A new puzzle has emerged recently on the Bitcoin chain. An unknown encryption researcher wrote a wallet trail into the first creation block of the network, trying to generate a private key with open information. Galaxy Research found that the transaction occurred in block 963,629.
Thread into OP RETURN
This transaction is written to 255 bytes by OP RETURN, which is about 500 bytes in total. According to the researchers, this is a very large chain text, but the miner ' s fee is only 250 satoshis, at a low cost.
The puzzle revolves around the creation block.
The sponsors did not use the usual random references, but instead tied the source of the wallet to the creation block that was dug up in 2009. According to the source, all the information required was from the first piece of data and “the entropy is extremely low” and the outside world could start with such fields as block Hashi or “The Times 03/Jan/2009”.
It's also included a payment-in-charge mechanism.
This puzzle is not just a public message. The rules show that when participants send bitcoin to a given address, they can trade for clues, and the larger the amount transferred, the more specific the hint is. The community has now started a mapping exercise around the creation blocks.
