That's amazing! I've got the same combination on my luggage!

Don't be stupid and go deanonymizing yourself for some silly forum thread posted by someone who not only was faking being a long time user, but for which 2012 was the best he could do.

No idea. I don't remember, but why would you want to know op? Even if I did remember, do you need my private key too? What is the purpose here? Stop creating these pointless threads and focus on important topics instead.

Why would I do that? Without any reason, would I share my wallet information here? I do not think so. Forget it.

I don't remember even one but I don't get the idea of asking for it. You didn't tell what's your purpose of asking for old addresses. This sounds strange, honestly. You should've told your reason for asking because it sounds suspicious.

Although suspicious will answer just the same but will not post the addresses for security purposes, mine was 2015 on blockchain.info but after I've discovered how good Exodus and Jaxx is I shifted to both desktop wallet as my wallet, but still use my old wallet.

I don't remember but it should be my blockchain.info wallet address created in 2016. But why is this important to you op?  :-[

Post by: Genemind on May 19, 2019, 10:29:38 AM
I have created mine last 2016 on blockchain as well and still using it so it will be risky if I would share about its details.
I find it better if you have mentioned your intention, Op.
It's too private for everyone to share.

Craig, is that you? are you trying to figure out which one of the addresses you bought already has an owner so that this doesn't repeat again: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5144781.0

I still have my first private key with me. I remember I was 15 when I printed that in a paper and put it into my document file. It was my first bitcoin wallet even before segwit was introduced I have made transactions up to 0.5btc there :D

Are you sure this is your Bitcoin Address? Do you have proof or any signed message or stake your address to show it to us? because if this is really you, You have accumulated a lot of amounts on BTC, A total amount of 58.98185842 BTC I guess you are wealthy enough to really support this,

And this address of yours has accumulated 50 BTC and just move in an instant within 10 mins. staying at this address Well I have seen an old post that saying some warning about this address I think we should be careful.

I've posted a signed message with a bitcoin address here 3-4 years ago just in case my account gets hacked.
I'm too lazy to search for that post and I don't see any point.
I don't know if I still have control over that address,though.

Exposed so bad lol.

That is truth, have to be careful on who to trust online and offline. This times are not particularly charming, lots of changes are needed in society for sure.

Thanks for the warning for everyone.

It must of been one created on blockchain.info but can do not have access to it any longer since it was a web wallet and the site back then didnt provide any private keys to these wallets.
But most if not the majority of people dont remember which address they first used unless they had the bitcoin client installed on their pc.
So they more then likely still have access to their original one which would be on their desktop and not one from a web wallet.

I'm sorry because of you.
Hope you didn't loose to much btc there.
If I remember well, my first btc address I also opened on blockchain.info but I still have access to this address.

Well, I used a wallet address provided by Blockchain as my first for transactions but i lost the login and recovery details so i couldn't have access to it...i had no money in it tho (more reason why I lost access ro it.


Title: Re: What's the oldest bitcoin address you still have control over?
Post by: Jackrodwell on May 22, 2019, 09:03:03 PM
I still have control over my first and only bitcoin address, my address since 2016 still using it for all transactions till date, am happy that I have not misused it or get hacked.

Post by: DreamStage on May 23, 2019, 12:41:29 AM
I still keep one from Blockchain as from 2014 where new exchangers were emerging and everything was kinda a baby taking small steps towards an uncertain future 8)
Either way with current or old bitcoin addresses i still feel safe with Blockchain since i have never been hacked till today.

Mine comes from a local exchange I do not control its private key, I just used it to immediately exchange my bitcoin to our local currency, I've been using it for four years now, but I also have a wallet from blockchain.com, Exodus, and Electrum, this is where I store all Bitcoin because I have private keys on all these wallets.

Reading the post of Mr. gmaxwell, nice try OP.

I mean there are a lot of addresses used in the past since when the thread of posting your address here in the forum are said to be dangerous since people might snoop your address and track what is happening, that is the reason I usually change my address. Though the address I am using right now is the longest one.

Did you know?
You can search this address on Google and see the same post in swiftcointalk.org
