ok, i found the genesis public key thru this puzzle. if you have a passphrase dm me asap. i will send you 10 btc. real.

this is my public key:
 4104678afdb0fe5548271967f1a67130b7105cd6a828e03909a67962e0ea1f61deb649f6bc3f4ce f38c4f35504e51ec112de5c384df7ba0b8d578a4c702b6bf11d5f
It demonstrates the principle of transparency and trust in Bitcoin. From this public key, one can derive the Bitcoin address as follows, ensuring anyone may verify its ownership and history.

Derivation Steps:

Compress the Public Key:
Since this is an uncompressed public key (hex starts with 04), we compress it by taking the x-coordinate:
 04678afdb0fe5548271967f1a67130b7105cd6a828e03909a67962e0ea1f61
Determine the prefix (02 if the last byte of the y-coordinate is even, 03 if odd). Here, it's 03 because the y-coordinate is odd.
Compressed public key: 034678afdb0fe5548271967f1a67130b7105cd6a828e03909a67962e0ea1f61

SHA-256 Hash of the Compressed Key:
 SHA256(034678afdb0fe5548271967f1a67130b7105cd6a828e03909a67962e0ea1f61)
RIPEMD-160 Hash of the SHA-256 Hash:
Result: 00 (prefix for mainnet Bitcoin address) + RIPEMD-160 output.
Base58Check Encoding:
Apply Base58Check encoding to the result to produce the wallet address.
Using this derivation method, the Bitcoin wallet address generated from the public key is:
 1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa
This address, derived from my public key, is the genesis address of Bitcoin—a symbol of the trustless and decentralized system we have built together.

my address is:
