1  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Satoshi's Fortune lower bound is 100M USD on: November 12, 2019, 03:28:07 PM
I've assumed:

1. Satoshi mined almost alone from 1/3/2009 to 1/25/2010 (block 0 to block 36288). This assumption is based on the Total Network Strength

That is an incorrect assumption

Satoshi mined 1/3/2009 - May 2010 (block 0 - block 54000+) to P2PK addresses, approximately 40 percent of these coinbase coins. (1.1 million+ coins)
He also mined other coins and transferred them to P2PKH addresses. (Amount and addresses unknown, he had several computers)
Sergio +1

Do I get to be Satoshi too? I was off by only a few days... https://i.imgur.com/w57rtbs.png

I know first-hand that there were several different people who mined before January 2010. It's kind of funny that history I've lived through is being questioned...

You are in the group of 60 percent not being Satoshi's P2PK coins.


What is Satoshi's intention?
December 2015 a Bitcointalk member discovered a puzzle transaction while playing around with his bot:

At that time nobody declared such a puzzle transaction which was created January 2015 until the creator of that competition came out 2 years later:

As of 01/10/2019 there are still more than 100 BTC to win. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5166284.0

We think that the early mined coins of Satoshi are also a prize competition and that Satoshi is waiting this coins to be moved. We also think that he will not respond after somebody moves the first coins but it will be a message to the Bitcoin community that the private keys are somehow on the blockchain. If Satoshi disagreed with that conclusion he would have moved the coins to other addresses.

One day these P2PK coins will be moved.
