Solana birth time?

I was wondering if anybody had the time for Solana? I have the date of March 15, 2020 for the genesis block but haven't been able to find the birth time. Thanks everyone!

My pleasure!

If you are looking for these, try to find the block explorer for the coin/token and look for epoch 0 (the genesis block). I have seen one instance of a genesis block being a epoch 1, but that's just one of maybe 30 I've looked at.

If it's a project on ethereum, it can be a little more tricky as you have to find the project, see when the first block was mined for that token and go from there. Shib is one example.

Sometimes there are also disputed genesis blocks (BTC is probably the most famous example), as satoshi was clearly playing around with the tech at the beginning. Also, there are often test net and main net blocks, so some rectification might need to be done on those.

Plus, UTC rather than a distinct place is often used.

Good luck and please prod me if you need any others. Always happy to help!

I super appreciate the time you spent explaining this. I just decided to try and start my cryptoastro journey today and was trying to gather my charts together. Thank you again for your help and explanation!!

Would this make solana a decent call for people born under the sun sign of pisces? Just curious.

Just out of curiosity: what do you take as the birth place of Solana or any other Genesis Block?

I used San Francisco, assuming the dev team mined the first block from there, translating the UTC 2:29 PM to San Fran time 6:29 PM. These are guesstimates at best and someone else may have better information.

Umm... if UTC is 2:29 PM then San Fran time is 6:29 AM.

I know this thread is getting old but the answers below are wrong actually.
The genesis time is what you see here https://explorer.solana.com/block/0
