Hal Finney must have accumulated a ton of bitcoin.
What ever happened to them?
After his death, have they been sold?

From what I understand, a bitcoin block takes an average of 10 minutes to be mined.

The genesis block or first on the bitcoin blockchain (block 0) was on January 3rd, 2009.
The second block ever mined, took 6 days to mine, not anything near 10 minutes.

Some people say that Satoshi did this on purpose, so that it was like the Bible's account of the world being created in 6 days.

Does anyone have any other thoughts or theories on the genesis block and the time taken for the subsequent second block

I remember when people used to say having 21 was good, because then you would have 1 millionth of the supply. Now I see people talking about some 6.15 number, which I have no idea why or how anyone came up with that number.
Other guys tell people having 1 bitcoin will be 'enough' in the future, and how long into the future, I do not know.
I recently saw people saying online that 1 bitcoin is not attainable for most people, and they should aim for 0.1 bitcoin, and that sounded crazy to me. Surely if something is so important, you can find a way of getting 1 bitcoin over a year or two?

Do you guys have a certain amount you are aiming for?
Personally I dont have a cap on the amount I want to get. I just keep getting as much bitcoin as I can, when I can. Stacking sats I think the cool kids call it.
I dont think I will ever stop doing this. If I need to liquidate some in order to live and buy things, i'll do that, but i'll always keep trying to replenish what I spend.

On the really rare occasion that I log back into my old blockchain.info account, I always get an email asking me to authorize the login by clicking the link. As far as I know, the only way I am usually able to login is with my Identifier and my password. Once I do that, I get an email, then I click the link to verify my browser and IP, and I am in.

So I just got an email like I usually do, but I was not trying to access the account. The IP and location says "IP Address: 92.38.78.23 (Czech Republic)", and browser is Iternet Explorer FFS, so definitely not me, not even the same country.

So how could someone have my Identifier and password if I am the only one that has that? I do also have 2 factor authentication, and a secondary password for sending out, but still, its very odd. The email says if I did not try to login, maybe I was the victim of a phishing attack. No, very very very unlikely...and even then, it would involve me attempting to login which I have not done for ages.

The only thing I have done recently at all that has anything to do with blockchain.info, is update the android apps for wallet and merchant that I have on my phone. Does anyone have any ideas? I am not really worried since I dont keep any coin there, but I still keep the wallet open because it is a public address I have used for years.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but what do you have to do to become a member, instead of being a newbie on this forum?
Thanks!
