Ah good times...
during college I encoded a few things into Bitcoin. I wrote a small script myself [1]. I started by sending a love letter to my girl friend back then. It didn't age well haha.
Next, for an application, I sent a cover letter through a transaction [2] but they never replied!

- cirosantilli 6y agoThanks for sharing your story!!! That's the spirit.
- timdaub 6y agoThanks for crawling and making it all available! Looking back at this data is quite personal for me as I ended up getting hired by ascribe.io in that process of finding a job. At ascribe, we an stored art work's hash on the Bitcoin blockchain using the OP_RETURN value. Looking at your crawled data, it's registration calls are hard to miss [1]. It's crazy to think that some of this data is now stored in there forever. - 1: https://github.com/cirosantilli/bitcoin-strings-with-txids/blob/2f1358ad7cb20dd9298746d9bde1cedcda1fe1e3/data/out/0357.txt#L1 https://github.com/cirosantilli/bitcoin-strings-with-txids/b...
- cirosantilli 6y agoAhh, so you were the ones doing that pollution of the ASCII ;-) Just kidding. OP_RETURN is fine.
