I think that the following data is some of the most beautiful ever created.
See if you can figure out why.
When you figure it out, post some nice proof for everyone.
I'll give hints as time goes by.

Wanna gimme some BTC/BCH for any or no reason? 1FmvtS66LFh6ycrXDwKRQTexGJw4UWiqDX Smiley

The more you believe in Bitcoin, and the more you show you do to other people, the faster the real value will soar!

No it's not pi.

third hint (which I assumed was obvious from my first hint):
error was 99% of the way there, but may not have used the right method to test his hypothesis

I just tested out what I posted, and it is all intact.

GreenSky, I think you think it is the most beautiful data ever created because beauty is in the eye/ear of the beholder.

Proofs>

Although beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, the feeling of being beautiful exists solely in the mind of the beheld.

Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart
~ Kahlil Gibran~

and the coup de tate

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder."
 ~Plato ~

So that is why I think you think it is the most beautiful.

PS. Want us to solve the puzzle, that obviously will take time and effort. How much BTC are you offering?  I am a capitalist.  Grin

Dunno. I tried a couple of trackers and all I got was silence. Are you sure that file is right? Or maybe it's intended to be silence?
