Galaxy Resear2026-08-30 09:54:08Galaxy Research points to fresh clue in Bitcoin genesis block puzzleGalaxy 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 The construction draws on the front-page headline from The Times in 2009, a well-known historical reference included in Bitcoin’s genesis block.1650
Bitcoin2026-08-18 08:56:31bitcoin.org turns 18 as a key early platform for Bitcoin information and coordinationChainCatcher reported that 18 years ago today, Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto registered the bitcoin.org domain, a site that later became a central platform for early Bitcoin information releases and community coordination. The timeline cited in the report shows that the domain was registered on Aug. 18, 2008. In October of the same year, Satoshi used a related path on the site to publish the Bitcoin white paper, and in January 2009 mined the genesis block, launching the Bitcoin network. Over time, bitcoin.org carried protocol documentation, client download guidance, and introductory educational material. The report describes the domain as one of the landmark internet assets in Bitcoin’s path from an idea to global adoption.1150
