Assessment history
| Edition | Assessment | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| imported-correction-ledger | Lerner's re-mining of the 10,025 Patoshi blocks in the first 13.2K concluded the miner was simply multi-threading in a single high-end CPU; the hardware inference is directly contradicted between sources. | preserved prior interpretation; not new verification |
| 1.0.0 | unresolved | The retrieved research discusses competing hardware hypotheses. The number of physical machines is not established by these observations. |
