Video 1. Alegria, Alegria by Caetano Veloso (1968)Source. Critique of Military dictatorship in Brazil.
- 1972
- Transa (1972) album. Literally: "The Fuck", good old seventies. Caetano himself later mentions that this is one of his own favorite albums.[ref] The album was composed when he was living in London.
Video 2. Triste Bahia by Caetano Veloso (1972)Source. Inspired by (or more likely: actually is) capoeira music.Video 3. Mora na Filosofia by Caetano Veloso (1972)Source.
Video 4. Você Não Entende Nada by Caetano Veloso (1970)Source.Amazing performance at Coliseu dos Recreios, Lisbon. 1981. Discogs says original album is Legal (1970), but wiki page and photos of back disagree...This song talks about a man's mixed desires to remain with his partner and also escape to adventure. It contains one of the most amazing sexual innuendo ever recorded: the man describes foods that his partner will serve him, and the he endlessly eats and eats and eats:translation:eu como, eu como, eu como, você [... huge intentional pause ...] não está entendendo quase nada do que eu digo.
which makes it unclear "you" is part of "I eat you" (to eat (comer) is a slang for fucking), or if "you" is part of the next sentence.I eat, I eat, I eat, you [... huge intentional pause ...] don't understand anything that I'm saying.
Video 5. Partido Alto by Caetano Veloso (1972)Source. Atheism song (theodicy)! Lyrics by Chico Buarque, but Ciro Santilli prefers this interpretation. From the 1972 "Caetano E Chico Juntos E Ao Vivo" joint album with Chico Buarque.
- 1975 Qualquer coisa album
Video 6. Qualquer Coisa by Caetano Veloso (1975)Source.Video 7. Samba e Amor by Caetano Veloso (1975)Source. Cover from original song by Chico Buarque, original album Chico Buarque de Hollanda - Nº4. Desperately reminds Ciro of his University day weekend nights. Except that there was no Samba. And little Amor. Mostly a silent and wholesome loneliness and emulation.Video 8. Georde de Capadócia by Caetano Veloso (1975)Source.Composed by Jorge Ben, but this interpretation is remarkable. corpo fechado (closed body) style song. This idea is much linked to Capoeira/African religion idea. E.g. a more traditional capoeira corpo fechado song: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfd9j6XFmSgVideo 9. Coricos' prayer scene from Black God, White Devil (1964)Source. This shows an Amazing corpo fechado scene from an amazing old black an white Brazilian film.
- 1976 Doces Bárbaros (1976) album
Video 10. Um Índio by Caetano Veloso (1976)Source. Recording from 1992. Also appeared in the Bicho (1977) album. - 1977 Bicho (1977)
- 1978 album Muito (Dentro da Estrela Azulada)
Video 12. Sampa by Caetano Veloso (1978)Source."Sampa" is an affectionate slang for São Paulo City. The song perfectly captures the city, and reminds Ciro so badly of his University days there.Video 13. Terra by Caetano Veloso (1978)Source.Ciro used to watch a television nature show called "Planeta Terra" in the legendary TV Cultura with his parents in the couch when he was young, and under a duvet when it was a bit cold. Those days were the best. The narrator's lady voice was particularly soothing, and would easily put you in a kind of sleepy trance, her name is Valéria GrilloTODO what was the original show exactly? Here is a sample: www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNwfYEMdrRU Very likely just a translation of some British nature show with a custom Brazilian intro and presenter. Credits at end mention English narrator: "Eugene Fraser", and "Thirteen WNET Nature" production, which produced Nature (1982) that ran since 1982, making that a likely candidate. - 1980
Video 14. Menino do Rio by Caetano Veloso (1980)Source. Apparently served as inspiration for the Menino do Rio (1980) movie, which is silly, but a worthwhile record of the times. - 1984 Velô (1984)
Video 15. O Quereres by Caetano Veloso (1984)Source. Notable quote from the chorus that is often in Ciro's mind:translation:Ah, bruta flor, do querer
Oh, brute flower of the wanting
They appear to be included, with rationale that you can already include syntactically valid crap in an unprovable way: github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/320 Better then have syntactically invalid crap that is provable.
The outputs of this transaction seem to be the first syntactically incorrect scripts of the blockchain: blockchain.info/tx/ebc9fa1196a59e192352d76c0f6e73167046b9d37b8302b6bb6968dfd279b767?format=json, found by parsing everything locally. The transaction was made in 2013 for 0.1 BTC, which then became unspendable.
Cool data embedded in the Bitcoin blockchain by

Ciro Santilli 35 Updated 2025-04-24 +Created 1970-01-01This is a collection of cool data found in the Bitcoin blockchain using techniques mentioned at: Section "How to extract data from the Bitcoin blockchain". Notably, Ciro Santilli developed his own set of scripts at github.com/cirosantilli/bitcoin-inscription-indexer to find some of this data. This article is based on data analyzed up to around block 831k (February 2024).
Drop some Bitcoins at 3KRk7f2JgekF6x7QBqPHdZ3pPDuMdY3eWR if you are loaded and like this article in order to support some much needed higher educational reform: Section "Sponsor Ciro Santilli's work on OurBigBook.com".
When this kind of non-financial data is embedded into a blockchain some people called an "inscription". The study or "early" inscriptions had been called a form of "archaeology"[ref][ref]. Since this is a collection of archeological artifacts, we call it a "museum"!
One really cool thing about inscriptions is that because blockchains are huge Merkle trees, it is impossible to censor any one inscription without censoring the entire blockchain. It is also really cool to see people treating the Bitcoin blockchain basically like a global social media feed!
Starting on December 2022, ordinal ruleset inscriptions took the bitcoin blockchain by storm, and dwarfed in volume all other previous inscriptions. This museum focuses mostly on non-ordinals, though certain specific ordinal topics that especially interest he curators may be covered, e.g. Ordinal ruleset inscription porn and ordinal ASCII art inscription.
Hidden surprises in the Bitcoin blockchain by Ken Shirriff (2014) is a mandatory precursor to this article and contains the most interesting examples of the time. But much happened since Ken's article which we try to cover. This analysis is also a bit more data oriented through our usage of scripting.
Artifacts can be organized in various ways:In this article we've done a mixture of:
- chronologically
- by media type, e.g. images vs text
- by themes or events, e.g. the Prayer wars or Mt. Gox' shutdown
- encoding, e.g. AtomSea & EMBII vs raw images
Who said it was easy to be a museum curator!
Superconducting Quantum Interference Device by Felipe Contipelli (2019)
Source. Good intuiotionistic video. Some points deserved a bit more detail.Mishmash of SQUID interviews and talks by Bartek Glowaki
. Source. The videos come from: www.ascg.msm.cam.ac.uk/lectures/. Vintage.
One of the segments is by John Clarke.
An experimental lab video for COVID-19 lockdown. Thanks, COVID-19. Presented by a cute and awkward Adam Stewart.
Uses a SQUID device and control system made by STAR Cryoelectronics. We can see Mr. SQUID EB-03 written on the probe and control box, that is their educational product.
As mentioned on the Mr. SQUID specs, it is a high-temperature superconductor, so liquid nitrogen is used.
He then measures the I-V curve on an Agilent Technologies oscilloscope.
Unfortunately, the video doesn't explain very well what is happening behind the scenes, e.g. with a circuit diagram. That is the curse of university laboratory videos: some of them assume that students will have material from other internal sources.
- youtu.be/ql2Yo5LgU8M?t=211 shows the classic voltage oscillations, presumably on a magnetic field sweep, and then he puts a magnet next to the device from outside the Dewar
- youtu.be/ql2Yo5LgU8M?t=253 demonstrates the formation of Shapiro steps. Inserts a Rohde & Schwarz signal generator into the Dewar to vary the flux. The result is not amazing, but they are visible somewhat.
