Title: A Bitcoin Fountain (Burbank, CA) - -> [DONE] Post by: ryanAC on February 20, 2013, 04:53:34 PM Today I tossed some Bitcoin, about a quarter ($.25 USD), into a fountain.

Below the date there is a sentence with 16 words. Take the first letter of each word (they are capitalized) and use that string of 16 characters as the passphrase to generate a Bitcoin address at http://brainwallet.org Grab the coin and have a nice day! http://www.bitcointreasurehunt.com/burbankfountain/fountain.jpg **** UPDATE 02.22.13: The fountain now holds **** UPDATE 02.23.13 PM: It looks like someone figured it out.... and decided to have a run at Satoshi Dice with it. (I don't think it ended up well, but see for yourself: https://blockchain.info/address/18eDvMe7cG643TwU8GqNrnAW3GLsJEQZBu (https://blockchain.info/address/18eDvMe7cG643TwU8GqNrnAW3GLsJEQZBu) ) Until next time...

If anyone else wants to flip a quarter into the fountain, go ahead... 18eDvMe7cG643TwU8GqNrnAW3GLsJEQZBu http://us.123rf.com/400wm/400/400/heidehibbard/heidehibbard0804/heidehibbard080400001/2817810-coins-tossed-in-a-fountain.jpg Title: Re: A Bitcoin Fountain (Burbank, CA) - -> BTC for the taking!

Post by: mc_lovin on February 23, 2013, 05:14:26 AM This is such a great idea. Now I'm going to look at plaques around the world and think about the possibility of bitcoins hiding in them.
I wonder how big the fountain will go? Everyone make a wish and toss in a bitcent! Title: Re: A Bitcoin Fountain (Burbank, CA) - -> BTC for the taking!

I wonder how big the fountain will go? Everyone make a wish and toss in a bitcent! Up to .3 BTC! Then it looks like the lucky person was trying to bump it up with S.Dice... not so lucky there. Whoever found it should post! Title: Re: A Bitcoin Fountain (Burbank, CA) - -> [DONE] Post by: Vernon715 on February 23, 2013, 08:08:03 PM This makes me wish i could teleport :(
