Eligius pool (Luke Dashjr) inscribed the Latin Divine Praises and other Catholic prayers one verse per coinbase across blocks 139690-143822 (2011); opponents replied with meme/atheist graffiti in tx scripts.
The 'prayer war' (2011-08-05 to 09-03): Luke Dashjr set the 'random' coinbase data of his Eligius pool to prayers - the Divine Praises, then the Trinitarian formula, Act of Contrition, Act of Hope, etc. - roughly one verse per Eligius block from 139690 to ~143822. Opponents (also via Eligius's contributor-string system) inserted memes/atheist replies in tx output/input scripts. This entry lists the 12 identified prayer coinbase txs + 6 interruptions in block order. Further documented interruptions whose txids aren't located here: 142573 'Militant atheists, bit.ly/... happy now?' (an early Rickroll), 142596 '<cjdelisle> ran out of prayers?! That explains the price drop', and 142640 tonal-system numerals. The feat ended once pools began routine ad tags (Slush, block 163970).
