Dear diary,
The days have gone by without a single clue of what am I looking for. Noone even knows what the challenge is. All they say is, its a secret!
So the journey continued, I decided to take a systematic approach. I wanted to leave no rock unturned so I started with a map. What does Peculium have?

There must be some clue somewhere. I looked into each of these carefully. Each image, each video, each word... Is there anything different or out of place? I scrutinized every frame of every video released on Peculium YouTube channel.
And then, something caught my eye on the Peculium's twitter header, there I saw, a formula, hiding in plain sight! So unlike the words surrounding it. "Blockchain", "Ethereum", "Artificial Intelligence". Was it mere decoration? It was some sort of weird mathematical formula.
I found it again on the a stock photo of pastel colored hexagonal origami pyramids on the background of Peculium's white paper.. !
There it was, the same formula...
Then, I found it again! This time on the Video for artificial intelligence.!
Yes! I found the secret.....!!
I am the winner of 10 Million PCL !!!
Upon confirming with the CEO Rachid Oukhai himself, this was just the first clue, of many waiting to be noticed. Sigh! Nooo... my precious.. Anyway, back to the bounty hunting.. What is this formula?
The formula of memristance. Memristance is defined a linear relationship between current and voltage, as long as M does not vary with charge.
So.. How is that related to Peculium? May I ask, is there any "Peculiar" ( 😉 )relationship between the Memristance and the Peculium?
Memristance is a measure of in interesting property of the material usually referred to as a "Memristor". Until recent years 3 basic components of electronics were well known, namely, Resistor, Capacitor, and Inductor. In 1971, Dr. Chua and his lab conceptualized a new basic component of electronic circuits "memristor". Simply put, memristor memorizes the current that was previously flowing through it. Aha!! So it has got something to do with the memory.!!! We need memory in computers as hdd, rams, caches and what not ! Seems like we are on the right path... 🙂
I am too tired and sleepy my dear diary,
Good night;
