Welcome to binary space! As you know there are only 10 types of people, those who get binary numbers and those who don’t.
I caved for the nerds request to go ahead and create a binary variance of the seedsafe. What do you think? Does it make sense? It is way cool that for sure.
I am not sure the binary based system makes it simpler (the decimal representation presumably requires less punches per seedword/number) however e.g. 404(10) = 001 1001 0100(2) so w decimal in the 12Z you punch 4 turn the plate slightly and punch 0, turn it slightly and punch the second 4, done. Three points in the steel. With binary you keep the codeplate in one fixed position and punch in at position 3,5,8 and 9 in line. So four punches to save the same data/number for the seed in the specific position. 2048 is still four punches in decimal, eleven ”1’s” in the case with binary, that is a lot of punching going on there :-) Makes sense?
So binary because it is base, super cool, digital and we do talk about money and value in and for cyberspace and zodiacs do reference real space as star constellations, so why not connect the two in a steel plate with a secret code that unlocks such value that can travel across both time and space at the speed of light…
