Topic: DATACOIN : Choosing the "first" document uploaded in the blockchain - page 2. (Read 1973 times)

5 books just for now

Going off of the Fahrenheit 451 idea, if you just wanted to use quotes instead of the whole book I put this one up for vote:

"Peace, Montag.  Give the people contests they win by remembering the words to more popular songs or the names of state capitals or how much corn Iowa grew last year.  Cram them full of noncombustible data, chock them so full of 'facts' they feel stuffed, but absolutely 'brilliant' with information.  Then they'll feel they're thinking, they'll get a sense of motion without moving.  And they'll be happy, because facts of that sort don't change.  Don't give them any slippery stuff like philosophy or sociology to tie things up with.  That way lies melancholy.  Any man who can take a TV wall apart and put it back together again, and most men can, nowadays, is happier than any man who tries to slide-rule, measure, and equate the universe, which just won't be measured or equated without making man feel bestial and lonely.  I know, I've tried it.  So bring on your clubs and parties, your acrobats and magicians, your daredevils, jet cars, motorcycle helicopters, your sex and heroin, more of everything to do with automatic reflex.  If the drama is bad, if the film says nothing; if the play is hollow, sting me with the theremin, loudly.  I'll think I'm responding to the play, when it's only a tactile reaction to vibration.  But I don't care.  I just like solid entertainment."

George Orwell «1984»

Why not load up a list of the founders names and a bio to go with it, in this way as the coin moves in a direction away from them or givin time they are givin due credit for their work.

I think this was a good choice of words for testing, could of been: lets see if this mutha works...

we can choose multiple books, and then include their TX IDs into all Datacoin promotions, just like proof-of-concept.

Transaction fees for storing files go to the Miners.

Just a question that probably is in the documentation, are the coins destroyed or go to miners in next blocks??

Did you actually read it? I've stopped after 50 pages. It's unbelievably boring. Like reading a phone directory.

LOL why not ? It is one of the best novels ever written, and a best seller of course 

The Bible

I have just uploaded a poem (encoded in html without compression).
You can check it at transaction 4cbdc7e0101a6f6d2beaf5a19cb4495b3d0278653d1f913368f88c54575622fa

I agree. I think free (copyright expired) ebooks should be stored early on. I would donate 10 DTC to the unofficial team if someone took it up.

Candidates (bzip compressed 50-200 KB / book):

Moby Dick: http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/2701

Beowulf: http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/16328

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland: http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/11

Les Misérables: http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/135

There is a lot of potential with this coin.  You can use it to store html files that can then be processed directly from the blockchain utilizing a special client.

You would need to store the data in a certain way.

Something like:


Bzip that and store it and someone could easily extract the file from the chain, parse the title using the identifier above, and display it.  Really the possibilities are endless.

Other ideas that you can use it for are private messages encrypted with a certain key.  Then the two clients can send untraceable encrypted messages that get decrypted by the clients at either end.

You don't actually need to bzip it, but you would be wasting transaction fees if you do not compress the data.

yeah,  the blockchain can be used to store wikileaks doc

I like the idea of this coin, I see it as a decentralized WikiLeaks of sorts.

Thanks for the info

Matrix was a little joke, ofcourse it's a bit too large (for now  ). Fahrenheit 451 is an excellent idea. Catch-22 would fit very well too.  

Yeah, bzip is not restriction, but it really helps.

Let's wait for the new envelope protocol before uploading the matrix

Well, in fact you can upload any kind of document to the blockchain, it is obviously advisable to compress it in some form (bzip, zip, rar, 7z, whatever) before uploading because of the fees.
