Constant bragging about being the whole network and consistently talking about how easy an attack would be...  At least if it does happen we all know would have done it!!!   I can name three people that I think would do that including and especially your self!

n4ru has built up a solid reputation on the mcxnow chatbox as an annoying bragger who exaggerates a lot.

So I discovered the hidden -dedication parameter, and encoded a short message into block 86043 which I mined. I've verified the message is in the blockchain by grepping through the primecoin blockchain files on a few other machines. Is there any proper way to view these messages (such as to check for more in other blocks)? Or do I need to build my own blockchain parser for this?

(EDIT: I tried the linux strings utility. I only see the original block's message, and my own's message. Guess no one else has done this.)

(EDIT2: I tried the strings utility on Bitcoin's blockchain. Doesn't look like stuffing information into a blockchain is that unique of a prank, drat.)

A bit late to hop on that bandwagon, ey?

Seems the rush to buy is over. Now just have to wait for the difficulty to decrease and I will get back on it.

Same settings so difrenf results... What a holyshit it is?

What happened?

I put messages inside two of the blocks I mined. Sunny King's primecoin genesis block and a block by XertoV also had messages in them. You can see them in the blockchain by running "strings -n 16 ~/.primecoin/blocks/blk00000.dat" on a Linux machine for example. (You also get a few lines of gibberish, which I'm not sure if they are intentional.) I don't think there currently exists an easy way to inspect the messages further, such as to find what block they're in.
