4 years ago. A transaction in block 74,638 created about 184 billion bitcoin by exploiting a bug in how the software added up large amounts. Satoshi Nakamoto released a fix, Bitcoin 0.3.10, the same day, and the network replaced the bad block.

Hal Finney, the cryptographer who received the first bitcoin transaction from Satoshi Nakamoto, died aged 58, five years after he was diagnosed with ALS (motor neurone disease). As he had arranged, his body was cryopreserved by the Alcor Life Extension Foundation in Scottsdale, Arizona.
