"he bitcoins in Genesis block are not spendable (but this did not prevent some well meaning halfbrains from sending additional coins to that address). But the private key for that genesis block exists (or at least existed) so Satoshi could prove his identity at any chosen moment if he wishes and if the key is not lost. I wonder if this is a bug or Satoshi was so bright to include this intentionally?"
Regarding the genesis block 'timestamp' sentence, i had a look earlier (while joining the network .. i'm curious
), it's a tribute ("RIP") message to a close (i guess).Edit: hop .. here it is, directly from the source
Code:
// Genesis block
const char* pszTimestamp = "June 4th 1978 - March 6th 2009 ; Rest In Peace, Stephanie.";
