Re:Bitcoin puzzle #66 was solved: 6.6 BTC (~$400k) withdrawn by aeonik on Sunday September 15, 2024 @05:49PM (#41550732)
I looked it up.

1. SHA-256: Used twice (double SHA-256) for block hashing and once in address generation.

2. RIPEMD-160: Used once in address generation (after SHA-256).

3. ECDSA: Used once for transaction signing and verification.

4. Base58Check: Used once for address encoding (includes a checksum generated using SHA-256).
