How I Filled the Three Largest Blocks in History with Thousands of Button Swipes

Allow me to have my moment of glory. For a brief period in early 2019, I single-handedly filled the three largest blocks in history by swiping Money Button lots of times in a row. My photos of Potrero Hill are going to go down in history as the first full high-resolution photo gallery on the blockchain. I swiped a 113 MB block, a 124 MB block, and even a maximum-sized 128 MB block with one hand!

This isn’t going to last long. By the end of the year we are going to create gigabyte-sized blocks. It will not be possible for me to fill those by swiping Money Button myself with one hand. It will come from a combination of user growth and automated tooling. Those blocks will contain data from lots of different people.

But not yet. For now, the three largest blocks in history contain, almost exclusively, my personal photos. I swiped those!

The movies tell us some kind of terrible disaster is going to destroy San Francisco. I have personally guaranteed a record of this moment in time will be preserved for all history on the blockchain, before it was destroyed. My photos of Potrero Hill may be the only thing left of San Francisco in the future. You’re welcome.

“What did the Golden Gate Bridge look like?”

“We don’t know. He didn’t take a photo of that. But there are thousands of photos of Potrero Hill.”

Probably for the good of humanity we need to start getting more photos of everything on the blockchain as quickly as possible. Things will be destroyed and we won’t have a record of them anymore, unless we put them on the blockchain. Then we have an immutable record for all history. The more photos we put on the blockchain, the more we can rest assured that this moment is preserved. It costs money, but it’s worth it for important things.

A Photo Gallery of Alexandria that can never be burned down.

Here are the blocks:
