Messages from the Mines is an interactive art installation that excavates and interprets custom messages embedded in the Bitcoin blockchain. The distributed ledger contains hidden love messages, cryptic poems, ASCII art, signatures, eulogies and more. These messages are a creative misuse of the Bitcoin transaction protocol, a form of digital graffiti, unique—though overlooked—cultural artifacts forever embedded in one of the most contemporary digital technologies.
