Love silly stuff? Love LeoFinance? You'll not sleep if you dont see this post

Hello LBIer's

Today we are going to have a little bit of silly fun. Writing posts about stats and LBI is cool and stuff but sometimes we need to be silly and do something different to stand out, something that can engage with more than just our beloved LBI tokens holders.

I was reading through's @hetty-rowan's post from 2-3 days back (Rising Or Falling Star?) and it took me a while to read through the 3100 words she had written. Anyways, just after finishing the post, I went into one of many daily daydreams. I was thinking, what is my longest ever post and then what is the longest post by word count on HIVE? Weird thing to think about but I had an idea.

I was talking to Hetty on DM's and after I awoke from my daydream I floated an idea by her, she liked it and here we are, im sharing the idea for feedback.

I can not find the longest post by word count, asked around LeoFinace server, even google searched it. I know someone could find it out exactly but I dont have the skills and I found something even better.

(snap shot from hive.blog)

Whats "about" mean? Is it 64,002? moving on...

Who wants to break the blockchain?

Ok, ok, so we cant break the blockchain but we could do something awesome and collectively create a 64,002 character post. Told you it was a silly idea but.....pretty cool? I think you'll agree that being part of the biggest ever post on LeoFinace is a small milestone and deserves some sort of reward badge (There are no badges, dont ask)

I'll not talk about the interaction with new users and promotion LBI will get from this but hey, what's good for LEO is good for us. Remember this for later on.

How to make a 64,000 character post?

  • 64,000 characters divided by 200 people is 320 characters per person.

  • Google in the UK (proper English) says the average word contains 4.7 characters, we add 1 on for the space to get 5.7

  • 320 characters dividend by 5.7 is roughly 56 words

64000/5.7 = 11,228 words
200 people adding 56 words each is 11,200 words total

Content

Up to you my friends. We can split into 3 sections to write about. Pick your favourite.

1/ Write something brief about LeoFinace
2/ Make a prediction (about anything) and use the post as a store of evidence so when it comes true, you have a URL to show you're a genius.
3/ Leave a short message for your 3-year future self

How to take part?

Not in this post, in another post released next Thursday because I already have content for tomorrow and Saturday is earnings and holdings report day. So you remember I said what's good for LEO is good for us. Yeah, so...your gonna have to pay to take part in this. More of a donation, let me explain. We are going to do this awesome thing, why not add a cherry on top?

To take part will cost you a minimum of 1 LEO token, there is no limit to how much to can send to take part, 1, 5, 24.712, 100 LEO all accepted. All LEO tokens received from this silly adventure will be burned, sent to @null, goodnight, RIP.

LBI will offer prizes for the top 3 donations and we will not be reporting who has sent what to add to the fun. I had thought about rankings messages by donation size to milk it but that would a/ not be fair to everyone and b/ require more work from me. Im a lazy man guys so top 3 will win something!

Top Donator wins 15 LBI token
Second, win 10 LBI tokens
Third, win 5 LBI token

They are not huge prizes but enough for people to maybe snipe each other in the final days trying to grab the prize. haha.

How will it work? (roughly)

  • I'll put out a post detailing everything next Thursday
  • For 1 week, we collect people's 56-word messages in the comments of that post
  • People can make their donation anytime within those 7 days
  • Your 56-word message and donation do not need to be at the same time, it'll not be checked until after 7 days and the post pays out.

If we collect enough messages, I copy/paste all the messages into a post and upload it.

If we do not collect enough messages 1st time, we post until collect around 200. A goal is a goal, no?

After the 64k character post is upload, we BURN all the LEO donated and give ourselves a pat on the back for a job well done. I send myself an email to receive in 3 years to remind me to upload a post today (in 3 years) showing all the predictions and all the 3 year future self messages.

It'll be funny to look back on because what I was doing and predicting 3 years ago was wrong, haha. and it's good to laugh at ourselves sometimes.

What do ya think?

good? bad? waste of time? won't work? stupid? ...genius?

I think I read somewhere that blocks in Hive chain are max 64Kb.
If every byte is a possible character that would mean 65536 characters.
So you'll need an additional 6 people writing the 56 words.

Someone said to me about that on discord. By the time we add in pictures, intro and formatting we'll use another 1500.

Thanks for the heads up :)

Just checking you aren't suffering from lock down fever or something. Not sure what to make of this as it sounds quite nuts. Sometimes nuts works though so who am I to call this idea crazy.

I have moments of genius, some people cant see it, some people dont want to. You'll get used to it after i do 3-4 silly things like this. Just trying to think outside the box

and yes, im bored in the house.

Seems like a pretty cool idea to me. I think I would shoot for 65,000 characters just to make sure that you are above that "about" 64,000 range. I look forward to throwing some thoughts out there next week.

"Love silly stuff?" silly stuff is in my DNA :) but I have to wonder why are you burning the donations, you could power them up or something

Why not burn them, it'll only amount to 300-400 LEO in the end. We'll earn our prize giveaways back to the post payout :) Plus is good promo for LBI with the LEO team :)

I mean I've been hustling for almost 2 months to gather 300 Leo, and to see that amount burned is perplexing :P. Or maybe I don't get how burning works. Also you could donate some it, just saying :D

Silly idea but I love it haha.
The silent auction type is a very good idea but how silent could it be on the blockchain ?
A patient guy might check all the donations sent to the receiver account and place his bet just right on time with the right amount, am I correct ?

Yep, you can use hivestats to track it. That would be known as giving yourself an edge. Im fully aware that people will search the transactions, im banking on it and that will we can offer a few small prizes to top donators. Also the reason why your message and donation do not need to be sent at the same time.

Have fun :)

Exactly, why not?

A little bit fun, little bit of promoting LBI, little bit of burning LEO. It's got everything!!!

Thanks for your support my friend

This is actually a super cool way to prove the strength o the LEO community. I think it's such an awesome thing to do. Everyone can add a little bit of value and with enough people it gets massive.

PS: I Love this video:

Sounds interesting. I don't mind participating so I will try to think of a good 56 word comment for next week. Does it actually break the system or not is an interesting question.

Nah, i think we can basically fill one block. If it's to long, it wont upload.

Think how crazy it would be if this were the case and we broke the blockchain wiping out tens of millions of dollars killing LEO in the process, baaa-ahaha

It sure is interesting as I didn't know about the block limit before this post.

That would be interesting but sad for all of at the same time. Though I think LEO would be fine as it is a secondary token so it would be on HE and not HIVE.

Just a guess, but I believe you'll receive an error something like "post too long" and you won't be able to post until you delete enough to make it below the limit.

Either that or it will be truncated.

Sorry to be a fun buster. :D

Nah, i think your right. I dont even think is it 64k, it think it's a few thousand extra. We'll find out as i'll push it to the limit to ensure we have the longest post we can.

If we could fill a whole block, we could name the LBI block :)

As an exercise that will be fun. And there might be differences among interfaces too, some may impose the limit sooner than others. Because it also depends on how they write the post to the blockchain, if they add anything extra by themselves either visible (like Leofinance adds the link to the app) or not.

I am not sure your plan will work. The limit, (I think), is for each post, and a comment is a post. There is a post with a comment that exceeded the 64,000 limit out there, and then a second comment on the same post was made about maxing out his comment character allowance. I do not remember if it was steem or hive however.

Still it will be fun to do.

A comment is its own post on a different block in the future after the post is uploaded.

Thanks for your feedback.

Genius - in three years we can all kick ourselves for the fiat value of Leo we burn.

And then we can laugh about it cause we still have a bunch of Leo left.

Quite a crazy thought but full of fun. Let's do it. It's not bad to see how our blockchain would react so such massive union.
