Criminal Digits, Prime Numbers as Virii, and a Dead Man's Switch
I am fortunate that I can count above 20 if I take my pants off, so folks that have the ability to create clever code generally possess greater mathematical ability than I do.  Some of them have shown they are quite clever indeed, including Satoshi Nakamoto, who incorporated enemedia stories about failing banks in the initial blocks of the BTC chain.

On <a href="https://www.righto.com/2014/02/ascii-bernanke-wikileaks-photographs.html">Righto.com</a> Ken Shirrif discusses his investigations into the data inserted into the blocks of data maintained by the BTC miners.  While folks that aren't interested in free speech, BTC, or cryptography will probably find their eyes glazing over reading it, they might not, because, from a song by Rick Astley to prime numbers that replicate themselves and carry a malicious payload when executed as code, the diversity of speech encoded into the BTC blockchain touches on something or another almost everyone has some interest in.

The above image accompanies quotes from the late terrorist, Communist, and African politician Nelson Mandela, considered a tribute in nature.  While much of the information revealed to date is easily understood, yet mystifying why it was incorporated into BTC blocks, some yet remains encrypted.

Indeed, there is speculation that Julian Assange has triggered a Dead Man's Switch and keys that will unlock 88GB of data that has previously been shared in encrypted form are able to be found in the blockchain data.

Considering the damning proof of crimes against humanity contained in other information already released by Wikileaks openly, whatever the contents of the 88GB insurance files are, they are likely to be horrifying enough to topple governments.  TBQH, I'm surprised more publicity hasn't been given to the sudden hunt for these keys in places where resisting censorship is a community focus, like Hive.

<a href="https://boards.4chan.org/pol/">Threads on /pol/ have been frantically disrupted in obvious shilling by brightly glowing counter-intelligence operatives, to little avail, as the autists on 4chan seek the keys and resist the MKUltra subliminal suggestions to catch a little shut eye instead.

If for no other reason than to read the superlative ad hominems each throw at the other, you might find the threads interesting, even if the inclusion of data in blockchains that could change the World Order isn't.  I read Toastmaster's Guides with a flashlight under the blankies deep into the night as a child, and find the reverse of toasts - curses - no less fascinating today.

Most people will find something of interest in this ongoing contest, I am sure, and so I leave this here, indelibly echoed on the Hive blockchain, for your edification.
