What’s the story of SAT #0 – Genesis Zero?

On Jan 3 2009, the Bitcoin network was created when Satoshi Nakamato mined Genesis Block #0. The 5 Billion SATs coinbase reward is unspendable, as it was omitted from the transaction database, and spending it would be rejected from the network. The first sat was labeled as a Mythic Sat by Casey Rodarmor. The name Genesis ZERO was labeled by Dazo and MrMelo to recognize the Coinbase message and Genesis code of Sat #0.

  • Source code for Bitcoin-v0.1.0 line 860.

The Bitcoin-v0.1 code in this section is the most crucial part of the story. This laid the foundation for the groundbreaking Genesis ZERO discovery.

Hal Finney and Satoshi were the only two Developers after Genesis ZERO, and before Block #1 was mined. Verified by Archive.org

In the early days of Bitcoin, WayBackMachine (now Archive.org) had a unreliable snapshot capture process, taking anywhere from two to three days to complete, with some instances resulting in no snapshot at all. Hal Finney’s involvement in the project, however, is well-documented, with the earliest verified record dating back to January 5th, 2009, a period that predates Block #9 and #78. Furthermore, a user on Bitcointalk supported the Archives by claiming that “Hal Finney was indeed a developer at the time of Genesis.” Snapshot: Source: https://web.archive.org/web/20090105145118/http://sourceforge.net/project/memberlist.php?group_id=244765
This marked a significant turning point in the Bitcoin story, as the v0.1 code was removed from Sourceforge and Hal Finney came to the rescue on the BitcoinTalk Forums.

Concluding The Story of SAT #0 – Genesis Zero

The story of SAT #0 will stand out as a shining star of innovation and integrity when developing with a historical mission to change the world. The developer’s of Bitcoin created a pioneering transaction that represents a story that will go far beyond its monetary value for generations to come. The principles of this SAT symbolized the pioneering spirit of decentralized finance, which continues to inspire collectors of Bitcoin’s Rare Sats.

  • First Sat with a coinbase message (Genesis Zero) – which can be considered the first inscription.
  • First Sat of the First decentralized P2P Block.
  • First Sat mined successfully using decentralized PoW.
  • First Sat to landmark the history and integrity of the Bitcoin mission.
  • First Sat that cannot be spent, as specified in the code of v0.1 (Genesis Zero).

As the years pass, the Mythic Sat #0 (Genesis Zero) will remain a rare and untouched piece of Bitcoin history, a tangible connection to the past that will only continue to grow in value. Bitcoin Rare Sats continue to remain the only true connection to the historical mission of Sat #0 and it’s legendary story.
