This is a collection of cool data found in the Bitcoin blockchain using techniques mentioned at: <how to extract data from the Bitcoin blockchain>{full}. Notably, <Ciro Santilli> 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 <Bitcoins> at \b[3KRk7f2JgekF6x7QBqPHdZ3pPDuMdY3eWR] if you are loaded and like this article in order to support some much needed higher educational reform: <sponsor>{full}.
When this kind of non-financial data is embedded into a blockchain some people called an "<inscription (blockchain)>". The study or "early" inscriptions had been called a form of "archaeology"https://docs.ordinals.com/overview.html{ref}http://blockchainarchaeology.com/{ref}. Since this is a collection of archeological artifacts, we call it a "<museum>"!

{title=My <Bitcoin inscription> museum by <Ciro Santilli>}
{description=Introductory video to this article. Edited from <Aratu Week 2024 Talk by Ciro Santilli>.}
{height=600}
One really cool thing about inscriptions is that because blockchains are huge <Merkle trees>, 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, <ordinal ruleset inscriptions> 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 that especially interest he curators may be covered, e.g. <Ordinal ruleset inscription porn> and <ordinal ASCII art inscription>.
<Hidden surprises in the Bitcoin blockchain by Ken Shirriff (2014)> 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. This analysis is also a bit more data oriented through our usage of scripting.
Artifacts can be organized in various ways:
* chronologically
* by <media type>, e.g. <images> vs <text>
* by <themes> or events, e.g. the <Prayer wars> or <Mt. Gox' shutdown>
* encoding, e.g. <AtomSea & EMBII> vs <raw images>
In this article we've done a mixture of:
* <themes>: if multiple items fall in a theme, we tend to put it there first
* then by <media type> if they don't fit any specific theme
* then by encoding
* and finally 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}
{tag=/Image}
Besides <ASCII art>, the huge majority of images is encoded with the <AtomSea & EMBII> system/format. All images in that system will be documented in that section.
= ASCII art
{c}
{parent=Images}
{tag=/ASCII art}
There are a few dozen </ASCII arts> in the blockchain.
</ASCII porn> is listed at <ASCII porn>{full}.
Almost all of them are copy pastes of stuff present elsewhere, or boring high resolution ones auto-generated from images. But hey, it's still fun to see.

TODO locate exact source photograph if one exists. The coin-like image behind them on the background appears to represent the statue of liberty.
The tip address appears to be cropped and is incorrect, ooops. 777db7bfbea2c525d5adb05a8fbf47736e2311492f4614e5d38ab199b4bbfac2 give the likely correct version of it "1MDBHLgv7WX9viRG9X4LfDQfCX8oZ9wviC".

"The Hashling" presumably refers to a cute fictional crab-like animal that somehow inhabits the alternate reality created Blockchain network's incredible hashrate. Yet another soulless <NFT> collection would later be created with that name as well: https://magiceden.io/ordinals/marketplace/hashlings[].
But that is not all! Immediately after the <ASCII art> encoded as one constant, the remaining constants of the <input script> except for the last one encode a <raw images>[raw PNG image] with a hand drawing of the creature:
\Image[https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cirosantilli/media/master/bitcoin-inscription-indexer/data/bin/a96bda1363e8968f45b05e3c1940ba37b18de53de0157d453ca9bfc44913768c.png]
The last constant is then the only thing that matters and spends the incoming output.
The ASCII art and image are also inscribed 16 more times on the blockchain: https://github.com/cirosantilli/bitcoin-inscription-indexer/blob/master/data/hashling[]. 453c9511ca76361c8c44b4302ce1b5d8d5c98a938b548478ef931baaa7d70e62 also has the image without any ASCII strings.
<Peter Todd> is the author of <Peter Todd's hash collision puzzles>. `@BraveTheWorld` is presumably https://twitter.com/BraveTheWorld[], but it is less clear what are they.

and we've decoded it manually in <Vim>.
Both blocks were mined by <AntPool>, so they weren't mining themselves to enforce ordering. So how is ordering assured? TODO are transactions actually contiguous in the block or are there other transactions interspersed? According to:
``
bitcoin-core.cli getblock 00000000000000000baf6e3006fd05a1c5dbca3d430012180f8098cbe8b8ce22
``
many of the transactions are contiguous but we haven't checked all of them.

This image was likely inscribed due to Buffet's general status as an investing God, he did not appear to have strong links to crypto at the tim, he did not appear to have strong links to crypto at the time
Interestingly, in a twist of fate, in 2018 Buffet would later come to strongly criticize cryptocurrency as "probably rat poison squared": https://finance.yahoo.com/news/warren-buffett-says-wouldnt-pay-175917403.html[]. In 2025 however it was reported that Berkshire Hathaway did invest in a crypto-related company, Nu Holdings
Change is returned towards the middle at output 545 right back to the sending address 1Jhf86XdHsAQYKRZjQ1CuJCnyUqVKnasEW, thus slightly breaking a raw non-ASCII-only dump.

The message is encoded with <OP_RETURN> payloads across multiple transactions, 40 bytes per transaction. They actually managed to upload two almost fully consecutive transaction blocks and in the correct order. Could they be miners?
Some of the payloads contain newlines, you are just supposed to paste all payloads together to form the image. Our reconstruction here is manual however, lazy to script it properly.

Is in <Dutch> of course, literally:
> skillfully regulating the order of the day
Given the date and language, it appears to be a reference to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koningsdag[Koningsdag], Dutch national holiday that celebrated the birthday of their King at the time, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willem-Alexander_of_the_Netherlands[King Willem-Alexander]. Born in 1956, he would have been turning 60 at the time, so a nice round number in 2016 when these birthday candles were <inscribed (blockchain)>.

Contains <ASCII art> of a large <letter A>. Has some custom encoding we didn't have the time to investigate which makes it deformed in our dumps, so we fixed it manually. The associated message reads:
> !Study Math and Computer Science at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augustana_College_(Illinois)[Augustana College]!
and so we understand that the <ASCII art> is formatted to look like the font of the logo of that university from <Illinois>.

<Data Insertion in Bitcoin's Blockchain by Andrew Sward, Vecna OP_0 and Forrest Stonedahl> is a paper published by some people of the university, presumably the culprits. This was brought to our attention via: https://twitter.com/ottosch_/status/1735297943563837726[].

At firs we thought it was some kind of tribute to the <#Cannes Film Festival>, but given the string "Titanium" and the fact that all people mentioned on another section of the art work for advertisement companies, we understand that it is instead almost certainly about the "<#Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity>", previously "International Advertising Festival", which has a "titanium" prize category, e.g. as mentioned at: https://www.thedrum.com/news/2018/06/22/cannes-lions-winners-titanium-glass-grand-prix-good-and-more[]:
> The highly coveted Titanium Lions - created to honor marketing work that doesn't fit neatly into traditional categories
The part with the <at signs> '@' which we believe represents the lion is the hardest one and we've perhaps gotten some lines wrong, corrections are welcome.

The actual code appears to be:

a reference to <OP_RETURN>. It is <steganographically> encoded diagonally across the skull's eyes. <Ciro Santilli> only saw this after grepping:
``
grep @ data/out/0538.txt
``
which made all non `@` signs stand out due to the terminal's syntax highligh. This image was uploaded one line per transaction with a few interruptions that we removed manually, and there were was a previous partial attempt a bit before: at tx f8102999c0aaf7681deec383eb8e7946f093e94a116a21e367e9ed6b7c32d1fb so either a failure, or maybe it was intentional to obfuscate things a bit.
