Its ready for you to spend .00000001 bitcoin to vote (we'll count by people, not by money, which will require a decentralized web of trust as I'll explain below), as the existing Bitcoin and optionally Bittorrent for uploading and voting on files whenever it starts working again.

I have been discovering 8-bit music and "Chiptunes" (music made for the sounds on specific microchips) on the web. There is a musical style, visual aesthetic, and consistent mentality to the whole thing. Also, artists' interests appear to be generational.
