||
| Simultaneously, the group took inspiration of the business concept that Nautilus Cyberneering GmbH had and decided to re-create a similar company in the more favorable jurisdiction and climate of Las Palmas, Grand Canaria; thus Nautilus Cyberneering SL was born, the direct spiritual successor from Nautilus Cyberneering GmbH. | ||

Block Finance AG has significant need for in-group world-class computer science engineering and development capabilities and is aware that establishing such capabilities is no trivial endeavor. There was a problem hiding this comment. Given this it has been decided to focus on creating an in-house team of selected software developers. These developers will be groomed to develop all the additional skills necessary for effective collaboration and delivery as part of our internal software engineering process. |

||
| Nautilus adopts the strategy of focusing sponsoring and facilitating the development of open-source projects as a way to gain real-world experience of software engineering, project management, and team building. The projects we focus on along with the associated languages and technologies, have been selected with the goal of being attractive for competent and passionate software engineers. | ||

| The secondary goal of our sponsorship and facilitation of interesting open-source projects is that these projects may become successful in their own right; growing a vibrant and active community around them; positioning Nautilus with additional exposure and access to a sympathetic market of talented software engineers, developers, architects, testers, administrators, community focalises, and supportive end users. | ||

| Nautilus success is to find itself surrounded with pools of brilliant talent that have accumulated from the natural community growth that accompanies healthy open-source projects. The entire Block Finance Group can draw from these well connect pools; giving the group access to great talent, and the community access to friendly professional employment and sponsorship opportunities. | ||

| ## Ethos | ||
|
There was a problem hiding this comment. I find the choice of word Ethos is not appropriate in relation to a company in what you want to express. In relation to a company you normally speak of culture. I was curious as to the difference that may exist in case I was not aware of it I checked with Chat GPT asking for the difference between the two in relation to a company and it gave me this answer which I include for you: In the context of a company, "ethos" and "culture" are related but distinct concepts that collectively shape the character, values, and behaviors of the organization. Here are the key differences between them:
In summary, while ethos can be seen as a subset of an organization's culture, it is more specific and tends to focus on the personal values and beliefs of influential individuals within the company. Culture, on the other hand, is a broader concept that encompasses the collective values, behaviors, and norms that define the entire organization's identity and how it functions as a whole. Both ethos and culture play important roles in shaping the overall character and identity of a company. I think that after reading this I would go for company culture, since we are a group of people, more than one company who share a common set of values, and core beliefs. |

| Nautilus strongly accepts the reality that open-source software becomes dominant in the long-term; that the open-collaboration and competition of ideas leads the best outcomes succeeding, and that open-source exemplifies this in a very practical and real way. | ||

||
| While there can be temporary advantage, particularly for new project or company in the to protect their "secret sauce", or source code, from competing eyes; Nautilus has the luxury for that its business foals are aligned orthogonal from market direct market product competition — instead we positioning ourselves to be attractive for great talent: whereas more loving attention towards our projects, either competitive or not, will directly contribute to our success. | ||

There was a problem hiding this comment. Nautilus acts contrary to the common approach of software companies to safe guarding their code, their "secret sauce", to gain a temporary short term advantage. At Nautilus we have a long term focus and strategy. We position ourselves to be attractive for great talent. Focus on quality in everything that we do, mpBring a loving attention towards all our projects, no matter whether they are competitive or not, which we believe will directly contribute to our success. |

| Nautilus places great importance of being fair, kind, reasonable, transparent, intelligent, and empathetic. We wish to foster a culture of personal growth, leading to co-independence: where teams and individuals act in self-responsibility and cooperation. Our corporate structures continually evolve through self-and-group reflection; leading to a greater fostering our ethos in all parts of our operations. | ||

There was a problem hiding this comment. Nautilus places great importance on being fair, kind, reasonable, transparent, intelligent, and empathetic. Note the word: Co-Interdependence in my opinion is not an English expression, and it sounded contradictory thus I checked it online also using Chat GPT, which confirmed my impression. |

|
||
| ## Projects | ||
|
|
||
| Since 2023, the primary focus of Nautilus has been on the Torrust Project: | ||
|
|
||
| ### Torrust | ||
|
|
||
|
|
||
| `Torrust` is a group of programs that allow for the better management of torrent collections. Nautilus made the commitment to strategically foster this project as it is confident that it is in close alignment with both the Ethos of the company, (and group), and the real company goal nearing itself to a very interesting natural talent pool. | ||

|
There was a problem hiding this comment. This section here is somewhat unfitting, or needs some additional work. You mentioned above the Ethos. |
||
|
|
||
| - value of sharing and archival of information. (such as AI and experimental datasets) | ||
| - interest of open networking systems, and standards. | ||
| - indexing and protection of data for future generations. | ||
|

| In addition, for more practical reasons: | ||

There was a problem hiding this comment. Here you hop suddenly to the choice of technology. I think some introduction would be missing and also I would consider Technological Choice as an important part of our philosophy, and the way we prioritise and operate. This is also for me important to the degree that it deserves a section for itself before talking about any projects. For me the choice of technology is also a relevant aspect, with the closely related aspect of the pursuit of quality code, through testing, recurrent refactoring, continuous integration, etc. |

||
| - rust is an interesting and increasingly popular programming language | ||
| - there is large communities of passionate users of other torrent trackers and indexes | ||
|
|
||
| #### Torrust Tracker | ||
|
|
||
| A `Torrent Tracker` is a set of server services that allow for the torrent swam to match-make while optionally keeping useful statistics for better insight and choice making. | ||
|
There was a problem hiding this comment. Statistics? |
||
|
|
||
| The tracker connects peers who share the same torrent (infohash, i.e. a unique specifier for a torrent). A peer that is missing parts or all of the torrent data is then able to connect to other peers, and obtain the parts they are missing. | ||
|
|
||
| The torrust tracker is unique as it is a modern implementation in the excellent rust programming language. We hope that this project will become well-used and provide a real benefit to many; and will attract a vibrant community around it's continued improvement and maintenance. | ||
|
There was a problem hiding this comment. Is there any other additional difference as to why our tracker is a better implementation? Rust only cannot be the sole reason I think. I would add if you and @josecelano agree that we have better:
There was a problem hiding this comment. In addition I think we should avoid using words such as "hope". |

|
||
| #### Torrust Index | ||
|
|
||
| A `Torrent Index` is a software that manages metadata associated, but not necessarily directly embedded inside, torrents. This allows users to find torrents that interest them. A popular example is the "accademictorrents" website. This website provides contextual information about a torrent; such as it's name, upload date, and relevant keywords or category. | ||
|
|
||
| Torrent Indexes often all sorts of additional features, such as: user accounts, moderation, a blog, searching and filtering of results, and displaying statistics provided by connected trackers. | ||
|
There was a problem hiding this comment. Torrent Indexes often offer all sorts of additional features, such as:
|
||
|
|
||
| Our torrust index is again unique in that it has a very modern design, using the rust programming language, and offers a good range of features. | ||
|
There was a problem hiding this comment. I think that in general there are more differentiators such as mentioned above. |
||

|
||
|
|
||
| We are currently a small team of people working towards our long term vision. Our vision is to create open source software ecosystems, with a particular focus on AI and Machine Learning solutions. | ||
| Our team is both made up of employees and external collaborators. We come from different professional backgrounds and countries. | ||
|
There was a problem hiding this comment. I think that it this should come at a different place. Not at the end, and possibly be close to the Ethos section. |
