Title: The first Bitcoin payment ever Post by: flatfly on November 21, 2012, 11:04:12 PM According to my research, this seems to be the first actual transaction recorded in the blockchain:

It's interesting that it doesn't use a change address. The change goes back to the sending address. [EDIT:] According to this page (http://bitcoinreport.blogspot.be/2011/01/first-bitcoins-ever-spent.html), it is indeed the first payment ever, and was sent by Satoshi to Hal Finney.

That is correct. Title: Re: The first Bitcoin payment ever Post by: jl2035 on November 21, 2012, 11:58:44 PM 10 BTC... that's quite a money these days... :)
