So the Orbs Marketing Department, which I can subjectively call the best in the industry, is in full throttle. We're traveling the world, making contact with the coolest possible partners, and showing off the technological knowhow of the Orbs and Hexa teams on the Cryptic Writings blog.
We're also printing t-shirts, hopefully the beginning of some radical swag (not that swag is the most important element of granting a company legitimacy, but I mean who doesn't like free stuff?). One of those t-shirts is an obvious reference to pop culture.
There is no fork.
The shirt obviously recalls the iconic 'There is no spoon' scene from the Matrix, but with a clear blockchain twist. Orbs does not claim to have an "unforkable" blockchain about to be released, but we have made it a goal to disincentivize forking as much as possible.
Naturally, a 4-year-old wants to know what the hell his father is wearing.
"Aba," 'Daddy' in Hebrew, "What does it mean 'there is no fork?'"
That requires explaining two things, and in a certain order. The spoon, then the fork.
"Well, it's from a movie - a movie for grown-ups. It can be a little scary, but it's for grown-ups and it's just a movie."
Sometimes my son can take sci-fi fantasy stories like any little boy, but then sometimes, depending on his mood, he might decide a certain story is scary.
"In the movie, all the people are actually dreaming. And they're dreaming in a computer. They don't know they're in the computer."
This is where the explanation can go make-it-or-break-it. If he thinks it's interesting, he will keep listening to me for like another five minutes - a golden window in parental time. If he thinks this next part is scary, he will get nervous, and the next two hours will be an arduous adventure getting him to bed.
To read the rest of this epic father-son moment, follow along at the full blog here.
Love the design. The fork looks like a sad flower. When are you going to introduce your son to the magic world of blockchain?

Thanks for that. You should more often explain such stuff to kids then even grown ups can understand.

I am one of the few from a Million of steemers here. It's like in the real world, as long as mainstream doesn't recognize a special value of a thing it doesn't get attention. By the way if you are interested in language creation than you take a closer look.

I am. I started doing the Klingon course on Duolingo but I'm finding it more challenging than usual, probably because of the lack of recordings more than the unique grammar.
I'm actually looking at getting the Orbs two-pager translated into as many languages as possible. I can only do so many myself. You saw the German and Spanish ones I did right? It would be pretty cool to have one of the only Esperanto two-pagers/one-pagers in the industry.

Not sure if I find enough spare time for a translation. Here we go with the first paragraph:
Filozofio
Orbs apartenas al la sekva generacio de blokĉena teknologio, kun la gvidanta filozofio, ke neniu blokĉena sistemo sufiĉas por ĉiuj. Orbs estas desegnitaj por B2C-kompanioj, kiuj atingas multajn konsumantojn kaj aldonas praktikajn ŝanĝojn, kiuj alportas pli da valoroj al ĉi tiuj entreprenoj ol la infrastrukturo de antaŭaj generacioj kiel ekzemple Bitcoin aŭ Ethereum aŭ aliaj novaj formoj de blokĉenoj. Aparte, la Orbs-infrastrukturo estas esence evoluita per grandaj aplikaĵoj kiel Kik.
(untranslated words like orbs, kik need to be written cursive)

As I was diving a bit deeper I checkt also the German version. In the end I translated into German (imroved) and Esperanto. If you send my any email address I can send you the file (Its for free).
