All three are also mentioned at: bitcoincashresearch.org/t/p2sh32-a-long-term-solution-for-80-bit-p2sh-collision-attacks/750/23 in addition to some OP_HASH256 ones. The thread manages to identify one of the OP_HASH256 ones as a fake Genesis block hash.

They can be viewed disassembled at:

They were mined on 01 Apr 2014, 02 Apr 2014 and 03 Apr 2014, suggesting a possible April fool's reference?

Each is worth 0.0002 BTC, which is only 20$ as of 2024, so it's not worth much effort beyond the fun aspect of it. But it is fun!

I was top user 25 on Stack Overflow in 2024  Updated 2025-04-18  +Created 2025-01-01

In 2024 I was user #25 with the most reputation gained on Stack Overflow.

This is up from #38 in 2023 is even though I have answered less questions than before.

This is likely because LLMs have killed users that just answered lots of easy new questions, and favored those like me who only answer more important questions found through Google.

I was #13 on the last quarter, so this is likely to go even higher in 2025. More details at: Section "Ciro Santilli's Stack Overflow contributions"
