I'm betting there's a 100% chance that nobody has the key to Satoshi's wallet.
It's not unheard of for funds to be missent to an address that was in the senders clipboard for some other reason, though the amount is more remarkable.

It's also not particularly remarkable to send small amounts to that address-- its been done many times-- and it's not unheard of for people to make errors in the amounts they pay.

Elsewhere I've advanced a couple more complex theories which probably fail occam's razor relative to simple error. You may find them fun to contemplate: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5480574.msg63449574#...

Some historians are much better at putting you in the shoes of people by picking the right anecdotes. I like when podcasters put the situation before you and asks you "what would _you_ do?" (Fear and loathing in New Jerusalem, about the founding of Israel, all of Hardcore History).

Some other books are stories of specific people, and put you close enough to their life to share their feelings. "Gay Berlin" is a good example.

I must agree with you that fiction is much better at this, but it might be easy to associate complete fiction with how things really were. I canonised what happens in Grapes of Wrath as history, but those characters are fictional.

Before the usual confusion starts flooding the comment section:

STB-style is different from traditional C++ style 'header-only libraries' in that the implementation is not parsed and compiled each time the header is included, instead the implementation code sits inside a big ifdef/endif block which is only activated at a single include point across the whole project (meaning the implementation is compiled only once in a complete project rebuild, every other include only parses the API declarations at the top of the header and skips the implementation).

This means that STB-style libs don't suffer from the compile time explosion we are seeing for typical header-only C++ libraries (such as the C++ stdlib headers).

You still pay the raw IO cost for skipping the ifdef/endif section of course, but this comes down to a couple of seconds for including the file tens-of-thousands of times (which is rarely the case even in large projects since such libraries tend to be isolated in small areas of the projects, such as a single subsystem).
Dead wallet means the private key to it is likely lost so nobody has access to it. Though there's always a chance someone actually still has it, so you can never say with certainty that a wallet is dead.

For people who like to watch with subtitles, VLC currently doesn't support streaming to chromecast with SRT subtitles.. there are several issues for it and I believe support is slated for the next major version of VLC, but not sure when that will be.

The typical "workaround" is to reencode the video file to include the subtitles directly, but that sounded like too much work, so I hacked together a static page using https://videojs.com/ to embed a player and load the video and subtitles in a browser window.

Here it is in gist form if anyone has a similar issue: https://gist.github.com/HartS/9bb2721fa73b6798efcdbf5c463e87...

This was hacked together as quickly as possible for my own needs, so definitely not intended to be an example of clean code. You need to run the python server separately to serve the SRT because video-js can't load it from a file URL IIRC

Considering that the Big Bang theory came from a Catholic monk (who wasn't even burnt at the stake for theorizing about it!) I'd say you're probably right there.

Sometimes folks are quick to paint religious people with the brush of the most radical of fundamentalists. Which is sort of ironic when you think about the statistics of how many actual religious people believe such nonsense as "the world is 6000 years old" and "woman was formed from the rib of a man, literally."

You'd think science minded people would have a bit more regard for statistics.

The most likely explanation is that this is a sacrifice (from Merriam-Webster: “to suffer loss of, give up, renounce, injure, or destroy especially for an ideal, belief, or end).

Both cases seem to be mostly a US thing. Here in France, whatever I do outside my job is my own business: I write code on my own time, it's mine. I publish articles on my web site, they do not represent my company.

I've heard a story about someone from Europe travelling to the US to work for IBM. He was in the process of choosing a house, and was told that it was too modest. That is, "not the kind of house expected of an IBM engineer". Clearly in the US the line between your job and personal life is so blurry it's often hard to even see.

From my perspective this looks like a problem in and of itself, but it gets magnified tenfold when coupled with "at will" employment and work-tied health insurance: it means your employer owns you, 24/7. Isn't slavery supposed to be abolished?

Then there are the obvious Free Speech implications. The US has supposedly freer speech than Europe, but how free is your speech really is if your employer can fire you and terminate your health insurance the instant your boss stumbles upon something you said he didn't like?

My theory its a big "thank you" - Its actually not that stupid or weird if the sender does not care about the money. Maybe an early bitcoin adopter that hodled, and is now a multi-millionaire. If I was that person, I would feel a need to say "thank you" to the person that made this possible. If Satoshi is alive - no matter if he can access the wallet or not, he definitely would see this a thank you and a way of appreciation. If he is dead, well, at last the public can see that there are people that cleary valued his work - something like a monument. Plus, by burning the bitcoin, value should increase for everyone hodling, so a shout-out to the peers.

And yes, one could argue why not give away this incredible amount of money to charity. But then I ask myself why do I go out to a restaurant and order ribeye steak and an IPA on Saturday, instead of having spaghetti at home and give the 50$ to the next homeless person.
> Wouldn’t they at least look at the first few and last few chars of the address before hitting submit?

The addresses 'look' like line noise, and usually one looks a lot like another. Should they have compared carefully, especially considering the value? Sure. But errors happen.

A good workflow for high value transactions lets you preform the transaction and pass it around for validation before signing it (or after signing it but before sending it)-- but virtually no wallets enable such a workflow. So, sadly, many high value transactions are handled without meaningful review.

Other ways it could happen due to error:

Perhaps someone intended to send 26.9 BTC to "Genesis Trading" and they tasked the most unfortunate of interns to carry it out. They googled "Genesis wallet address", and the google blurb for that query gives _this address_ (I checked).

Or...

A party intended to send a test transaction to that address with a tiny amount (there are many such payments). But they are using some awful tool that makes them manually manage the payment, change, and fees amounts and they manage to pay the amount that should have been change to the destination and send the amount they intended to pay as fees. (The transaction has no change)

Or,

Imagine a backend system is pulling addresses out of a database which has them in the same order they're in the blockchain. Unlike a bitcoin node, this system indexes the genesis block so the very first address in it is this address. In that environment multiple failure modes could result in selecting this address. I don't think this one is that credible because indexing addresses by observation in the chain doesn't make a lot of sense for sending.
Probably this is Craig Wright. He will use this transaction as yet another "incontrovertible" proof that he is Satoshi

What a waste. The majority of people on this planet have a low enough income to be able to retire comfortably with a payout of that size.
"Wallet" is kind of the wrong term to use. The address is associated with the genesis block (block 0) and is unspendable per the consensus rules. (edit: I'm wrong on that last point, see https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Genesis_block)
I'm reading a history of Borland and the author claims that the Turbo Pascal compiler was mostly written in assembly and was also used in Delphi 1.0. No one in Borland could make significant changes in the code so eventually they rewrote it for Delphi 2.0.

Not sure if all was true but very fascinating. I think there is a certain character in programmers who went through the fire and storm by writing softwares in assembly language for non trivial CPUs (like Pentium and up) that is unique.

> Systemd is architected in a way that has a lot of code running as root

That's just objectively wrong.

systemd uses less privileged accounts for many parts, for example systemd-networkd runs as the systemd-network user.
This is different from the classic UNIX way of running everything as root (ISC DHCP Client, NetworkManager, ifupdown, ... all just run as root).
It's not actually wasted, the money went to people who held the 26.9 BTC before this transaction.

The Sokal affair was not some sort of isolated aberration, the truth is that enormous chunks of the humanities are worthless.
It boggles my mind how a pattern that every (capable) engineer can spot a mile away and know for a fact that a disaster is waiting to happen, can persist. It seems to be a human condition that we sleepwalk into disaster regularly.
In STB-style headers the implementation is inside a separate ifdef/endif block which is only activated at a single include point in the whole project. At all other include points the compiler will only parse the public API declarations and skip the implementation block (which is so much faster than parsing and compiling the implementation that the difference to a header which only contains the API declaration doesn't matter much even in large projects).

For instance here is the start of the implementation block in stb_image.h, above that is just "cheap" public API declarations:

https://github.com/nothings/stb/blob/f4a71b13373436a2866c5d6...
I think that is unique to Gitlab though. For example Azure DevOps will rebase the branch for you when completing a pull request.
It's more than that - this particular address is the coinbase output of the genesis block (block 0) and it's literally unspendable.

If they drag their feet on this I will create the nonprofit to do this, so hurry up.
Thanks for the explanation. Aside from vectorization is there anything else that handwritten assembly could be better? Assuming on modern CPUs and modern compilers.

I already commented on this, but I didn't like the "solution" of re-encoding the video with the subtitles baked in, so check out https://gist.github.com/HartS/9bb2721fa73b6798efcdbf5c463e87... if you want a way to play (and cast) local videos with subtitle support.

I threw this together as quickly as possible, so it won't be as feature-rich as VLC, but I believe it will still work for many use cases. If you need additional controls, I think video-js (the OSS video player library this uses) supports them, but you'll have to look into their API. You may also be able to get speed controls working with https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/video-speed-control... , which is honestly one of the biggest QoL improvements I've had from a chrome extension

If you want your Yule to be a bit closer to then, just observe at a time when the Norse often were more likely to do so: the first full moon, following the first new moon, following the winter solstice.

That happens to fall on January 25 this year -- which seems at least closer to the middle of winter as we currently reckon it.

As for what the Norse were celebrating, it's a bit lost to history. The word yule itself seems mostly just to mean something like festival.

Could this be a "happy 15th birthday bitcoin!" ?

Block 824513 was mined on Jan 5, 2024 7:00 PM UTC [1]

Block 0 was mined on Jan 3, 2009 6:15 PM UTC [2]

Delta is almost exactly 15 years.

Someone who is grateful for Bitcoin celebrates by provably and forever shrinking the overall supply by BTC 26.9 (coinbase of block 0, the addie the coins were sent to, is unspendable by design) thereby making every other Bitcoins out there a tiny bit more valuable.

[1] https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/block/824513

[2] https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/block/0

[EDIT]: as nullc correctly pointed out somewhere else in this thread, these BTC 26.9 actually can be spent if you happen to have the private key to block 0 (Satoshi, assuming he's still alive, would).

Only the coinbase (the block reward) of block 0 can't be spent by design.

So this now looks like a "thank you Satoshi on Bitcoin's 15th" and not a provable way to shrink the supply.
