I'm minting Bitcoin White Paper on Blockchain using Ordinals NFT Protocol

[CoffeeKing001]

The project name is: qrpaper
The github link is: https://qrpaper.github.io
The twitter link is: https://twitter.com/qrpaper_sats
The discord link is: https://discord.gg/3MjNRBhuRv


bitcoin whitepaper will start inscribe from 2024/1/3 18:15:05 UTC (#BitcoinFirstBlock 15th 15th 15th years)


## Slogan
Salute to Satoshi, every blockchain project should mint their white paper on Bitcoin.

## Foreword
There is only 600 segment NFT, I want it can be hold by the most core Bitcoin users to enhance the consensus of Bitcoin, it's all free for mint. Follow the twitter and join our discord to get White List. Bitcointalk users is priority to get.

## Significance
As the earliest blockchain, Bitcoin's value mainly comes from consensus, but it is also constantly facing challenges from other public chains. In order to consolidate the value of Bitcoin, we put forward the slogan "Salute to Satoshi, every blockchain project should mint their white paper on Bitcoin", which is not only conducive to continuously strengthening the consensus of Bitcoin, but also It is beneficial for new projects to be understood and accepted by Bitcoin users.

## Introduction
qrpaper converts the white paper into a plain text markdown format,
and after splitting it into sentences, encodes each sentence into a QR code,
signs it and mints it on Bitcoin with Ordinals Protocol for permanent storage.

## Why bitcoin
1. Bitcoin is the first blockchain, it is the chain with the highest degree of consensus and the highest security
2. Bitcoin ordinals protocol, storing all of the NFT data on the blockchain, it would not be lost forever
3. Bitcoin has the largest TVL, minting your project white paper on Bitcoin is very memorable and advantageous

## Why qrpaper
1. qrpaper is the first project who helps users mint their white paper on Bitcoin use ordinals protocol
2. qrpaper optimized the NFT image generation technology, compressed the data size to the limit, it greatly reduced the mint gas
3. qrpaper use qrpaper.sats domain to sign every NFT to ensure no one can fake it
4. qrpaper split and visualized the white paper to qrcode, which has a beautiful style, it is easy to spread
5. qrpaper is governed by community through qp-dao, it's a decentralized project

## qp-dao
next, we will start the qp-dao, everyone who holds the NFT of the three core qrpaper(bitcoin, ethereum and qrpaper) will have the right to join. And you will have the benifits like airdrop, whitelist, vote and so on.

Oh, cool project! I also happen to have a few dozens of white papers from back in the old good days, I believe they were writing them in bulk for a few satoshis, even now you can buy as many as you want, after all it's a simple task of copy pasting.
I could immortalize my scam coins forever after minting them.🤣😉

Why QR codes?That seems like a bad idea. Text would be so much more effective, and it has already been done.

Why QR codes?That seems like a bad idea. Text would be so much more effective, and it has already been done.

Because, the White Paper sentence format is diverse, there have hyperlink, formula, image and so on. use pure text like loot project is not beautiful and hard to spread. Loot project has fixed fieled and the format is uniform, so it looks not confusion.

I have desiged a QR code, which embeded the big bitcoin logo into it, it looks harmonious, and every QR code has an serial number in the foot of it.

This project is the only one which could be a very first good use of the useless ordinals protocol but you still ruined the idea my friend. If its main purpose was to save their Bitcoins whitepaper on blockchain as ordinal that would be a really nice step by a community member but your idea is to mint every white paper on Bitcoin blockchain and that's really not a good thing.

There have been many scam projects in the crypto community and some of them had really good whitepapers and in coming days there will be many more such whitepapers that will be mainly focused to scam people, and now with your help they can print a copy of their useless and scamming whitepaper on our beloved Bitcoin blockchain.

With this thing people won't only save a copy of white paper but they can save many useless texts on the blockchain which is no less than a burden on the blockchain. The idea might be good but it can be used for illegal purposes.

Is this really necessary?

Thanks for your admire and your advice!

It's true that there is some scam project, qrpaper as an decentralized project, it will governed by qp-dao community, which can vote to decide to support only the project that are accepted by most of the qp-dao community. And all of the people who hold bitcoin white paper NFT can join this community and vote.

It may can not copied, because every qrpaper NFT is signed and with an unique serial number.

And it use Ordinals protocol, which can ensure the uniqueness and permanency.

[CoffeeKing001]

Who knows, but it's a good experiment. I think it's good for enhancing Bitcoin consensus and importance in the Crypo World.

Bitcoin Whitepaper does not need to be minted as a NFT. Minting NFT is non sense.

It is readable at https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf

Stop using term like Bitcoin Chain. Chain is for shit altcoins, not for Bitcoin. You can use term like Bitcoin blockchain.

Ordinal protocols, BRC20 tokens are useless.
[WARNING] Stay away from BRC-20 tokens - there are far better options

[ABCbits]

You wasted your time and money, someone already did that long time ago on TXID 54e48e5f5c656b26c3bca14a8c95aa583d07ebe84dde3b7dd4a78f4e4186e713. If you want to know how to parse it, see https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/q/35959.

Thanks for your correction of the term usage. I have corrected it.

Thanks for your sharing. It's really interesting.

But It seems it's not an NFT and it's not  vivid.

qrpaper use Ordinals protocol, and encoded every white paper sentence into a beautiful QR code, It's tradable and it's easy to spreed.

the example NFT image just like this:

you could probably store the entire whitepaper in a single ordinal. why would someone want to buy a single sentence? i think people already uploaded pdf pages of the whitepaper but not the entire pdf in a single ordinal. but i could be wrong.

What is the sense of all this? Is there a need for it? Would this initiative help Bitcoin grow? Would it boost in any way Bitcoin adoption?

As for me, I'd rather print a hard copy of the Bitcoin whitepaper. Or perhaps download it and save a copy. Or not at all. After all, the whitepaper is always available. You just have to search for it online and it is there.

As a matter of fact, to a certain extent, this whitepaper NFT is a betrayal of the whitepaper itself, of Bitcoin itself. This hampers the very function of Bitcoin as an electronic cash system.

My humble suggestion is to shelve this idea and help ease the network's traffic.

[larry_vw_1955]

probably to make money. that's why people do this type of things to sell their creations. and imagine how much money the OP could make. every sentence in the whitepaper is its own nft. how many nfts is that? 500? 1000?

My humble suggestion is to shelve this idea and help ease the network's traffic.

if the goal was to help people read the whitepaper then it definitely doesn't do that. who is going to scan the hundreds of qr codes so they can read each sentence of Satoshi's whitepaper sentence by sentence.

up next:
make a qr code for each individual satoshi on the bitcoin blockchain. and create an ordinal nft for each one   oh wait. that's impossible!

Indeed TXID i mentioned is not NFT. IMO NFT feature isn't needed when someone just need to store arbitrary data on blockchain.

qrpaper use Ordinals protocol, and encoded every white paper sentence into a beautiful QR code, It's tradable and it's easy to spreed.

If we're talking about easiness of spreading Bitcoin whitepaper, i could just share one of these links
http://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf
https://archive.is/qnVRb
https://web.archive.org/web/20100704213649/bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf

And you can even convert those link to QR code image easily with any QR code generator.

Yes, it's a good ideal, but there is mainly three reason, which cause me to split it into sentence:

1. mint the whole whitepaper by one person is too expensive
2. hold by many person may more easy to build Consensus
3. every one hold the only one unique sentence may interesting, make people have chance to communicate, which is good for build Consensus community.

Now that there Ordinals was, no one can stop people mint NFT on Bitcoin with Ordinals protocol.

you know, the image which use ordinals protocol always larger than 10KB or 100KB.

But I have optimized the qrpaper NFT image generation technology, compressed the data size to the limit, only about 1~2KB for every qrpaper NFT. It has saved so much resource of Bitcoin network's traffic.

first

We have split it into 600 Sentence now, and we may let all people mint it publicly for free.

Only 30-nfts will be reserved for bitcoin-community(15) and qp-dao building(15)

qrpaper bitcoin nft holders will have the right to join qp-dao and have the benifits like airdrop, whitelist, vote and so on.

details can be found here: https://qrpaper.github.io

second

There is so many people don't have interest to read the whitepaper.

It may be not only help people read the whitepaper, but also help people communicate the whitepaper with fun and the wealth effect.

But the most important is to build the consensus, which encourage every blockchain project mint there whitepaper on Bitcoin. It's good for Bitcoin ecology.
