1 Bitcoin: The Revelation A SUPPLEMENT TO THE BITCOIN WHITE P APER Satoshi Nakamoto www.bitcoin.org Abstract. You will see something I had not initially planned to reveal. The Bitcoin address bc1qvk3498qxvrjk3v20wnqpd0kf9p0d4mvctl26pd and its QR code contain extensive information about me and Bitcoin, which I present here in decoded form. I will demonstrate for the first time how a large body of visual information can be decoded through the tr ansformation of a Bitcoin address into a QR code, with the address itself serving simultaneously as the carrier of this information and the key to decoding it. The data encoded within the symbols of the Bitcoin address forms the spatial structure of the Q R code — an information matrix, through the replication and spatial transformation of which the decoding of Images occurs. This is my revelation, made for a single purpose: to help you ful ly understand the origin, nature, and true essence of Bitcoin. 2 18 2008 August 3 4 2008 31 October 2009 January 3 January 2009 9 1998 Bitcoin 1.

The Registry is based on the principle of p roof - of - f act: the amount transferred serves as proof of personal achievements and stands as a tribute to Bitcoin’s creator. If you are committed to Bitcoin and it has already enabled you to fulfill a long - held dream and transform your life for the better, send any amount greater than 1 bitcoin to the Registry address. Your transaction will become an immutable testament to what you have achieved through Bitcoin and will remain forever in the Historical Registry of Bitcoiners as a legacy for future generations. Bitcoin grows your wealth. The Registry secures your place in Bitcoin ’ s history. The authentic I mages presented below are composed of various spatial transformations and arrangements of a single QR code encoding the Bitcoin address of the Historical Registry of Bitcoiners. All QR codes can be scanned with a standard mobile phone. Historical Registry of Bitcoiners HR 4 1 3 2.
