Here is "ritual" for you: How about spending few coins on actual service or buying some good?

+1

Better yet, how about offering the other side of that exchange?

I say you make a pinata out of one of the big bank logos, and bash that bastard open - hidden within are a few printed bitbills that are redeemable for some bitcoins. Too bad there aren't any bitcoin candy coins to throw in there for fun Smiley

I heard that due to the shift in the electromagnetic pull from the halving of the blockchain reward you can actually stand an egg on its end.

We should all do that and gaze in wonder at the power of physics and electricity!

I think a good tradition would be to cut something in half. Even if it's just a bad habit.

Happy halving day everyone!  Grin
I like this one. Cut something in half and post a pic/vid of it.

there should be some item that is held somewhere and cut in half every time reward drops

stick, 21 inch long
precious stone, like sapphire, there are synthetic ones to buy

a bottle of something, liquid drinkable or not, half spilled into the fire

I have better idea: LOL Smiley
Everyone sends me the first 20 coins mined (finding a block or not). 15WLztstXkfybemi9Ecd9FQ4vt6wiJjN6b
Coin will not be spent on blow, gambling or hookers.  

To be honest, this is NOT a happy day. Now at least I can be happy Smiley and you feel good too. Wink

Instead of burning fiat,
Print a shit load of real looking fiat bills with on it ; "Freshly printed", a troll face, 2012 Bitcoin halving celebration day.

Then spread it all around town so people can find them.

+1 on this, btw I refuse to burn any fiat notes and help them go up in value.

Instead, I will print a bitcoin paper wallet and send a satoshi to it with no fees, then burn it. If it ever gets confirmed by any of you miners it will be lost forever like Satoshi himself, if not, I will get to spend it on something useful and It would mean Satoshi is still among us.

What about this one: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/13xd05/idea_for_the_210000th_block_lets_all_make/

Quote
For the 210,000'th block lets all make transaction with high transactions fees, to additionally reward the finder of this block;

I know, not really useful but i think a nice gesture and also the block will be "marked" in many diagrams as a spike of transaction fees Smiley

Who is with me?

Just book a transaction after the 209,999th block is mined from one own address to an other address you own and set higher than usual transaction fees.


Additionally you can proudly proclaim that one of your transaction is recorded in the first-ever 25BTC-Block, if that isnt something? Smiley

We were brainstorming that it'd be fun to have certain traditions or rituals on this day,

Yup, not a currency. A religion.

As the time approaches, I've finalized my playlist for when we're on the last few 50BTC blocks:

1) Europe - The Final Countdown
2) REM - End of the World
Two more,

Pink Floyd - Money (live)
Early Stones - Money

Money, get away.
Get a good job with good pay and you're okay.
Money, it's a gas.
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash.
New car, caviar, four star daydream,
Think I'll buy me a football team.

Money, get back.
I'm all right Jack keep your hands off of my stack.
Money, it's a hit.
Don't give me that do goody good bullshit.
I'm in the high-fidelity first class traveling set
And I think I need a Lear jet.

Money, it's a crime.
Share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie.
Money, so they say
Is the root of all evil today.
But if you ask for a raise it's no surprise that they're
giving none away.

-------- Tongue
Halve a Happy Day!

"hey let's worship bitcoin and Satoshi and dance around a camp fire with woven grass skirts while howling like Native Americans"
Sounds like fun. Except the local custom is loud boom-boom drums for any and all occasions.

It'll be an hour ahead of Macau here. Well, I mean it will happen at the same moment world wide but on the clock it'll say one hour earlier.
