Title: Using the blockchain to store notes
Post by: bg002h on January 29, 2012, 12:08:51 AM
Perhaps a silly idea, but, if I created a vanity address like 1lockercomb....and funded it with 0.12027016, would I always be able to see that transaction? What if I took the BTC off the address? Will the transaction always be in the block chain?

I had my locker combination in a note on my phone, but somehow lost it...it would be nice if something more permanent could keep track of this kinda stuff for me :)

Every transaction, ever, is stored in the block chain. It will always be in the block chain.
Unfortunately, the vanity address 1Lkrcmb is very hard to generate, and adding more letters will only make it harder.

I created this "note".  I am very proud of it so I post it every chance I get :)
Code:
11When1DieBuryMeDeepLayTwoXVEY5jv 
11SpeakersAtMyFeetAPairofXXTyrHor
11HeadphonesonMyHeadAndXXXXYUSvnd
11ALwaysPLayTheGratefuLDeadWdq4Xo
Pretty cool eh?

It is the last transaction in this block:

It is there forever.
