It's amazing to read out this thread in the hopes of knowing what blocks satoshi has mined but is there any reason why you want to know it?

We exactly know what blocks Satoshi mined. https://whale-alert.medium.com/the-satoshi-fortune-e49cf73f9a9b

The reason is the ''thread question'': Satoshi's blocks have unusual nonce values, why?

I wonder, though; don't you have enough doubt to consider this a probable scenario? Don't you consider it a time waste to start searching for what could Satoshi have put as private keys in the improbable scenario they wanted to make this unfair reward?

I think that Satoshi knew that we would have this situation: a lot of blocks in the early days of Bitcoin, which they had mined. Because they had to mine these blocks to let the Bitcoin network run. They had enough time to test it and knew the results.

How long have you been working on this design Satoshi? It seems very well thought out, not the kind of thing you just sit down and code up without doing a lot of brainstorming and discussion on it first. Everyone has the obvious questions looking for holes in it but it is holding up well

Since 2007. At some point I became convinced there was a way to do this without any trust required at all and couldn't resist to keep thinking about it. Much more of the work was designing than coding.
Fortunately, so far all the issues raised have been things I previously considered and planned for.

Satoshi had a plan for Bitcoin. So I think Satoshi also had a plan for these early mined coins. And he marked them, that we can separate them.

Unfair? Let's Satoshi decide this. I don't think that Satoshi would create something, that rewarded participants without competition.

He could easily mine to a burn address like 1111111111111111111114oLvT2 or 1BitcoinEaterAddressDontSendf59kuE and we knew that these coins won't be used anymore.

But, Satoshi's public keys are known. Back in 2009, the coinbase transaction was P2PK, not P2PKH. So, they couldn't mine to a burning-looking address. They had to firstly mine them and then send them to such address.

I think that Satoshi would have sent them to such burn addresses if he had wanted it. Yes, firstly mine them and then send them to P2PKH addresses. The first of such a transaction was done 2 weeks after the release in 2009. https://btc.com/btc/transaction/6f7cf9580f1c2dfb3c4d5d043cdbb128c640e3f20161245aa7372e9666168516. We wouldn't have this thread, if Satoshi did this.
