"Who was the 1st Bitcoin miner?" https://1stbitcoinminer.com Jimmy Song: "This article is a forensic investigation into Bitcoin’s first hours and days, reconstructing who was actually mining in January 2009 using email timestamps, Hal Finney’s debug log, ExtraNonce patterns, and block timing analysis. The key findings challenge common narrative. Hal Finney apparently missed Bitcoin’s launch and didn’t join until around Block 49, not at genesis. When Hal connected, two nodes were already running. The author suspects both belonged to Satoshi. The network experienced eight significant halts in the first 170 blocks, suggesting only one active miner (Satoshi) during those gaps. Dustin Trammell likely ran Bitcoin before Hal but after Satoshi. It’s the most detailed reconstruction of Bitcoin’s fragile first days that I’ve seen, methodically combining email headers, blockchain data, and Bitcoin v0.1 source code analysis."
