Notably, developed his own set of scripts at https://github.com/cirosantilli/bitcoin-inscription-indexer to find some of this data. This article is based on data analyzed up to around block 831k (February 2024). Drop some at \b[3KRk7f2JgekF6x7QBqPHdZ3pPDuMdY3eWR] if you are loaded and like this article in order to support some much needed higher educational reform: {full}. When this kind of non-financial data is embedded into a blockchain some people called an "". the study or "early" inscriptions had been called a form of "archeology"https://docs.ordinals.com/overview.html{ref}http://blockchainarchaeology.com/{ref}. Since this is a collection of archeological artifacts, we call it a ""! One really cool thing about inscriptions is that because blockchains are huge , it is impossible to censor any one inscription without censoring the entire blockchain. It is also really cool to see people treating the Bitcoin blockchain basically like a global social media feed! Starting on December 2022, took the bitcoin blockchain by storm, and dwarfed in volume all other previous inscriptions. This museum focuses mostly on non-ordinals, though certain specific ordinal topics may be covered, e.g. . is a mandatory precursor to this article and contains the most interesting examples of the time. But much happened since Ken's article which we try to cover. Also this analysis is also a bit more data oriented through our usage of scripting. Artifacts can be organized in various ways: * chronologically * by , e.g. vs * by or events, e.g. the or * encoding, e.g. vs In this article we've done a mixture of: * : if multiple items fall in a theme, we tend to put it there first * then by if they don't fit any specific theme * then by encoding * and finially chronologically within each section Who said it was easy to be a museum curator! = Media type {parent=Cool data embedded in the Bitcoin blockchain} = Images {parent=Media type} Besides , the huge majority of images is encoded with the system/format.
