As soon as I can get in, I'm going to spend a LOT of time on this wiki. It needs it.  |

Wait, isn't this what we were saying after the april bubble?  |

I was looking for ways to sell Realm of the Mad God items, so I looked through the local forum and I saw someone selling items for... what's this, "bitcoin" you speak of? I looked into it. March 31, 2013 early early morning near midnight. I figured it was some central server trying to avoid the governments, got a couple faucet dispensals, then forgot about it. (I did check the exchange rate, saw it was $96, said damn that's high.) Later on May 28 a friend showed me BitVegas, then a very popular enterprise. Oh yeah, bitcoin! I saw that the price was now around $140 and showed a friend, and we discovered that bitcoins were decentralized, that they had to be mined.... Oh, how we tried to mine them! We spent about 24 hours with our laptops collecting satoshis before throwing in the towel on that one. Then came the bit mines... Made a lot of friends and money there. (Maybe someone from the bit mines is reading this. My ign is cossacksson) I'm happy to have found bitcoin when I did. I wouldn't have chosen a different time, for I probably wouldn't have met all these people  |

Nice that you were keeping count ^_^
Well it's right there, under my activity level. I'm honored that you should decide to put it here The 7000th will be here too, unless you stop updating the thread. I certainly will keep it updated! |

I thought that it would be appropriate to post my 6000th post in this thread.

Guys, stop frowning about having less than 1 BTC! It's still a lot of money, and think of its potential value in the future  HODL!!!!!!!!111111 |

Putting that statement in the genesis block is also proof that no bitcoins existed before January 3rd, 2009.
Indeed, so he was proving to everybody he didn't premine a ton of coins thus creating scamcoin. Also fitting headline, banks will probably collapse again in due time Yeah. I don't believe this quote was actually discovered until around 2011, interestingly. By the way satoshi did premine about 500 BTC. Those bitcoins are totally dwarfed by the bitcoins satoshi mined post-release. |

I don't understand what the last chart is in comparison to
how many more posts people have than satoshi |

Thanks for the mentions, guys! http://bitslog.wordpress.com/2014/04/03/chain-archeology/http://www.amongtech.com/who-has-the-first-50-bitcoins-mined-by-satoshi-that-were-ever-spent/@niels: Satoshi, the creator of Bitcoin is expected to have many millions of Bitcoins making him the richest Bitcoin millionaire in the world, but there is currently only 1 block that has been confirmed is from Satoshi. Actually, Sergio and I have and can link thousands of blocks to satoshi with good confidence. Block 9 is only special because it's the only block satoshi is known to have ever spent the bitcoins from... The rest haven't moved, at all. From the original 50, only 6.31 BTC are still circulating today and there is a small chance, your wallet might contain .00001 of the very first circulating bitcoins mined by Satoshi him self. Not a small chance. It's mathematically improbable that your address doesn't have some of satoshi's coins in it. |

A bitcoiner sent me a very very interesting article today. Screenshot of Hal's first transactions included.  Bgo is Hal. Hal mined block 235, which he was previously unknown to have found. Edit 15:47. I checked all other transactions visible in the screenshot; they coincide perfectly with what I've concluded previously. Feeling really good about myself right now.Edit 16:32. Here's a list of spent blocks we've linked so far:

*pseudonyms invented by me Edit April 5 23:09. I'll now propose a system of nomenclature for early mining patterns that remain unspent. Rather than getting a pseudonym based on characters in the address, they will be represented by USM followed by the block number where their pattern was first seen. So, the first person other than satoshi to use bitcoin would be USM-12. (No, not Hal) Edit 23:15. That stands for Un spent Miner. Edit 23:23:  Here's the next 150 blocks. Edit 23:24:  Satoshi omitted. See the lines? I sure do. I think I'll get to the end of this iteration before identifying them. |

It seems that both satoshi and the first early adopter (who picked up block 12) have stopped mining shortly after Jan/09/2009 04:33:09 [3PM EST]. Bitcoin was essentially dead for 24 hours, until satoshi put his rig back on (and in doing so, reset his extraNonce and begin the next iteration) and found block 15 on Jan/10/09 04:45:46 [3PM EST]. (He then found block 16, an impressive 12 seconds later (a record at the time.))
I'm not certain why satoshi mined block 0 on the 3rd, and then waited for the 9th to release the client. There's probably a good reason, but we'll see. Maybe.
...Edit 16:14. From the data I've got so far, January 10 is cut in half. Bitcoin "died" again at around 7 AM [6AM EST], to be revived at 3:30 PM [2PM EST], 8 hours later. Odd timings. Why would Satoshi drop out at 3PM and not restart for an entire day, then next drop out at 6AM and revive at 2PM? If 3PM was in his local time at night and something caused his computer to stop (a bug, perhaps, or network problem; has happened to me many times with overnight runs of something), then what caused a stop halfway around the clock at 7AM, which would likely be during the day? It's possible satoshi was only running one computer at the time, and turned it off while he slept? Since we don't really know if he lives in Japan, we can't assume what day and night for satoshi is yet. Maybe if we can get more data. |

I'd like to see a ukrainian board. Right now you just post in the russian board with google translate.

Good to see that you've figured it out. I recommend setting up some 100% cold paper wallets, just so you have that added sense of security.  |

21,000,000 BTC
or
21,000,000,000 mBTC
or
21,000,000,000,000 uBTC
or
2,100,000,000,000,000 sats
People just need to think like cents instead of dollars, like in the early 1800s

$400  Looks like you'll be filling that tonight I sure hope so. Don't know how low we're going, but I want in somewhere. Bitcoin's playing limbo, how low can we go? |

How low can you go, bitcoin?
I'll go for some limbo if I can get some cheap coins..
