I just checked the entire bitcoin blockchain, including every signature, from start to finish.

Now I’m gonna try the same from finish to start. I just compiled bitcoin from GitHub and this should contain the fix for the big I found in 2021 while attempting this same exercise.

Few people know that in the first year of bitcoin, two blocks got their block rewards deleted, accidentally, because the transaction hash creating the block reward was a duplicate…an early form of “address” reuse being unwise, sorta…
