Title: [WTS] Firstbits and Private Key for 1JGARZIK
Post by: wtfvanity on February 16, 2013, 01:53:39 AM
Yes, yes, I can hear people complaining already. But I really have it and I really will sell it if someone is interested. In fact, for some reason in 2011 I decided I wanted all the first bits for everything and I actually have over 20,000 first bits of common first names, business names, common words, etc.

Some more details about the product. The first bits are actually 1jgar but the vanity address is 1jgarzik

http://blockchain.info/fb/1jgar

Full address is 1JGaRziKizyk1HNRgjqQWZedDBxT2DNeF8

Current balance is 1 satoshi to reserve the firstbits back in 2011.

To prove that I have control over it, I have signed the following message:

Code:
wtfvanity currently controls the 1JGaRziKizyk1HNRgjqQWZedDBxT2DNeF8 BTC Address and private key

Code:
HEOtdrhjpzRMslvMPfAvvvt4T1yfYnRuwY0qfVUBMrDuGBH9GhohUPtxF1dF2LjO7mgvbQ82FA3IoMzUhaIs/Gc=

For those that may not know, 1JGarzik didn't get his firstbits and is a lead developer of Bitcoin and is now famous for being the only person with an ASIC mining machine from Avalon raking in the dough.

I will delete the private key and dump the key from my wallet. HOWEVER, that being said, accepting coins at this address would be extremely risky. If I were dishonest, any funds at any time available at this address could be taken. I guess more than anything it could be used as a conversation starter, or some very basic Bitcoin memorabilia.

Alright, go ahead and roast me  ;D

And MODS... if this isn't allowed, please get rid of it. If you want it in a different subforum, please move it. It really isn't a good or a service and I don't know that anyone has tried to sell one before.

Negative, you can verify that I own the key in your own client by verifying the signature.

Sure you do, but why would anyone in their right mind buy a private key generated in this fashion? If it were split in two pieces then sure, but this is just absolutely ridiculous.

You got it. Been squatting for a couple of years and my legs are getting tired. Unfortunately, 1stbits squatting wasn't profitable and never made sense haha

That's like asking me why I ate McDonalds 2 years ago. I was hungry and thought it was a good idea at the time. 50 lbs and 2 years later, the investment didn't pay off, did it?

 :o

LMAO didn't know being a scumbag was an investment now LOL

Had to invest the coins to reserve the firstbits. Look at the rates back when registered, they were as high as they are today!
