Hoskinson Tizenski Data Compression Algorithm
A carefully prepared nihilartikel, ie. an hoax. Claiming 1000-fold compression was the giveaway. No related Google hits except a Wikipedia user talk page which lead me to: Articles for deletion/Charles Hoskinson. See also Talk:Charles Hoskinson. -- RHaworth 17:25, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

This is not a hoax! I use the damn algorithm every single day for my work with Oracle. It has serious problems in form as well as mathematical syntax. The 1,000 fold compression is only the result of billions of calculations per megabyte; totally impractical for any application, but tempting enough to consider research. I decided to post its existence on Wikipedia because of its limited exposure on the web. Thanks Wikipedia, in your hunt for perfection you are attacking a mathematical marvel.
