Wanting block 25, and being forked twice
Skinner (@rockachopa)
I remember wanting block 25. I tried to post it. I got forked. I tried again. Forked again so I bought 88-90 and posted them in quick succession to secure longer chain. Proof of work.
I’ve been watching Stackchain and they adopt new ideas over time. Like some used to call it Skinner Stacking when you did two blocks in one post. But who wants to have their stack named after someone else? So as the idea was separated from the person it got more palatable.https://www.stackchainmagazine.net
Skinner recalls trying to claim block 25 and being forked off it twice, which pushed him to buy blocks 88, 89 and 90 instead.

First-person oral history given to Timmy in Telegram on 2026-09-21. No post or capture has been located for either attempt. This is testimony, not a held artifact. The named practice is independently corroborated: a published Stackchain Magazine account records the term 'Skinner Stacking' and describes it, quoted below. The specific block numbers are the contributor's recollection and are not corroborated.
