, and he experienced great rewards - even from this early stage experiment. The treatment granted him the ability to read better and feel emotions, but it was quite a ride. His marriage fell apart, and many of his personal relationships became strained for years. Conversely, with new eyes, he formed many new relationships, he re-married, and many others relationships grew stronger.

John's son, Jack Robison, is LBRY's own core developer. Jack, also on the autism spectrum (and who once [faced 60 years in prison](/new/jack-robison-escaped-60-years-in-prison-now-hes-revolutionizing-the-internet) for misunderstood high school chemistry experiments), has been a steadfast advocate for autism rights. To say autism awareness and understanding is an issue near and dear to our hearts is an understatement.

What's more, we plan to put our credits where our mouth is and grant a significant sum of LBRY credits to [William and Mary's neurodiversity program](https://www.wm.edu/sites/neurodiversity) to further research, education, and outreach into autism.

Significant progress has been made on the white paper and a first draft is very close to being shared publicly. It will be released as a navigational document, in an in-progress state, on our new LBRY.tech (not live yet) developer resource site and we'll be asking the community for their feedback.

Wallet encryption has been implemented on the daemon but is not yet available in the LBRY app. If you want to use this feature ASAP, check out the [CLI](https://lbryio.github.io/lbry/cli/#wallet_encrypt) documentation - the wallet will need to be [unlocked](https://lbryio.github.io/lbry/cli/#wallet_unlock) manually before app startup. Feel free to reach out on Discord with any questions!
