I made a Blockchain
Cryptocurrency is our future, there's no doubt about it. So I set out to make my own Blockchain, which required mining some coin, which I call JimCoin™. Some smart people invested early and before long the chain was growing.
After 24 hours we had over 50 investors including some Big Names. This Blockchain is still growing by the hour, there's no telling how big this bubble will get. I don't know where this will take me, but I know I finally have an answer to this question.

Can I become an "investor" by asking here? I don't use my twitter account anymore.
(This made me laugh today and I needed it; thank you, bondcliff. If this is the dumbest thing you've ever done and it's brightened the day for me (and others), then I say: please keep doing dumb things.)

I'm proud and honored to be part of the blockchain.

Also, the only block chain that I'd recommend storing alongside with a fire extinguisher...

P.S. I really need to get one of those eyebolt screwing bits. I had a hell of a time putting bolts in my cathedral ceiling for hanging plants earlier this year.

Btw I do think it's important to mention that bondcliff is running an auction to benefit Planned Parenthood as part of this project, which is pretty cool.

You really need to fork it.

I don't know what that means.
I don't, either. I was just hoping you'd add a fork.

I've ended the "just say so and I'll add you" period because I don't really want to spend the rest of my life cutting wood, screwing in eye screws, and linking them with chain. Not for nothing, anyway. I'm offering standard and upgraded blocks for a small fee, to pay for the supplies and my time, but mostly to end the madness.
This seems like an actual physical metaphor for the evolution of the MeFi membership policy.

Dang it, I missed the #69 auction!!!
Is it still possible to get in on the (real hardwood) floor of JimCoin? I’d be happy to make a donation for an upgrade. I have an idea for a block, too, if you’re willing.
Please memail me if you’re still interested in continuing this insane project. :)
