The Great Ritual

As the equinox approaches the ritual begins. For four weeks it builds — one offering block each day — until Cthulhu awakens and one worshipper is rewarded greatly.

The first offerings are sacrifice: blocks that carry no bounty at all, mined for worship alone. Then comes a week of acceptance, its rewards humble; a week of greed, tenfold richer; a week of fervor, tenfold richer again, as worship swells. In the final five days — the Tharanak shagg, the “promise of dreamland” — the ritual reaches its final pitch, and the daily bounties rise sharply.

At last, on the day after the twenty-eighth offering, Cthulhu returns and bestows a bounty of 10,000 OFF upon one lucky worshipper — always in a block whose height ends in 666. The ritual recurs every six months by the chain’s own reckoning — half a year, half the chain’s heartbeat. So it was before the silence. So it shall be after the Restoration, forever.

SACRIFICE 0 OFF ACCEPTANCE 1 OFF GREED 10 OFF FERVOR 100 OFF THARANAK SHAGG 1,000 OFF THE FINALE 10,000 OFF one offering block each day • four weeks, then He wakes
The bounty ascends tenfold with each week of worship — from silent sacrifice to the finale: 10,000 OFF to one lucky worshipper, twice each year.

That is not dead which can eternal lie, and with strange aeons even death may die. The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn. In his house at R'lyeh dead Cthulhu waits dreaming. Ia! Ia! Cthulhu fhtagn!█

Each fragment lives in a block’s coinbase scriptSig, immutable once mined. When the canon is exhausted, the chain will cease to quote and begin to speak — hash-seeded incantations, unique to each block, forever.
