What was the very first Bitcoin mining script?
According to https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bitcoin-source-from-november-2008-382374 it was OP_CODESEPARATOR 04d451b0d7e567c615719a630b9f44632a0f34f5e7101f9942fe0b39996151cef10a809c443df2f ab7cd7e58a3538cd8afd08ccfaa49b637de4b1b383f088ad131 OP_CHECKSIG. Based on https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/raw-hex-data-of-the-prenet-genesis-transaction-5355610 we know OP_CODESEPARATOR was 0xa9 and OP_CHECKSIG was 0xaa in this pre-release from 2008.

Indeed, back the the bitcoin client (now Bitcoin Core, back then was called simply Bitcoin) could mine. As Satoshi himself wrote:

To generate:
bitcoin -min -gen

If you want more details, I guess that you should follow the full post I've quoted from.

And BTW, it's a program, not a script Wink

You could just use the bitcoin client back then to mine.

Let's say it's 2010 now. I read the whitepaper  Satoshi  and decided to join the process.

 What was the very first Bitcoin mining script? Where was it pumped from?
 
Tell me please
