Hopefully I won’t break it.
[/quote]I hope I do break it because that’s what beta testing is.
Really, Tuck, how much did you donate to get so much love? :p I thought I read that there was >500 FTC that Kev was using for testing and re-dispersing and I know 100 of it came from me and some other user matched it.

Look, this is going to be beta quality software. Period. I mean I’ve not even done unpublished expiration. You can break this 60 days from Sunday if you’re clever. You could spam the blockchain with Junk if you wanted to. It would cost you, but you could do it.
I’m trusting a select group to do the right thing. If you’ve donated, you’ll get the link to Link. If you post it on the forums, the secret will be out and you’ll ruin the exclusivity. I ask you don’t do that. If you click the publish button 666 gazillion times, you’ll fill up the HD with unpublished information. I ask you don’t do that. If you even try and send the payment in multiple transactions adding up to the final amount and there’s not another coin in there to send it, it’ll break. It needs whole spends equal to or greater than the amount to spend. It’ll break all over the place.
I want to make this really clear ahead of time: [b]It WILL lose your coins[/b]. I don’t plan on returning them, even if the data never posts. When it works, it is destroying them, and giving them away as miners fee. I’m sorry in advance for all the bugs, and for your lost coins. As way of consolation, I’ll use whatever I sweep up off the floor to fix the bugs that caused to you lose them in the first place. This comes with zero warranty except the following: I’ll do my best to not make a total ass-hat of myself. All other illusions about quality should be dispelled now.
I estimate the average cost to be less than 1 FTC.
The fee breakdown is as follows:
15 bytes = 0.00000001 data encode + 0.005 miners fee.
That means that for a message with 700 bytes (which approximates to a name, a magnet link, a 100 word description, and 5 keywords), the cost will be 0.94000047. That’s 0.00000047 coins destroyed, 0.94 for miners, and 0 for me. This is of course trivial to verify in the blockchain.

why dose it cost so much can’t anyone already embed any message on any blockchain simply by pushing the appropriate tx, each TX has loads of extra space for meta data, no?
