Do I need to apply something like the public-key private-key encryption beforehand?

No, you only need to hash the 80-byte block header in binary mode.

Code:

SHA-256(0100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000003ba3edfd7a7b12b27ac72c3e67768f617fc81bc3888a51323a9fb8aa4b1e5e4a29ab5f49ffff001d1dac2b7c)=af42031e805ff493a07341e2f74ff58149d22ab9ba19f61343e2c86c71c5d66d
SHA-256(af42031e805ff493a07341e2f74ff58149d22ab9ba19f61343e2c86c71c5d66d)=6fe28c0ab6f1b372c1a6a246ae63f74f931e8365e15a089c68d6190000000000

Thank you very much for your valuable thoughts so far.

May I ask, is it possible to dumb theymos' hex into Github's SHA256 online-tool to check whether it yields the correct hash? Which is supposed to be this

Code:

000000000019d6689c085ae165831e934ff763ae46a2a6c172b3f1b60a8ce26f

.

It doesn't work for me yet. Do I need to apply something like the public-key private-key encryption beforehand?

Also, when you, theymos, write that this is proper hex, do you mean that one has to remove the '↵' before? I am sorry, this is perhaps a very stupid question.^^

Thank you very much.

When I put this passphase (The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks) into the brainwallet from bittaddress.org I got a valid bitaddress: 1Nbm3JoDpwS4HRw9WmHaKGAzaeSKXoQ6Ej

Coincidence?

Anyone?

One can make a brainwallet out of any string, and some Bitcoin people like to use "lucky charms" in form of phrases like that.

That is interesting, didn't expect that from the Tx example. Thanks for the help!

Hmm, isn't that redundant with the pk_script length right before it?

No.

Also, I can't find a reference to that script op in the specification of tx https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Protocol_specification#tx .

See: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Script
Opcodes 1-75 push data onto the stack.

It's a script op that pushes 0x41 bytes onto the stack.

Hmm, so the main difference (asides two lines being switched between themselves) is between my lines:

42 - pk_script length
04678AFDB0FE5548271967F1A67130B7105CD6A828E03909A67962E0EA1F61DEB649F6BC3F4CEF3 8C4F35504E51EC112DE5C384DF7BA0B8D578A4C702B6BF11D5F - pk_script
AC - OP_Checksig

And your lines:

43
4104678afdb0fe5548271967f1a67130b7105cd6a828e03909a67962e0ea1f61deb649f6bc3f4ce f38c4f35504e51ec112de5c384df7ba0b8d578a4c702b6bf11d5fac

Which is just the inclusion of "41" at the begining of pkscript. Here
http://blockexplorer.com/rawblock/000000000019d6689c085ae165831e934ff763ae46a2a6c172b3f1b60a8ce26f
we can see the line

"scriptPubKey":"04678afdb0fe5548271967f1a67130b7105cd6a828e03909a67962e0ea1f61deb649f6bc3f4cef3 8c4f35504e51ec112de5c384df7ba0b8d578a4c702b6bf11d5f OP_CHECKSIG"

So where does the "41" come from?

I think this is the accurate hex:

Okay, fixed the merkle root, as for the bits I'm not really sure whether the Block Explorer reverses that field, or leaves it as is, so I guess I should ask on the SE.

Some of your data has the wrong endianness. Definitely the Merkle root, and maybe the difficulty and other things.

I`m implementing some low-level Bitcoin operations currently, and I want to recreate the genesis block so I can communicate with the network. As I'm writing the implementation from scratch, and there are no raw dumps of the genesis block (getting to low level byte dumps), can someone check if what my code is generating is a proper dump of the genesis block?
