Title: Where is satoshis bitcoins? Post by: General_A on January 18, 2015, 02:34:37 PM I have been doing some digging and trying to find where Satoshi's alleged 1 million BTC are. I can't find anyone who can point me in the right direction, can anyone here help?

I can't find anyone who can point me in the right direction, can anyone here help? I don't think it will be possible for anyone to find it out, as even in the rich list, the addies with the max BTC amount that you will find won't be more than 160,000...

Post by: tonygal on January 18, 2015, 03:08:31 PM Among the first block rewards, the ones belonging to satoshi can be characterized
by their particular nonce-values. Maybe this helps: https://bitslog.wordpress.com/2013/09/03/new-mystery-about-satoshi/ (https://bitslog.wordpress.com/2013/09/03/new-mystery-about-satoshi/) (The emphasize is different, but what you want is extractable.) Title: Re: Where is satoshis bitcoins? Post by: Soros Shorts on January 18, 2015, 03:11:29 PM That is a start, 250 down, 999,750 to go. Is there anyway I can easily track down blocks You can go to blockchain.info and enter the block height (starting from 1) since it is clear that only he was mining at the very beginning. Personally I would write a program to do this and query against my own bitcoind. Title: Re: Where is satoshis bitcoins?

Deliberately lose maybe, bitcoin was/is just an experiment and was virtually valueless at the time so it wouldn't have really made him greedy. |
