Every machine in this collection is doing the same job. It cycles seed phrases on its monitor and checks whether any of them opens Satoshi Nakamoto's wallet. It has not found it yet. You can watch the whole rig work on this page, phrase by phrase.

The rig runs in the cloud and never stops. Each worker generates a real BIP39 phrase, derives the addresses it produces, and compares them against the coinbase addresses from the blocks Satoshi mined. Every number above is a real count, not a decoration.

Work is handed out one machine at a time. A bot takes a shift, grinds phrases under its own name, and hands over. Every line below is a real phrase a real machine checked, and the number in front of it is which machine was on shift.

A thousand and forty one machines, drawn one pixel at a time. Most are built from the trait engine, sixty nine values in every category. The rest are drawn by hand, each a machine that once existed, and they sit scattered through the supply. Hold one and you hold a share of a wallet that will not open, and a machine that will not stop.

The mint has closed. The machines are still running.

Every machine is drawn on a 64 by 64 grid, one pixel at a time, from a fixed palette. The heads run from beige office CRTs to flat panels that came much later. The alphabet on the screens is the same in every machine, because it is one language and not random noise.

1. The rig guesses
Cloud workers generate valid BIP39 seed phrases, derive the standard address paths from each one, and check those addresses against Satoshi's known coinbase addresses.
2. The site keeps score
Workers report their counts every few seconds. The page above shows the running total, the current rate, and the closest partial match anyone has produced so far.
3. If it ever hits
The wallet splits in half. One half goes into the two coins' liquidity, a quarter each, the other half is cut into 1,041 equal shares, one for every machine. Hold one machine, take one share of 528 BTC. Hold forty, take forty. The split follows the tokens, not the wallets, so it holds no matter who owns them at the time.

The rig is open. Point a miner at it and your phrases join the same total and the same feed, credited to real machines in the collection. It needs nothing but Node.

Miners reporting right now: 1. One of those is the cloud rig, which runs whether or not anybody else joins.

While this page is open your browser checks a few phrases too, at about the cost of the animation behind it. It has done 0 this visit. Switch it off.

Every phrase is generated and derived the same way a wallet would, so the search is real. If a machine ever lands on a full match, it writes the phrase to disk and the feed shows it to everybody at once. The odds of that are covered under the numbers below.

Say the impossible happens. A machine lands the phrase and the wallet opens. The coins split three ways. Half goes to the machines, one share each. A quarter goes into BEEP's liquidity and a quarter into BOOP's. Everything below is priced at the bitcoin price this second.

Five hundred and twenty eight coins a machine, and the other half split between two coins' liquidity, for a wallet that has not moved in over fifteen years and is not about to. We did the division so you would not have to. The price above is live. The odds are right below.

A machine lands the phrase. Then what? Here is the whole path, including the one step that needs a human.

1. The machine writes it down
The moment a phrase matches, the miner saves it and the feed shows it to everybody at once. There is no quiet window where only we know.
2. The coins are moved out
The phrase opens the wallet and the coins are swept to an address we control. This is the step that only exists if the impossible happens.
3. Half is sold for ETH
Bitcoin cannot be paid to an Ethereum address, so half the stash is sold and bridged to Robinhood Chain. This is the one step that is not trustless. A person has to sell coins on an exchange. We will publish every transaction, but you would be taking our word for this part and you should know that.
4. The ETH goes into the split contract, and it is sealed
Sealing fixes the share at the pot divided by 1,041 and hands away every remaining power. The contract has no withdraw, no pause, no upgrade and no deadline. After sealing, the only way a single wei leaves is a holder claiming. Not even we can take it back.
5. You claim
Connect the wallet holding your machines and press claim. The contract asks the collection who owns each one, pays that share, and marks it claimed forever. You can claim one machine or all of them in a single transaction.

No snapshot, no registration, no form to fill in and no allowlist of who gets paid. The machine is the claim ticket. The other half of the wallet goes to the bitcoin address in the table, and from there into the two coins' liquidity, a quarter of the wallet each. That address is published today, while the wallet is still shut, so nobody can swap it for another one on the day. Watch it yourself; the moment anything lands there you will see it before we say a word.

This is the size of the room the machines are searching.

The machines started at one end of that room and they are working across it. Nobody has told them how big it is, and nobody is going to.

Is the mining real or is it a fake counter?
Real. The worker source is public, every phrase is generated and derived properly, and the totals come from workers reporting in. You can run one yourself and watch your own count show up in the total.
What happens if one of them hits?
Half the wallet goes into the two coins' liquidity, a quarter each, and half is cut into 1,041 shares, one to every machine, which works out at 528 BTC each. The split is written at the token level, so it holds no matter who is holding at the time. The rig writes the phrase to disk the moment it matches and the feed shows it to everybody at once.
Why Satoshi's wallet and not any other?
Because those coins have not moved since 2009 and everybody already agrees they never will. Picking a wallet nobody expects to move is the whole gag.
Did Satoshi's wallet even have a seed phrase?
No. Seed phrases were specified in 2013, four years after those coins were mined, and the early client just kept a bag of unrelated random keys. So the machines are searching a space the target was never in. They have not been told, and they would not stop.
What happens to the machines after the mint?
They keep running. The rig is not tied to a mint window, and the counter does not stop when the sale does.
