History
In 1859 Thaddeus Parris, a Mexican–American War veteran for whom the community was named built an ox-turned Gristmill[3] at this location. This attracted settlers of the area during the next decade and until sometime in the late nineteenth or early twentieth century Parris remained a community center for area farmers.[4]

gollark: I think theoretically stuff could be switched over to a non-SHA256 algorithm, requiring... either the majority of mining power to agree to it or I guess just a lot of the nodes.
gollark: A similar sort of thing probably happened when ASICs which do SHA256 much faster than GPUs do were initially used.
gollark: If SHA256 could be done much faster, that would just make whatever can do it really fast the only way to do mining; it autoadjusts to the available has hpower.
gollark: As far as I'm aware the blockchain thing itself is basically just a Merkle tree, except... well, a single chain and not really a tree.
