Last week I extracted that image from the original binary and inscribed it on the Bitcoin blockchain using the Ordinals protocol (#96901750).
Why post it here?
• It’s an example of re-contextualising early malware as digital art.
• Everything (report, source binary, inscription TX) is public, so you can verify the provenance end-to-end.
• It touches a lot of HN interests: software archaeology, Bitcoin internals, NFT standards, and long-term data preservation.
