Hey Eduardus, Concerning your good motto for bitcoin mark II, could you change it to say "a chain of trust tied to an open market" or "a chain of trust tied to the people" or "a chain of trust tied to a logic based system"? Fiat has lying politicians to back them up so even the "nothing" is more appealing at this point.

Good-day Gentlemen, Pardon me, may I contribute my SEXTANS' worth to
your discussion, the antecedents of which I know not. At first sight I
thought that CATENA FIDE DIGNORVM AD NIHILVM CONEXA might be a
hexameter, and I am disappointed to discover otherwise!

v - v v - - - * - v v - - - -
CATENA FIDE DIGNORVM AD NIHILVM CONEXA

If you allow me to coin a term: MONETALES MORSVS = coin bites =
bitcoins, and allow me to scan VERSIONEM as I think Catullus or
someone might have done in order to poke -IO- into a hexameter,

- v v|- -| vv * -| - v v|- -|- v
HANCE VIDE VERSIONEM EDVARDE: MONETALES SVNT
- -| - v v|- v v|* - -|- -|- v
MORSVS DIGNA CATENA FIDE AD NILVM CONEXA.

Look at this version, Ed: Bitcoins are a chain worthy of one's faith
but are underwritten by nuttin'.

In the original version, CATENA FIDE DIGNORVM AD NIHILVM CONEXA, what
is the translation of the DIGNORVM clause? Or, why is DIGNORVM a
(neuter? male?) plural?
