yeah, typed it in the emoji search to get a closer look :)
What does the camera supposed to mean? I see it quite often on Nostr :)
Must be a sync issue
Curious if anyone has additional info on that:

So it could be that I mined with the Bitcoin 0.1 preview release from November 16 2008 or an older version on that 2007 coinbase hash?
Guess I could search the Usenet Historical Collection on archive.org which dates back 30 years, but those are thousands of collections, each containing tens of thousands zip files, not even remembering which usenet group it was.
Like with pyscript or something?
The readme from the bitcoin 0.1 client implies that there was a graphical user interface already:
“To support the network by running a node, select:
Options->Generate Coins”
A preview release is from November 16, 2008, which would check out.
Does anyone has info what that preview release did? Was there some testnet before bitcoin was launched?
Some early OG’s that can help me out? I remember mining in 2008 with a quite sophisticated client on Windows, it had an address book and showed connections in the status bar. I’ve also read some paper from usenet about a digital currency. But the Bitcoin Whitepaper is from October 31, 2008, which could check out, but the first block was mined Janurary 3, 2009. The client looked odfully similar to bitcoin-qt, but that one was released on 21 November 2011, so what was I mining at that time?
I was mining pre bitcoin for a couple of days in 2008. Got bored and didn’t discover economic badassery :)
If you can’t beat them (spammers), join them (hellthread).
Soon me to, after a couple of days, which took months on that crazy bird.
Nostr’s spam prevention: outspam the spammers.
Damn, can’t distinguish between my feed and the hellthread notifications anymore, just contributed accidentally to the beast, again.



Just discovered the total economic badassery that is #Bitcoin. I'm hooked and have started mining immediately - 12 years ago.
