Galaxy Research has revealed a new clue tied to a Bitcoin puzzle embedded in block 963,629. The puzzle was created on Aug. 23 and, according to its creator, uses a 2-of-2 multisig structure in which both keys are independently derived from the same field in the Bitcoin genesis block without hashing. Alex Thorn, head of research at Galaxy Research, said more than 19.3 billion candidate scripts have already been ruled out. The reward pool currently stands at 142,779 sats, or about $111, and the puzzle remains unsolved. The construction draws on the front-page headline from The Times in 2009, a well-known historical reference included in Bitcoin’s genesis block.
