Nakamoto Archives

Nakamoto Archives is a collection of every email and forum post ever made by Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin.

Each inscription, meticulously crafted, carries its own tale of provenance, re-inscription, recursion, and a curse.

First inscription is a JSON file containing the data. Second inscription on the same satoshi, a cursed re-inscription, is an HTML file, which uses recursion to read data from the JSON inscription, and presents it in a nice looking way! These digital artifacts tell the story of Bitcoin's history in 576 (x2) inscriptions, 542 forum posts and 34 emails.

Though the Ordinals protocol does not yet have an official standard for parent-child provenance, it's still traceable in some form.

The initial 576 inscriptions of Nakamoto Archives originated from a single commit transaction, allowing anyone to verify an inscription's authenticity.
