BITMAP starts feeling very different once you go far enough down the rabbit hole..
If reality is some kind of simulation, then the world itself is likely just layered state changes.. every moment reacting to the previous one, creating an endlessly evolving environment built from memory and time.
Bitcoin blocks mirror that structure almost perfectly. Each block is a permanent recorded state of energy, movement, coordination, and human activity frozen in time forever.
Bitmap turns those historical states into actual digital environments builders can expand on top of.
In a weird way, it feels less like NFTs and more like the early architecture of a parallel simulated reality forming directly from immutable history.
Update on the Bitoshi Index...
Ord is sync'd, my Bitmap Indexer is mostly working, just tightening the logic and testing the data against other sources.
The tool compares each individual ID between multiple data sources.
I'm generating a merkle tree root when testing ID ranges to give me a comparison proof, so I don't need to manually check each individual district, and I don't have to trust the comparison tool.
Doing this helped me find some bugs in my data logic that I'm now fixing.
Once I've finished this, I can move onto some fun things, and my first main goal is to build the realtime Signal indexer.
Currently the Signal is kind of dead on arrival because I don't have a realtime data source. But very soon I will.
And the index will do much more than Signal. I'm going to index Distict Toshi sizes based on Block tx output values (+ fees).
This will give us a data source for perfect District sizes. With this, I can build the Bitmap map type that uses exact values.
I also intend to create a realtime worldtree of Bitmap, and a super secret Bitcoin native project that I believe will be useful for many reasons. ⚙️
I've got lots in the works, it's just a matter of keeping it all straight in my head, putting horses before carts.
@DeOrganizedBTC We'll see it play out. Right now the NAT guys have reason to celebrate because of miner "adoption" and current value. Even if it's nowhere near a viable competitor to miner fees, at least there is enough interest to set a price.
Now they just have to sustain that demand forever.

The upcoming Bitmap Spring Direct will bring you up to speed with everything happening on Bitmap. This is the first draft intro video.
If you want me to include something, post it below!
Honestly the Dmt-Nat guys are insufferable.
They mean well.
They represent the cream of the crop of nerds in the space.
Unfortunately, they are waaaaay too far in the weeds.
It is all too technical, too "far out" for ordinary plebs, too niche within a niche.
Just buy Ordi.
