Trust Machines: Do you know that some of the bitcoins in your wallet might have been owned by Satoshi Nakamoto, the mysterious creator of Bitcoin? 😲
If you want to find out which of your sats are special, you need to learn about Ordinals.
Ordinals allow you to inscribe some pretty unique things directly on the Bitcoin blockchain. But the sats they are inscribed on might also be unique! even Rare!
The Ordinals protocol recognizes several rarity levels, depending on specific factors, such as :
Common: Any sat that is not the first sat of its block.
Uncommon: The first sat of each block.
Rare: The first sat of each difficulty adjustment period.
Epic: The first sat of each halving epoch.
Legendary: The first sat of each cycle.
Mythic: The first sat of the genesis block.
But there are other things that can make a sat special too, such as :
Maybe you really want to own a satoshi that was once held by Hal Finney, the first person to receive Bitcoin from Satoshi.
Maybe you love pizza and you want a sat that was part of the famous Bitcoin Pizza Day.
Maybe you want to own a sat that was mined on your birthday, etc.
Recently, there’s a growing number of “Sat Hunters” out there who are trying to track down these sats and claim them for themselves.
The Groups that are even going to making repeated deposits & withdrawals on exchanges to harvest the rare sats stored there.
Now, How to search rare sats? for this we need some tools/software to play around, such as:
🔸Ord
The core software for Ordinals, ord, has built-in “Sat Hunting” ability.
The barrier to entry is a bit higher, since you need to also run a full node, but it is the most powerful option. Once it’s been set up, it’s very easy to run a search and see all the results.

🔸OrdinalHub
OrdinalHub’s Sat Scanner allows you to input a wallet address to scan for unique sats directly from a web browser.
Just copy your wallet address, paste it into the tool, and viola! Instant results.

🔸Sating.io
Sating is another service that allows you to input a wallet address to scan for sats. Sating.io will also show you interesting sats that might have been held by Satoshi or Laszlo for some Pizza 😜
Sating will also help you isolate these sats and inscribe onto them.

If you already have inscriptions, you need to set up a profile at Ord.io then takes sat scanning a step further by scanning your wallet and telling you if you’re already holding any Inscriptions on rare sats.
By the way, Not all rare sats are old. In fact, many rare sats haven’t been mined yet! Many new Rare and Uncommon sats will be produced as new Bitcoin blocks are mined. The next Bitcoin halving, coming up in less than a year, will produce an Epic sat!
The rare sats you’re holding could be worth more than 1 $BTC itself !
So don't miss this opportunity and start hunting for rare sats today! 🚀
