Mysterious Bitcoin User Embeds Wallet Puzzle in Genesis Block Data
A mysterious Bitcoin user has embedded a 255-byte message in block 963,629 on August 22, announcing a wallet puzzle whose private-key material was allegedly derived from Satoshi Nakamoto's Genesis Block.
The transaction paid 250 satoshis in fees, equivalent to 0.60 satoshis per virtual byte, and the payload represented more than half the transaction's raw size.
The creator claimed that all inputs needed to reconstruct the wallet exist inside Bitcoin's Genesis Block, but no verified evidence currently shows the puzzle was solved or that its associated reward moved.
