They're unique in the universe. So you can take that number โ And put that into the op return in Bitcoin. Bitcoin has this little function where an op return can fit a hash. It's almost like a note section in a transaction. And you can stuff that with a hash of the sequence information that you have for a given plant. So we were using that function.
We've been doing that since 2011 where we've been sequencing people's plants and then โ hashing and stashing them on blockchain so that people have a record of when these things were made.

And that's helped out in that field because in the cannabis field, it's easy to clone stuff and people take people's genetics and there's a big argument over who owns them and a lot of people don't want to interface with the patent office.

So we've been involved in cases where clones were stolen from one grow to another and they came to us, we sequenced them and showed them that this is identical to something this guy grew over here and we know it and you stole it and the courts have ruled and in favor of that.

Yes. Yeah. So it does work. They do acknowledge that fingerprints work. And so I got involved in the COVID sort of dissonance side of things because when I saw how they were using PCR and COVID, I realized it was a fraud. Like we run PCR on cannabis plants all day long. This is our bread and butter. We make tests that look for pathogens on cannabis.

Yeah. And PCR is actually a really good test. They destroyed the reputation of PCR and COVID.

Yeah.
Yeah.
