The first P2P receive address (Hal Finney, reported)

1Q2TWHE3GMdB6BZKafqwxXtWAWgFt5Jvm3

In block 170, on 12 January 2009, a key first seen in block 9's coinbase and historically attributed to Satoshi Nakamoto sent 10 BTC to this key: the first bitcoin transaction between two people. Hal Finney wrote in 2013 that he 'was the recipient of the first bitcoin transaction, when Satoshi sent ten coins to me as a test.' No source names this key; the link rests on his account and the matching amount and date. Block 170 paid the public key directly, and this address is how explorers show that key. The ten coins moved on in block 92,240 in November 2010. Small payments still arrive.
