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.....!!

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;

Hello & Cheers!! I'm a content detection and information bot. You are receiving this reply because a short link or links have been detected in your post/comment. The purpose of this message is to inform your readers and yourself about the use of and dangers of short links.
To the readers of the post: Short links are provided by url shortening services. The short links they provide can be useful in some cases. Generally their use is benign. But as with all useful tools there are dangers. Short links can be used to hide all sorts of things. Quite frequently they are used to hide referral links for instance. While not dangerous this can be deceptive. They can also be used to hide dangerous links such as links to phishing sites, sites loaded with malware, scam sites, etc. You should always be extremely cautious before clicking on one. If you don't know and trust the poster don't click. Even if you do you should still be cautious and wary of any site you are sent to. It's always better to visit the site directly and not through a short link.
To the author of the post: While short links may be useful on some sites they are not needed on steemit. You can use markdown to format your links such as this link to steemit. It's as simple as
[steemit](https://steemit.com)Unlike short links this allows the reader to see where they are going by simply hovering over the link before they click on it.
