Title: BitBills -- Full 36 BTC Set
Post by: bg002h on December 16, 2012, 04:07:45 AM
Anyone interested in a full set of BitBills? BTC1, 5, 10, and 20 notes. These were the first Bitcoin bills...before bitaddress.org or Casascius coins, there were BitBills! This is your chance to own some early Bitcoin history!

Pm me if interested. Payment in BTC only.

Just curious, but has it ever been determined if these guys kept the secret keys after manufacturing the bills?  These guys just seemed to disappear one day.

I originally had two full sets. I opened one and redeemed them on mt Gox without a problem. The other set checks out fine when querying the addresses.

He (Doug) did disappear suddenly. I think he lost a fair chunk of change. Not sure why he never came back. Perhaps he feared some legal issues? I never heard anyone have trouble with a BitBill...but I'm not sure how's my were ever made. It was kinda short lived.  Still seems like a good idea, but I think Casascius coins work pretty well too.

Anyhow, I'm glad to have this bit of Bitcoin history.
