Must be connected to mint!
General Details:
Anyone can mint a Historical Record and submit a record statement by paying a 0.01 ETH fee. There can only be one Historical Record for each date, and each Historical Record is restricted to 10 statements. The statements are stored permanently and immutable on the Ethereum blockchain.
You can use Etherscan to retrieve the statements. As an example, the Token ID for 2009.01.03 is 1230940800. To retrieve the first statement, read this contract on Etherscan, and under the function "statement" enter 1230940801 (i.e., the Token ID plus 1 for the first statment). The response from the Ethereum network will be "Satoshi Nakamoto mined the Bitcoin Genesis Block."The initial minter may submit a statement, and each subsequent owner may submit a statement, until the Historical Record is complete (i.e., 10 statements submitted). There is no fee to submit the first statement. A 0.01 ETH statement fee is required to submit each subsequent statement.
Historical Records can only be minted for dates through the current block timestamp. In other words, dates that are in the future cannot be minted (until the future, becomes the present, becomes the past). The oldest date that can be minted is also limited. Initially, the limit is set to 1900.01.01; however, this limit can be adjusted in the future to allow the minting of earlier dates.
