Satoshi Nakamoto’s Bitcoin Genesis Block Puzzle Gets New Attention
Galaxy Research head Alex Thorn (@intangiblecoins) has joined the hunt for a Bitcoin bitcoin:native puzzle tied to Satoshi Nakamoto’s Genesis Block.
Nakamoto embedded a reference to a Times newspaper headline inside that block.
The puzzle was created using information embedded in Bitcoin’s first block, mined by Satoshi Nakamoto in 2009.
Its creator says solving the challenge requires deriving two keys from the same Genesis Block field. The keys form a 2-of-2 multisig, meaning both are required to unlock the funds.
Thorn says he has already tested more than 19.3 billion candidate scripts.
The puzzle currently carries a jackpot of 142,779 sats, worth nearly $111.
What are you talking about?
I literally built Cashtags, allowing people to add Solana and Ethereum charts directly into posts—with trade buttons coming soon.
You can even paste contract addresses for newly minted tokens.
There wasn’t a single feature on X for crypto traders until I joined.
The bull market is starting because the Treasury announced it’s buying back bonds and debasing the dollar.
