Rollercoin Hamster

RollerCoin Ode to Edgar Allen Poe's "The Raven"


The below is a humorous adaptation of Edgar Allen Poe's poem, The Raven, if he had written about cryptogaming.

Or so I think....

 

Once upon a midnight dreary,

while I crypto-mined, weak and weary,

Over many a quaint and curious volume of publish0x posts.

While I nodded, nearly napping,

suddenly there came a ringing,

As of registers gently dinging,

dropping coins in my cryptowallet.

“’Tis some hamster,” I muttered, “chiming at my wallet's door...RollerCoin and nothing more!”  

 

Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December;

And each separate game raised the hashrate on the screen.

Eagerly I wished it higher;—vainly I had sought to increase

From the games surcease of crypto—crypto for the hamster game—

For the rare and radiant rodent whom the angels name Rollercoin—

Rolling here for evermore.

It has always been a favorite of mine and I found it fun to adapt it to crypto.
