Ciro Santilli 37 Updated 2025-07-16 +Created 1970-01-01"AtomSea & EMBII" refers to an upload system for various media types includeing text, images, HTML pages and audio.
The name "AtomSea & EMBII" is a reference to the online handles of its creators. That string appears to be added as padding in the protocol and is therefore visible repeatebly in the blockchain, though it is sometimes cut up a bit. The following online profiles of the creators feel authentic:
Tried saying hi to them at: twitter.com/cirosantilli/status/1382080760774033415 and they replied: twitter.com/AllenVandever/status/1563964396656812034
The feature-set of their protocol is impressive:Basically they've created a fully descentralized Bitcoin-based social media. Their system is basically a sligly more clunky superset of Ordinal ruleset inscriptions, just way older and way less known for whatever reason.
- various media formats:
- multipage setups:

SIGNED BYwith EMBII's photo! This feature was added in January 2015[ref]- For example, this lists the buy and sell orders for Figure "
YellowRobot.jpg": p2fk.io/GetObjectByAddress/17mdB8cVCQVhBi46bF43JpniZ4DAgE3JjH?mainnet=true&verbose=trueThe NFT system was retroactively added on top of signatures, it didn't exist at the time signatures were added. The first listing was made on December 2023[ref]:Inscriptions without signature such as those from before signatures were added can be claimed by the first person who claims them without any cryptographic proof[ref]:unsigned URN can be claimed and traded by the first who try they are basically free for all public domain

- tooling:
- bitfossil.org is an indexer website for the inscriptions. For example bitfossil.org/67b2facfd8160d4fa11b02829b6387d07537b57a7a24f19b029b2a5ae7b81830/ displays Figure "
YellowRobot.jpg" which was inscribed at toplevel transaction tx 67b2facfd8160d4fa11b02829b6387d07537b57a7a24f19b029b2a5ae7b81830. Functionality seems a bit limited compared to the local clients however, e.g. you can't see all uploades by a given author. - apertus.io/ TODO vs Sup? At x.com/EMBII4U/status/1929498259883536886 EMBII tries to explain it but not sure.
Each P2FK inscription is done over P2FKH payloads. Each inscription a toplevel transaction which links to other transactions. All the linked transactions together make up the payload. The most common payload type is a text plus image, as is the case of Nelson-Mandela.jpg, which can be seen at bitfossil.com/78f0e6de0ce007f4dd4a09085e649d7e354f70bc7da06d697b167f353f115b8e/ where
78f0e6de0ce007f4dd4a09085e649d7e354f70bc7da06d697b167f353f115b8e is the toplevel transaction ID: www.blockchain.com/btc/tx/78f0e6de0ce007f4dd4a09085e649d7e354f70bc7da06d697b167f353f115b8e See Section "Nelson-Mandela.jpg" for a detailed reverse engineering of the format, and Section "AtomSea & EMBII data format" for a summary of it.The system shows the messages and the images on a single page: bitfossil.org/4cbb32cd27b5b5edc12d3559bdffc1355ac2a210463d5cfaadc7ce9b06675b2b/index.htm It is basically a blockchain-based Twitter.

Closed access academic journals are evil by Ciro Santilli 37 Updated 2025-07-16 +Created 1970-01-01
Ciro Santilli 37 Updated 2025-07-16 +Created 1970-01-01You are nothing but useless leeches in the Internet age.
You must go bankrupt all of you, ASAP.
Researchers and reviewers all work for peanuts, while academic publishers get money for doing the work that an algorithm could do. OurBigBook.com.
When Ciro learned URLs such as www.nature.com/articles/181662a0 log you in automatically by IP, his mind blew! The level of institutionalization of this theft is off the charts! The institutionalization of theft is also clear from article prices, e.g. 32 dollars for a 5 page article.
Long live the Guerilla Open Access Manifesto by Aaron Swartz (2008).
Key physics papers from the 50's are still copyright encumbered as of 2020, see e.g. Lamb-Retherford experiment. Authors and reviewers got nothing for it. Something is wrong.

- blog.machinezoo.com/public-domain-theft by Robert Važan:
Scientific journals are perhaps one of the most damaging IP rackets. Scientists are funded by governments to do research and publish papers. Reviews of these papers are done by other publicly funded scientists. Even paper selection and formatting for publication is done by scientists. So what do journals actually do? Nearly nothing.
Academic Publishing by Dr. Glaucomflecken (2022)
Source. "Barys" means "heavy" in Greek, because protons and neutrons was what made most of the mass of known ordinary matter, as opposed notably to electrons.
Baryons can be contrasted with:
- mesons, which have an even number of elementary particles. The name meson comes from "medium" since their most common examples have two quarks rather than three as the most common baryons such as protons. So they have less mass than a proton, but more than an electron, this medium mass.
- leptons, which are much lighter particles such as the electron. "Leptos" means "fine, small, thin".
