Technical Summary
Alien Ordinals uses Power Blocks based on DMT (Digital Matter Theory) Technology.
Digital Matter Theory utilizes naturally occurring sequences and patterns on the blockchain to indicate when an Ordinal can be minted.
When you mint an Alien Ordinal, your DMT based ordinal is posted on chain as proof of you finding the Power Block first. Duplicate minting of the same Power Block later will be ignored.
Power Blocks are defined by any block number where the hash contains 1111 and is permanently defined on chain with the element.
Alien Ordinals .element is defined following the format <name>.<pattern>.<field>.element
alien.1111.0.elementname
alien
title of element
pattern
1111
Where <pattern> is the pattern discovered in the desired <field> of choice. The field consists of the following fields within block data of Bitcoin
field
0
Represents a mapped dataset of the block data of Bitcoin. 0 = "block_hash" : "hex"
