Hi! Will you also post the pictures on the Twitter account or only send it by email? On the one hand I would like to be able to brag about my purchase and having it posted by your Twitter account would make it look more official (after all, I could take the picture myself on a fake BlockPaper at home if I was a scammer), on the other hand I fear that people will download and report the picture of the BlockPaper link…

Thanks for your interest! We've hit double digits so I've started cold-calling A16Z and other investors. You'll get it by email, but we have Twitter and Facebook sharing links to allow you to easily brag about your financial prowess and gambling ability (see here: https://buyblockpaper.com/View/5 ). Of course, if you tag us on Twitter, I'll retweet anything and tell everyone how smart you are (see here: https://twitt…

You should add the meta tags for social networks on the viewer page. The summary_large_image version should be cool. You can test the feature here: https://cards-dev.twitter.com/validator :).

BlockPaper will likely cause the collapse of civilization as it will be the most sought after physical item in the world and will cause massive cross-continental conflict once the chain reaches critical mass. So, I mean, it's gonna be worth a lot. No other blockchain can, or will, make this claim. When the grid shuts down, BlockPaper keeps ticking.

That's good to hear. I'll just pull all my investments from my goat farm and civboot.org and put it all in block paper then. Thanks for making everything so much easier!

Now THIS is a smart investor. Good call.

Smart people taking time and effort to make fun of something is the ultimate compliment! This is the kind of satire that pushes me to go dig deeper into cryptocurrencies and figure out what's world changing and what's chaff.

Bold of you to think I'm smart! Thanks for checking it out.

Yes that's right. It's all viewable - it's the only physically observable blockchain (that I'm aware of). Also I'm not really sure what a blockchain is, but I'm confident this qualifies.

What plans do you have to present periodic snapshots of the full chain? I'm uncomfortable going all in until I can be sure that my links won't be edited out.

I'm thinking about adding a live Twitch stream of the chain, but that sounds like a lot of work so I'll probably just upload periodic pictures of it in a pile on my floor to Twitter every few days and charge $5,000 if people want to come audit it physically.

Thanks for the advice, BlockPaper holder #14. I'm a back-end dev so this stuff is mostly arcane to me. I'll check it out!
