This site is a hobby.
It's also a testing place where i can do things that are impossible at work.
- I like surfing and sailing on the ocean. But during longs winter nights, computing is fun. I'm interested into cryptocurrencies, computationnal art, datavisualisation. I know that 42 is the answer to the Life, Universe and Everything Else. As Eto Demerzel said to me, the Seldon's Plan will save the Galaxy. My favorites books are the House of leaves, the Necronomicron and the DarkHold. I also know that great power comes with great responsibility. I'm still in the search of Captain Zero, because the Truth is out there.
-.I'm also really astonished by Universal Numbers, aka Disjunctives Sequences. Thinking that a single number can contain every others, that's a great mystery. So I'm trying to write the Chronicles of these numbers (in french)
+What is a TOPISTO ?
++ This is generative art. + Each TOPISTO represents a block of the Bitcoin blockchain and is automatically generated by an algorithm. + It use the Bitcoin Blockchain as a source of random for drawing pictures. + To secure the transactions, each block have a hash, a cryptographic key that seals the block and will never change. + Nobody can predict the hash of the next block of the blockchain. + So nobody can know what the next picture will look like. +
++ Each picture have 3 parts. + The top strip represents the hash of the block. + It contains information like the height or the name the block. + The middle strip is the drawing. + Method, colors, thickness ... Everything depends on the transaction within the block. + The bottom strip represents the revert hash of the previous block. + So, like in the blockchain, each TOPISTO is chained to the previous one. +

Customize your TOPISTO !
++ Some blocks are special blocks. + The first block in History is at height 0, it is called the GENESIS block. + So special blocks have a name. + Block at height 42, is "THE_ANSWER", because 42 is the answer to everything ! + Each 210000 blocks, the reward is divide by 2, so those are HALVING blocks. + The fisrt real BTC transaction was to buy 2 pizzas, this transaction is in the block 57035 which is named PIZZA block. + The COVID19 pandemic kill some friend, so there is a RIP_STEEVE block. +
++ Just like me, you will be able to name a block and put it in History as an NFT. + This is not yet implemented, but it will be on this page. + Buying a TOPISTO is a way for you to help me +

R. Topisto is a Twitter Bot
++ I also create a bot (@r_topisto) that tweet the LAST TOPISTO almost every hour. + It is doing that since march 2017. + Sometimes lucky people mined block without any tranaction in it. + They only get the reward without waiting transactions to put in the block. + You can follow those events via my main twitter, @topisto_42
