being funny here. I know it wasn't premined. But you got to admit, Satoshi has a LOT. I am surprised Satoshi never did any burn methods to show us he burned coins.
Premined is when block #1 was generated with X amount of coins more than block #2 and etc.. it had a larger amount delivered to the first miner (traditionally) the developer.
Sure, but a lot of people will read that and it will just reinforce the myth. How many times have you read that Satoshi owns 1 million+ coins? That's based on him being the only one mining for a long time. In the middle of that thread I linked to you'll find this old quote.
So I can tell you with confidence that you mined very few blocks (e.g. 10 blocks) during that time and you're not millonaire, or you are part of the Satoshi group, period.
Do I get to be Satoshi too? I was off by only a few days...
https://i.imgur.com/w57rtbs.pngI 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...
He certainly mined a lot but we're all guessing how many. As to proof of burn, I don't think that really fits in with the ethos. The mystery surrounding it all adds to the whole Bitcoin story.
Here is that image showing how many different Bitcoin addresses were mining in early 2010.
