Re: BlockPaper – Centralized, paper-backed blockchain in my home office
#2Thanks for your interest in BlockPaper. Imagine a world where all transactions can be tracked on a single, linear chain of paper links. Centrally managed in a corner in my home office, each link in this chain represents a step forward into our collective future - a future that you can use your money to own a small part of. Adding a new link to the chain is easy and affordable - based on how I'm feeling and your personal defintion of affordable. The starting price for a new link in the chain is $1.00 USD. This price is variable and based on a mathematical function. Essentially, the price is inversely correlated with how much I want to get off my chair and add a new link to the chain. Once the new link is added, I'll send you a picture of it via email.
I wrote BlockPaper last night using ASP.NET Core, Azure (SQL, storage, webapps), Twilio, SendGrid, and Cloudflare.

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 I paid for to own it myself. I've seen them people, they tend to do that.
Also, before I invest my money in this project, I would like to know: how many BlockPaper links have been sold already?

Looks like there's a /view endpoint. Current end of chain is #10: https://www.buyblockpaper.com/View/10 .

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://twitter.com/BuyBlockPaper/status/1490047224688132098)

#6What about the collapse of civilization or the apocalypse? How much will block paper be worth if all law, order and economies break down?

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.

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.

#9This is so good. Another one of those 'is this a hilarious joke or just another blockchain project pioneered by your next-door crypto bro' challenges! This was a close one, almost got me.
