Ordinal Bounties

Definitions

A legendary satoshi is the first satoshi mined in the first block after a halving. They are exceedingly rare. Three have been mined, and there is one legendary sat per 6,336,854 BTC in circulation.

An epic satoshi is the first satoshi mined in the first block after a difficulty adjustment period. They are very rare. 361 have been mined, and there is one epic sat per 52,423 BTC in circulation.

A rare satoshi is the first satoshi mined in every block. They are moderately rare. More than 730,000 have been mined, and there is one rare sat per 26 BTC in circulation.

There is only one illusive satoshi, that with ordinal number 623624999999999. Why is left as an exercise to the reader.

All sats mined in block 124724 are cursed. Again, figuring out why is left as an exercise to the reader.

A repeater satoshi's ordinal number consists of repititions a single digit, for example, 777777777, or 3333. They are extremely rare. 137 have been mined, or one per 138,138 BTC in circulation.

A round satoshi's ordinal number has many trailing zeros. The more, the rarer. To reflect this, the bounty for round satoshies is variable.

An intelligible satoshi is one whose name is an word or sentence. The code mapping ordinals to names is here.

Rules

1. Find an ordinal qualifying for a bounty.
2. Make sure that the bounty has not already been claimed by verifying that no transactions have been sent to the bounty address.
3. Send a transaction that sends the ordinal to the bounty address.
4. Send a DM to @rodarmor.
5. The bounty will be sent back to the address that the ordinal was sent from.

Hints

• There are no ordinal wallets or transaction construction libraries. However, ordinal theory is extremely simple. A clever hacker should be able to write code to manipulate ordinals in no time.
• Extremely rare ordinals are nearly impossible to find. However, there are ways that an enterprising indivdual of limited means can still obtain rare sats.
• Round and intelligible sats are the easiest to find. You might want to start with them.
• Each of the bounty addresses is an Opendime, so we don't accidentally lose any rare sats that are sent to us.
• For more information about ordinals, check out the main page for an overview, or the BIP for the technical details.
• Satoshi was the oridinal developer of ordinal theory. However, he knew that others would consider it heretical and dangerous, so he hid his knowledge, and it was lost to the sands of time. This potent theory is only now being rediscovered. You can help by researching rare ordinals.
• The three legendary ordinals mined so far are:
