My thesis from the past year, as a sort of origin story for the new global person-to-person jurisdiction, is now recorded in Ethereum, the beginning of the network society. The entire PDF, 300 kb, can be downloaded from https://etherscan.io/address/danakil.eth.

For example, via https://api.etherscan.io/api?module=proxy&action=eth_call&to=0x2a4c6e1b451162953f95ea2b4a6499aed7dd5e8d&data=0x3bc5de30. The first two byte, 47cc, are the length of the byte array, so copy the rest, turn it into binary and open it as a pdf.

The address that danakil.eth points to is also indexed within the private key "danakil", hex 64616e616b696c00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000, that as its first transaction [created a contract](https://etherscan.io/tx/0x7ed4b738441e090793739a4329f2bb59ed97a1ebf300b692d7ce16eea6c795d8) that stores both the IPFS hash, and the address that stores the PDF. That seemed like a pretty immutable way to patent the work.
