    NAMECOIN BLOCKCHAIN
    
    DANIEL crawls towards the auction entrance and a figure walks past.
    
                      DANIEL
               Hey, I need some help. 
    
    The figure ignores them and walks toward the entrance where the
    doors open and DEV1000, a non-binary code, exits and comes down to
    meet DANIEL. 
     
                      DEV1000 
               I can help you, what’s your name?
    
                      DANIEL
               Daniel, but not for long.
    
                      DEV1000
               The way that you pronounce DANIEL
                       sounds like uppercase, am I right?
        
                      DANIEL
                                (confused)
               Uummmm.
    
                      DEV1000				
               You have to be clear on whether you 
                       are upper or lowercase before
                       registration.
                            
                      DANIEL
                              (still confused)
              Uummmm.
    
                      DEV1000
                       If you are uppercase you will be 
                       classified as non-standard and you 
                       will spend the rest of the time 
               in an unresolved domain, worthless,
               actually a scam.
                    
                      DANIEL
                         (sighs) 
                       Like my father.
    
    DANIEL is lost in thought.
    
                      DEV1000
               Daniel, I have to go, good luck.
    
    DEV1000 slides away.
    
                      DANIEL
               Babe, wait.
    
    AOL WOL, all legs no head, steps into frame and is next in line.
    
                                  AOL WOL
                       C'mon get a move on.
    
    AOL WOL kicks DANIEL into the air and through the entrance.
    
    END OF EPISODE
