Block 0. The first block of Bitcoin, woven.
The ground cloth is woven from the block's own hash: it sets the threading, tie-up and treadling of an 8-shaft loom, so this pattern belongs to Block 0 and no other. The coin and the headline Satoshi embedded in the block, "The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks", are woven in as a brocade weft. Top and bottom, the hash as a punch card: all 256 bits.
Woven on a simulated Jacquard loom, 160 × 240 threads.
Hash: 0x000000000019d6689c085ae165831e934ff763ae46a2a6c172b3f1b60a8ce26f
