Exploring the prenet genesis transaction details

I was reading through some old topics and got curious about the prenet genesis transaction. Anyone have an idea what that hex data looked like? I did some research and think I got close, but I'm not sure.

Oh for sure, the prenet genesis transaction has some quirks. First off, it doesn't have the transaction version included in the hash like usual. Plus, you find the nSequence in the CTxOut instead of the CTxIn. Lastly, OP_CODESEPARATOR and OP_CHECKSIG are actually 0xa9 and 0xaa, not the other values. Took me a while to realize that.

I've been trying to figure out Satoshi's seed from that time. You know, the one used to mine the prenet coinbase transaction back in 2008. I saw "695dbf0e" listed as "bnNonce" but it's kinda random-looking. Since it's just a 32-bit number, how many possibilities could there be? Anyone got insights on how they generated the private key with that randomness?

That 2025 address has a small amount, but still, it’s interesting. I don’t know about the whole randomness thing, sounds kinda sketchy. Like how can they ensure it’s truly random? Just because its from the BigNumber library doesn’t mean it was secure.
