Twice a month nostr:npub12eml5kmtrjmdt0h8shgg32gye5yqsf2jha6a70jrqt82q9d960sspky99g and I will talk about Math and how it is a tool for better understanding bitcoin and other technology.

It’s a good venue for me to brush up on my math background and learn new ways to apply it at work and life through discussions and interviews!

How much time was there between the famous headline and the genesis block which contained that headline?

Minutes? Hours?

I ask because maybe Satoshi let his CPU grind the smallest hash value for a few hours while he was doing last-minute fixes before release

6 days, Jan 3 vs Jan 9

The six days is the time between the first two blocks. I didn't know that before this episode, and it surprised me!

The genesis block was on Jan3 and had the headline from the same day

If the headline was in the morning paper, then he had about 12 hours until the timestamp in the first block
