Davos DNA data storage challenge / Bitcoin challenge
Nick Goldman presented his group's work on DNA-storage at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos on 21 January 2015. As part of this presentation, he set a challenge. Test tubes containing samples of DNA encoding 1 Bitcoin (1 BTC or 1 ?) were distributed to the audience. The first person to sequence (read) the DNA and decode the files it contains can take possession of the Bitcoin. PhD student Sander Wuyts solved this challenge in January 2018. The files in this project are the ones used for decoding.
