I'm going to preface this by saying that this deck is no fun to play against, and after you get the thing set up, it’s no fun to pilot. There are also certain match-ups where the thing just falls flat on its face, so keep that in mind.
That being said, here is how it works.
Good starting hands involve one or several of the following cards: Investigative Journalism (to prevent bad pub removal from shutting down have your deck), Djinn (for tutoring up Hivemind, Chakana, and other viruses), Kati Jones (for stable economy), and Blackmail (for early game scores).
During the early game, you never run. Not once. You just set up your rig.
When the corp realizes this, they may get cheeky and try to score out an agenda. This is when you Blackmail the server. In an ideal world, the corp will never rez a piece of ice all game.
See what I meant about no fun?
The rig you’re trying to set up involves Hivemind hosted on a Progenitor. You then have Djinn with 3 Chakana, followed up with 2 Virus Breeding Ground. These eight cards essentially make the game unwinnable for the corp. They can’t score agendas, and if they purge, you’re two clicks away from turning your Chakanas back on.
There is a second combo, probably the silliest thing I’ve ever put together. It involves the following four cards: - Raymond Flint - Investigative Journalism - Nerve Agent - Hivemind
Spend four clicks, give the corp one bad pub, and, if your Hivemind is charged up enough, access the corp's entire hand. Important for scoring agendas, but you can also use it to trash pieces of a Scorched Earth combo with Imp.
If the corp does find a way to rez their ice, you have Parasite, which will kill just about anything at instant speed, and Darwin, which costs a bit to use but will work in a pinch.
You have I've Had Worse for Weyland Scorched Decks, Levy AR Lab Access and Raymond Flint’s expose effect for Jinteki PE, and Clone Chip to kill Swordsman at instant speed if that becomes the issue.
Worst case scenario is to use Gravedigger to mill them out.

Played this against 1 turn CI and got 3 chakana online. All I had to do was sit there and watch them deck out. |

You don't find the 50 card minimum to be a hassle?
