January 3rd, 2009, bitcoin came alive after Satoshi Nakamoto mined the genesis block. Embedded in the block was a message that is a shortening of a newspaper headline of the day: "The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks". The full headline: "Chancellor Alistair Darling on brink of second bailout for banks." One day before Nakamoto registered Bitcoin.org, somebody registered Netcoin.org on the anonymous domain registrar AnonymousSpeech.
