Assessment history
| Edition | Assessment | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| imported-correction-ledger | The original implementation hard-coded block 0 and never inserted its coinbase into the transaction database, so the output was never in the UTXO set. The Bitcoin Wiki says it is not known whether this was intentional or accidental. | preserved prior interpretation; not new verification |
| 1.0.0 | unresolved | Unresolved in this edition: the retrieved sources do not yet establish a sufficiently narrow, independently checked assessment. The previous editorial interpretation is retained in the audit data, not promoted as a new verified finding. |
