The Geophysical Institute is typically an academic or research institution focused on the study of various geophysical phenomena, which may include areas such as geology, meteorology, oceanography, and seismology. These institutes are often affiliated with universities and conduct research, provide education, and develop technologies related to Earth sciences.

The Decennial Mineral Exploration Conferences are events that typically occur every ten years, focusing on the latest advancements, research, techniques, and practices in mineral exploration and mining. These conferences bring together geologists, geophysicists, mining engineers, environmental scientists, and industry professionals to share knowledge, discuss trends, and explore innovations in the field of mineral exploration. Usually, these conferences involve presentations, panel discussions, workshops, and networking opportunities.

The China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) is a major research facility located in Dongguan, Guangdong Province, China. It is designed for conducting advanced neutron scattering experiments, which are vital for a range of scientific fields, including materials science, biology, chemistry, and physics. The CSNS operates using a technique called spallation, where neutrons are produced by bombarding a target material (often made of heavy metals like tungsten or mercury) with high-energy protons.

In the context of National Physical Laboratory (NPL) measurement science, "Time" refers to precise timekeeping and measurements related to time standards. The NPL is known for its work in developing and maintaining national measurement standards, including time and frequency standards. MSF (Master Standard Frequency) is a time signal transmitted by the National Physical Laboratory in the UK, which provides accurate time and frequency information to users.

Dubna is a city in Russia, located about 125 kilometers northeast of Moscow, on the banks of the Volga River. It is known primarily for hosting the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR), an international research organization that conducts scientific research in nuclear physics and related fields. JINR was established in 1956 and has played a significant role in various scientific discoveries and collaborations, bringing together scientists from multiple countries.

This is a term invented by Ciro Santilli, and refers to a loose set of uncommon Bitcoin inscription methods that involve inscribing one or a small number of payloads per Bitcoin transaction.

These methods are both inefficient and hard to detect and decode, partly because Bitcoin Core does not index spending transactions: bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/61794/bitcoin-rpc-how-to-find-the-transaction-that-spends-a-txo. This makes finding them all that more rewarding however.

On the other hand, they do have the advantage of not depending on any block size limits, as their individual transactions are very small.

Inscribing anything large would however take a very long time, as you'd have to wait until the previous payload chunk is confirmed before going to the next one. This alone makes the format impractical perhaps.

This was getting very hot as of 2022 for some reason. Would be good to understand why besides the awesome name.

Cryptocurrency with focus on anonymity. Was almost certainly the leading privacy coin since its inception until as of writing in the 2020s.

Ciro Santilli has received and held considerable quantities of Monero, notably 1000 Monero donation. so bias alert.

As mentioned at Section "Are cryptocurrencies useful?", Ciro Santilli believes that anonymity is the most valuable feature that really matters on crypto coins, and therefore if he were to invest in crypto, he would invest in Monero or some other privacy coin.

localmonero.co/knowledge/monero-stealth-addresses?language=en gives an overview of the privacy mechanisms:

Based on en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CryptoNote and like Satoshi Nakamoto created by under the pseudonym "Nicolas van Saberhagen" www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/7v2obe/offering_a_bounty_for_a_video_of_the_speech_by/

Coinbase has actually stayed away from trading it even as of 2019 when Monero was the third largest market capitalization crypto because of fear of regulatory slashback: decrypt.co/36731/heres-why-coinbase-still-hasnt-listed-monero. Although it must be said, the value of privacy crypto is greatly reduced when everyone is trading it on exchanges, which require a passport upload to work.
