How do you determine that is from the genesis block? Also how do you know it is Sataoshi's? Because it is from the Genesis or is there some other method?

Go to: https://blockchain.info/en/address/12c6DSiU4Rq3P4ZxziKxzrL5LmMBrzjrJX https://blockchain.info/en/address/12c6DSiU4Rq3P4ZxziKxzrL5L... Scroll down to the bottom, where you will see: https://blockchain.info/tx/0e3e2357e806b6cdb1f70b54c3a3a17b6714ee1f0e68bebb44a74b1efd512098 https://blockchain.info/tx/0e3e2357e806b6cdb1f70b54c3a3a17b6... That is the genesis block. (Well, OK, that's the transaction contained in the genesis block. The Genesis block itself is https://blockchain.info/block-index/14850 https://blockchain.info/block-index/14850) > Also how do you know it is Sataoshi's? Because he was the only one mining when bitcoin launched.
- murbul 11y agoThe genesis block is actually block 0, you're looking at block 1. Incidentally, the genesis block reward is unspendable. It's not really known if that was intentional or a bug in the initial implementation, but the rule persists.
- lisper 11y agoOops, you're right. Here's the genesis block: https://blockchain.info/block/000000000019d6689c085ae165831e934ff763ae46a2a6c172b3f1b60a8ce26f https://blockchain.info/block/000000000019d6689c085ae165831e...
