Ordinal ASCII:

An Early Ordinal Collection Celebrating The ASCII Character Encoding

"A masterpiece of minimalism."

About the collection

Tucked within the first 100,000 inscriptions (between inscription numbers 75,172 and 76,222) is a historic collection of 128 digital artifacts corresponding to the most enduring of all information encodings: The 7-bit ASCII Character Encoding.

No content-type is more universal than plain text, and no character encoding has stood the test of time like ASCII. Who among us can be so sure that JPEG and PNG aren't this era's 8-track cassettes and compact discs? Just as the Bitcoin blockchain will endure forever, so to will ASCII.

Distribution/Mint: Proof of Inscription

Proof of Inscription

We define "Proof of Inscription" broadly as any distribution system that relies on ordinal inscriptions as proof that a distribution has occurred in accordance with a predefined set of rules. We posit that Ordinal ASCII is the first ordinal collection to be distributed via Proof of Inscription.

Rules

This collection will be distributed according to the following rules:
  1. The distribution will commence at block height 777,777.
  2. A maximum of 7 Ordinal ASCII will be distributed per block.
  3. If there are more than 7 attempts to mine an Ordinal ASCII within a given block, only the first 7 according to transaction order within the block will be awarded an Ordinal ASCII. All other mining attempts within the block will be rejected.
  4. Each Ordinal ASCII maps to a Taproot address. The mapping is inscribed at Inscription #159822. The Ordinal ASCII shall be awarded to the address inscribed in the first inscription sent to the mapped address according to these rules.

Example

In this example, we will walk through trying to mine Ordinal ASCII X.
  1. Inscribe the address you want the ordinal sent to (example).
  2. Lookup up the address mapped to Ordinal ASCII X in the list at the bottom of this page (also inscribed here). The btcaddress is bc1pr.....zvxj5.
  3. Send the inscription you created in the first step to the address mapped to X: ord wallet send --fee-rate put_fee_rate_here bc1pr.....zvxj5 put_inscription_from_first_step_here.
