Coenonympha tullia

Coenonympha tullia, the large heath or common ringlet, is a butterfly in the family Nymphalidae.[1][2] It flies in a variety of grassy habitats, including roadsides, woodland edges and clearings, prairies, bogs, and arctic and alpine taiga and tundra.[2] It is a poor flyer, but can sometimes be found along ditches seeking new grounds. It is a holarctic species found in northern Europe and Asia and across North America. The species was first described by Otto Friedrich Müller in 1764.[2]

gollark: I'm not sure how else you could do it, really, since the situation with cryptocurrencies is that you need some way to deterministically, mathematically, decentrally verify that the money actually does belong to a specific person.
gollark: This avoids the problems of proof of stake/work, but does mean you get some authority controlling it, which is... well, the situation now?
gollark: We have... several thousand of them.
gollark: What would probably be neat is cryptocurrency-type tech, except with new money added by having it be signed by some authority instead.
