At birth, it will be common to post a “hello world, here’s my public key” as a Bitcoin blockchain message. In the long run, may be the cheapest way to have it be archived.
- oauea 5y agoPersonally I wasn't capable of posting such a message until quite a few years after my birth.

- RandallBrown 5y agoThis (well something like it) is a major plot point in Neal Stephenson's newest book Fall, Or Dodge In Hell.
- nynx 5y agoI couldn't get through the second half of that book. Do you recommend finishing it?
- prepend 5y agoI recommend it, although it’s basically a quest/fantasy book at that point. If you ever wondered what the deal with Enoch Root is, this book explains it. Quite well too, I think. Also his idea of a purdah as an identifier is something I think society will eventually need to come up with to address what happens with new states of identity.
- intotheabyss 5y agoMore likely it'll be on Ethereum, not Bitcoin.
- prepend 5y agoMore likely it will be on neither, but if I had to do one, I’d choose bitcoin. Although, comically I wasn’t willing to spend a few cents back when it was a few cents and certainly not willing to spend $15 now.
