A few years ago I wrote some toy code to scan for raw texts stored on Ethereum. Some were interesting to read. See below (the way to read: expand "click to see more" -> "Input Data" -> "view input as" - select UTF8)

* A (a bit creepy) love letter https://etherscan.io/tx/0xee30531afa6147ce450d9404bcc3fb9758... * A Chinese student activist's open letter (some media reported about it at the time) https://etherscan.io/tx/0x2d6a7b0f6adeff38423d4c62cd8b6ccb70...

Damn, for anyone trying to replicate this: the transaction cost of the love letter would be around $2500 today.

It would be $700 the link literally tells you that. And you could do it for much cheaper by just lower the gas cost. They used 900 gwei, you can get a transaction through most days for 90 gwei. Right now you could do it for 165 gwei.

  Hello Qiu Shifu, hello world.Do you know? We appeared to be cool and smart when we first met. The truth is, we are both childish and stupid (in a good way). We do not know each other for very long, but we get use to each other faster than light. We think alike. We have similar minds. We know what the other wants without much asking. We make fun of each other. We make fun of the blockchain. We make fun of the world. Yes, you and me are fun-making-massive-attacks terrorists. Who are you? I remember you elegantly spilled strawberry milk out of your mouth on a bullet train from Shanghai to Beijing like my young sister. You asked me to conduct pyramid schemes with your twinkling big beautiful eyes. You encouraged me to travel to India and North Korea like a Hajid encouraging his fellows. You and me climbed up the tallest chimney in 798 factory trembling like a spring chicken. You woke me up and asked me to run with you and enjoyed Jian Bing Guo Zi for breakfast. You are so abnormal, and I enjoy doing all these with you. What are you? You are a very smart thinker and you are smart enough to do anything be it investing to marketing. You dreamt about being an artist and I think I will be your broker. You are always full of beautiful passion and dreams about the world and I wish they will all come true. No, they are coming true.  You are so cute, and I think nothing else can be even as close to your cuteness.Your eyes are more beautiful than the most beautiful lakes. I do not only want to stand on the tip of your nose and dive into the water, I want to be the pisces that swim in the water forever, one fish in each of your eyes. Out of the water, I die. Here and now, on this Ethereum Block, I am ledgering on the network just to tell the entire world how lucky I am to have found the most astonishingly adorable woman since I am a very normal grown man with barely basic programming skills. You fascinate and inspire me. You influence me for the better. You re the on my top list, you are the objective of my objective, like an angel that rescued my stupid lonely soul in David Tao s songs; and at the same time like a cult religious leader running pyramid scheme that takes my ass for sacrafice and I can never say no, and instead I recklessly offer you my properties, passion and love. For every minute that I have been with you, it is full of happiness and joy. Can I have so more of this in the rest of my time? More minutes, more hours, more days, and even years? There is only one solution to that problem. You, be mine. O shifu
