Someone released 21K Ordinal to Bitcoin users as part of a mystery game.

Sparking the latest mystery surrounding Bitcoin Ordinals, someone posted 21,000 digital texts on air as part of a game promotion on Sunday.

A message written on text 56,754,110 said, “21,000 excellent RSICs manufactured in our factory are being shipped from our distribution centers to the ordinal community,” starting a technological arms race. “The RSICs are designed only to protect the running bag. After the runes protocol was launched on Bitcoin, these runes were engraved in our repository.

While the team behind Weather calls itself Runecoin, it appears to be unrelated to the concept of Runes, which was developed last year by original developer Casey Rodermore.

Runecoin's rules establish a backstory: all 21,000 RSIC notes were initially made but could not be produced due to a “mysterious explosion of the factory and distribution centers.” These RSICs are being downloaded to the ordinal community, giving RSIC holders three options: mine run, sell RSICs on the market, or let RSICs fade. Runecoin says 10% of RSICs are reserved for the game's designers.

Adding more secrets to the game The parent text just reads “Deploy more texts”.

Last week, a message on the Bitcoin blockchain contained a puzzle that caused quite a stir in the Ordinals community.

The message “10,000 sitting side by side” reads in the original 55,365,041. “A single UTXO, intact inside. Born together, cursed at heart. Coded, Bitcoin art. The cryptic message was a series of numbers: 391481082118 – 391481092117.

The text “game” has brought joy to some casual believers, with over 33 BTC worth nearly $1 million in transactions so far. But others have questioned the airdrop claim and how it was advertised on social media.

Although RSIC's approach is new and unique, there is absolutely no guarantee that this will be the first rune, nor does this group have any idea what the final protocol will look like. He wrote. “Unless that's @rodarmor behind it.”

For the BRC-20 platform Omnisat, Gallen – like many other contributors – can only guess who is behind Runecoin, calling the inscriptions in the air “runes” is a mistake of the fact that the buyer will find.

“This article can cause a lot of damage to new buyers who don't know what they're getting into when they buy,” Gallen told Decrypt in an interview. “Although they think it's Rooney [Runes Protocol] There won't be another three months.”

Gallen's previous statements on social media, which he called “FUD,” emphasized the importance of transparency and all available public information for informed decision-making. Users are warned not to participate in activities without full knowledge, they support such unverified actions.

“You can call it FUD or whatever you want, but the truth is the marketing behind it is not valid,” Galen continued. “This whole post may be rejected of course, but if you want to play this game, please do [do your own research] Make sure you fully understand what's on offer before booking DYOR and your seats.

“The way the RSIC airdrop by @rune_coin was done is really neat, and I hope airdrops to the ordinal community will be a trend, but this kind of transaction needs to be called out,” NFT historian and casual collector Leonidas tweeted.

Calling it a red flag, Leonides warned that casual fans should wait until the Rune Protocol is released before jumping into a project using that name.

“It is clearly not the first Rune on Bitcoin, and Casey has said many times that there are no Runes until the protocol is properly dropped and a First Runes token is properly mined on the chain,” Leonidas said. “I strongly dislike that RSIC is marketing itself in this way and especially that it misleads the average person who normally doesn't take the time to fully understand why such a claim is clearly false.”

Adding more confusion to the airdrop, the Runecoin Twitter account said that the runes protocol had not yet been launched, and that no runes had been mapped.

“We think this is an interesting distribution method, which can be used for many things, including runes, and want to try and have fun with it. We hope you will too,” said the account of Runecoin.
