If you look at this gif image (least significant byte LSB values for the blocks mined 2009 - mid 2010)

source: https://news.bitcoin.com/online-sleuths-believe-satoshi-nakamotos-bitcoin-stash-is-a-blockchain-treasure-hunt-meant-to-be-found/
then you can see that there are several ranges where the LSB values are not distributed uniformly. The whole picture should look like the values 60 - 255, then we could say that it is random. But what was done here can't be there for some programming necessity or bug, and why should Satoshi mine these values onto the blockchain?

Several people have explained that you are chasing something that does not exist.

Kano did a great job of explaining why artifacts like this can occur in otherwise random data.

If you choose not to accept reasonable explanations and reality, then there is nothing that anyone will say that will dissuade you from your quest.

Btw. Satoshi's blocks contain 1.1 million BTC and not 800,000.

Maybe more.  Maybe less. There is no way to know for certain. Many people have made attempts to guess which blocks have a high probability of having been mined by Satoshi.  Some of those guesses are clearly invalid. Other's are likely mistaken.

You seem to have a lot of confidence in things that are not well supported by evidence, and very little confidence in things that are well supported by evidence.  If that's how your thoughts and decisions are informed, then any further conversation is useless and a waste of time.
