============================
A SECRET DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
============================
SITUATION:
The ecosystem, a barren wasteland.
A trial not of our choosing.
Yet here we stand — undaunted, unbroken.
We are believers in the twin pillars of Runes and Ordinals,
Bound by a faith that echoes through the ages.
Like those who faced the darkest hours before us,
We shall not flag nor fail.
Together, united in purpose and resolve,
We shall rise from the forge — reborn, stronger,
A phoenix soaring from these ashes.
Season 2 presses onward, and we have charted the course.
With malice toward none, with charity for all,
Let us strive on to finish the work we are in.
Whispers swirl of grand machines and towering tech.
Speculation forging castles in the air.
Let us set the forge straight:
Our strength lies not in some mythic contraption,
But in the craft of what is real:
Ingots, tempered by time and trust.
Not fantasies of unreachable dimensions.
The work hums on, grounded and true, on Bitcoin.
We are pursuing a legacy, etched in blocks; and with patience,
We temper the steel.
In the shimmer of the fire's full bloom, we hold fast.
We do not bend to the whims of the wind.
We wield our own hammer, striking our own rhythm.
These rules are ours to shape and ours alone.
This forge answers to none other.
Now, in our Advanced Factory, a rare stockpile of phantom ingots
Is taking shape — smelted from unseen alloys - glowing with promise.
They are being hammered out, piece by piece, ready to roll out
From our Advanced Distribution Centers
To those who choose to play.
SECRETS:
Since the halving, RSIC miners have been hashing secrets.
From block 888,888, Runecoin will also do the same.
If activated.
Accumulated secrets stack.
In time, secrets will reveal their purpose,
To those who stay in the game.
A snapshot of all secrets stacked thus far
Was taken at block 888,888 and will be inscribed.
RULES OF THE GAME:
1. [DURATION] Season 2 started on Bitcoin block 840,000;
and will cease on a designated Bitcoin block ("Block F"),
which will be announced via an inscription on Sat 4703400000000.
The announcement will be made at least 8,888 blocks prior to Block F.
2. [HASHING] Each active RSIC hashes secrets for its holder.
An RSIC is considered "active"
if it has been transferred at least once.
Every block, 21 secrets stack for every active RSIC held.
3. [RARITY] Every block, additional secrets stack
for every "hash-aligned" RSIC held. An RSIC is "hash-aligned"
if its type matches the last hexadecimal digit of that block’s hash,
as per the alignment table from Season 1.
Alignment is indicated by the RSIC type turning orange during a block.
Additional secrets
for each hash-aligned RSIC
on a given block
is calculated thus:
21,000 × 21 ÷ {n}
WHERE {n} = the total number of hash-aligned RSICS in that block.
4. [RUNECOIN] Runecoin can begin hashing secrets
no earlier than Bitcoin block 888,888.
To activate Runecoin, a holder must perform a self-send,
transferring Runecoin where both the
sender and recipient addresses are identical.
Every block,
8 secrets stack
for every whole multiple of 88,888 activated RC
held by an address.
For example:
- 8 activated RC yields 0 secrets
- 88,888 activated RC yields 8 secrets
- 100,000 activated RC yields 8 secrets
- 177,776 activated RC yields 16 secrets, and so on.
5. [CHAOS] When Block F is announced, chaos begins.
It will continue until Block F (8,888 blocks in total).
6. [STACKING] Stacked secrets are cumulative.
The more RSICs and Runecoin an address holds,
the more secrets it stacks.
Providing the RSICs or RCs are activated.
There is no upper limit to stacking per address.
7. [CHOICES] Holders of RSICs and Runecoin have two options:
(1) hash, or (2) fade.
8. [VIBE]
The factory hums. The ingots glow.
We grow together. Or not at all.
Good luck players, and enjoy the game.
