About this artifact

FoldingCoin (FLDC) rewards contributors to the Folding@home distributed-computing project with a Counterparty token, created by Robert Ross. This bare-multisig Counterparty issuance at block 309,199 is the asset's on-chain genesis; the project's public launch and distribution followed in September 2014, and FLDC later re-issued and migrated to OP_RETURN encoding. Counterparty payloads are obfuscated, so the contents are identified from the Counterparty protocol rather than read directly from the transaction.

How it was stored

Bare multisig outputs list several public keys and say how many signatures are needed to spend them. Uploaders discovered that the public-key slots could carry arbitrary bytes. A transaction can include many such multisig outputs, each carrying one or more fake key-sized chunks.
