We have all seen the typical Genesis block artwork out there with a big ugly bitcoin logo on it

Like every true bitcoiner I've wanted to hang it up in my living room to demonstrate how smart I am. although I'd like it to be a little more subtle

A few years ago when I learned how a bitcoin block is structured I thought it would be cool to make a genesis block artwork but instead highlight the different parts of the blocks binary code so it would look more interesting.

This is about as far as I got. I think it looks okay, but if feels like its missing something. and the description text on the bottom feels really crowded ๐Ÿ˜ž

I don't know how to make it better but I'm sure there is someone out there who is a better designer or artist than me and can make it better.

Here is the source SVG (it only delays well in the browser)

Awesome job ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

Add this at the top:

```

$ cd ~/bitcoin/blocks/

$ย hexdump -C -s 8 -n 285 blk00000.dat

```

Oh, I like that idea. It gives it a little more context

The background to the chart at https://polarbitcoin.net (B made out of the text of the white paper) is just a big image. How about I add an option to include your art?
