OG Bitcoin Miner Bit Hasher 0001 by House of Ralfus

Artist Name and Artwork Title:

OG Bitcoin Miner Bit Hasher 0001 by House of Ralfus

Description:

The original ledger device.

An antique wooden abacus mounted on an original French antique oval solid wood plinth, finished with a solid brass plaque engraved using traditional techniques: "OG Bitcoin Miner / Bit Hasher 0001 / House of Ralfus."

Before ASICs, before GPUs, before CPUs - there was the abacus. The oldest computing device known to humanity, the original tool for counting. Modern Bitcoin miners run trillions of hash operations per second. But strip away the silicon and the cooling and the megawatts: every hash is, at its core, counting.

This sculpture honours the work at its most ancient form. The first miner. The genesis hasher. The original ledger device.

A wink and a thesis at once.

Artist Bio:

House of Ralfus is a sovereign fine art studio founded by artist and curator Ralfy, building the visual vocabulary of Bitcoin through traditional craft. 

The studio works in block print, woodcut, linocut, letterpress, painting, sculpture and drawing - on handmade papers sourced from the mountains of Bhutan and Nepal and the mills of Japan, France, Germany and Italy, Belle Arti 649 Italian clear-primed Belgian linen canvas, and original antique woods, frames and sculptures, with hand-mixed oil inks, solid and liquid Sennelier oils, gold leaf pigment, charcoals and acrylics, printed on a 19th-century Harrild & Sons Albion press and various large and medium scale relief and etching presses. 

The studio's body of work spans a growing series of collections: The Genesis, Temple of Bitcoin, El Salvador, El Árbol de Bitcoin, OG Bitcoin Miner, Women of Bitcoin, Free, The Honoured, and the latest, The Bitcoin Lexicon - an ongoing collection translating Bitcoin's foundational ideas into permanent, irreplaceable objects. 

House of Ralfus was the sole curator of the inaugural Bitcoin Histórico in San Salvador (November 2025), the world's first government-backed Bitcoin conference, run by the National Bitcoin Office of El Salvador, bringing together 30+ artists and 50+ pieces.
