NEWS NEWS NEWS:Creativechain participates in the contemporary art exhibition Documenta 14 collaborating in the installation of The Mill of Blood.
Creativechain.org presents its first collaboration within the framework of the multidisciplinary cryptocreation program Creativechain Lab.
Creativechain participates together with the artist Antonio Vega Macotela developing the blockchain technology that incorporates the installation The Mill of Blood, one of the main works of Documenta 14 (Germany, from June 10 to September 17), the world's largest contemporary art event Which is celebrated every 5 years in the city of Kassel.
The installation is a three-by-three-meter replica of steel and wood reproducing the coin minting machine used by Spanish settlers in the gold and silver mines of Potosí, (Bolivia). The mill mints physical coins that are automatically registered in a blockchain creating in parallel a cryptocurrency version of it [TEIO].
Technically the blockchain of TEIO is a fork of Creativechain with some modifications. Every time someone spins the mill, a physical coin is minted into a safe box. At its fall a sensor detects the coin and automatically creates a crypto version until it reaches a maximum of 25,000 "mined" coins. Unlike the original mill, this time there will not be slaves or animals that push the wheels of the mill but the spectators of the festival. The mill can only be rotated during the 100 days of Documenta 14. At the end of the festival, the mill and the molds used to shape the physical coins will be destroyed. However, these physical coins will be kept under lock and key in a bank and the resulting Cryptocoins could be acquired in an initial coin offering (ICO).
The Mill of Blood is a work that doesn’t only want us to consider the circulation of symbolic power through an alternative currency, but also to question the complex process by which economic value is produced in the postcolonial era.

the daemon is already available:
https://millofblood.com/white-paper.phphttps://binaries.millofblood.com/commits/c864e0e/problems:
1. there is a genesis block, which is 3 weeks old. so we can mine this with scrypt. but i dont see the ICO part of this coin?
2. there are no nodes. the hard coded 5.189.181.124:10946 is offline. how can i find chain? if you want to add me:
addnode=178.238.224.213:12358
3. i think the artist might have other things to to. the wooden mill is broken since a week now. ( people moved it too fast, in the wrong direction )
Hi, TEIOS ICO starts next July 1st, so mining is still not possible as you can't connect the nodes yet. At the moment there is a box that mines the coins everytime someone spins around the wooden mill.
The mill is working perfectly, today a lot of coins have been mined (you can even check the amount of mined coins using the bot @teiosbot in Telegram). Where did you heard it is broken? That's not true. It is being a success and has received notable visits, such as that of the presidents of Germany and Greece, mining together TEIOS cryptocurrency (see picture).
Anyway, please even though Creativechain has participated in TEIOS technology, it is a different project,
any doubts concerning to TEIOS can be asked in https://millofblood.com/contact.php and not in this thread.
