    ETHEREUM BLOCKCHAIN
    
    DANIEL, with their arms and amputated legs, is hanging onto the back
    of The MINER who is holding onto a block spinning in ether.
    
                      MINER
               Hold tight, Daniel.
    
                      DANIEL
               Oi!
    
                      MINER
               It’s happening!
    
    At the sound of a snap the block stops and a new one starts. The
    MINER and DANIEL move to the new block.
    
                      DANIEL
               It’s happening!
          
                       What is my name?
                   Is it Sally, is it Blue Boy?
    
                      MINER
               Daniel.
    
                      DANIEL
                   Is it... aah?
    
    The process repeats: snap, new block, The MINER and DANIEL move to
    the new block.
    
                      MINER
               Before you change your name.
    
                      DANIEL
               Is it Samson?
    
                      MINER
               There is something I wish to
                       ask you.
    
                      DANIEL
               Is it Su... is it Patrick?
               Is my name Patrick? 
    
    Snap. New block. Move.
    
                      MINER
               Uh, not yet.
    
                                  DANIEL
                       Aargh.
    
                      MINER
               We are bridging blockchains
                       from Ethereum to Namecoin.
    
                      DANIEL
               Ok, what did you want to ask?
    
    Snap. New block. Move.
    
                      MINER
               Well, I fear that we will not 
                       be frens when your identity 
                       updates.
    
                      DANIEL
                               (leaning in)
               Lend me your ear.
    
                      MINER
               Ooh, that’s ticklish.
    
    Snap. New block. Move.
    
                      DANIEL 
                                (singing)
               The more we are together the 
                       happier we’ll be. For my frens 
                       are your frens and your frens 
                       are my frens.
    
    A squishy sound emits from DANIEL’s stumps (amputated legs).
    
                      MINER
               Oh, Daniel, your stumpies are 
                       squirting. 
    
                      DANIEL
               Stick em in and we can be 
                       connected forever, fren. 
    
                      MINER
                   I trust you, fren. 
    
    The MINER grabs the two stumps and sticks them into his ears.
    Snap. New block.
    
                      DANIEL and MINER
               The mooarr we are together 
                       the happier we’ll beeeee
                       for my frens are your frens
                       and your frens are my frens.
    
                                  MINER 
                                 (woozy)
                   When are we gonna get there?
    
    Snap. New block. DEVOTED, a simple face composed of three dots,
    appears.
    
                      DEVOTED
               Hello frens.
    
                      MINER
               We have arrived!
    
                      DEVOTED
                   Welcome to Namecoin.
    
    The MINER and DANIEL, now frens, bridge from the Ethereum blockchain
    to the Namecoin blockchain with DEVOTED.
