Spartacus

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and his supporters are using Bitcoin’s blockchain to immortalize the Afghan War Logs. These 76,911 classified documents, originally leaked by Chelsea Manning in 2010, exposed the grim realities of the Afghan War, including civilian casualties and controversial interrogation methods. 
Through <a href="http://projectspartacus.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">ProjectSpartacus.org</a>, launching December 12, the files will be inscribed onto the Bitcoin blockchain using the Ordinals protocol. 
This innovative approach leverages blockchain’s decentralized and immutable nature to ensure the logs remain accessible even if traditional platforms like <a href="http://wikileaks.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">WikiLeaks.org</a> or the Internet Archive are compromised.&nbsp; 
Gabriel Shipton, Assange’s brother and chair of the Assange Campaign, called it a powerful use case for ensuring such critical information “lasts forever.” 
The “Project Spartacus” <a href="https://x.com/WuBlockchain/status/1864684647445352836?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1864684647445352836%7Ctwgr%5Eec50554fc8558b64551f1475cfba1f84c10f0a85%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.crypto-news-flash.com%2Fbitcoin-ordinals-empower-wikileaks-afghan-war-diary-project%2F" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">involves</a> inscribing each document onto individual satoshis (Bitcoin’s smallest unit), a process described by OrdinalsBot founder Toby Lewis as one of the most complex mints yet. Unlike typical NFT collections, this project spans thousands of files and will require contributions from participants globally. 
Interestingly, the project isn’t a fundraiser for Assange, who is seeking a presidential pardon. Instead, the only monetary beneficiaries are Bitcoin miners. Stella Assange, Julian’s wife, lauded the project as a pivotal step in preserving freedom of expression and public knowledge. 
Project Spartacus highlights the intersection of blockchain technology and activism, ensuring vital historical records remain untouchable by censorship or suppression.&nbsp;
