Saying hello, and have a few questions

[Warren]

I think that laszlo should get free pizza once per week for lifetime either from a pizzeria as a promotion or from wealthy bitcoiners (me not included, i sold it all in 2011

Good idea, I'm all up for supporting this.

Welcome back Bitcoin Hall of Famer! I hope we can see you more around here. Opening a pizzeria is a good idea you should consider. It could be a meeting place for Bitcoiners.

Maybe we could approach the Papa John's where it was ordered from and make the deal of "free pizza for life" with them? That should be some pretty good PR for them (even if the transaction was actually in fiat).

The pizzeria that sold the first Bitcoin pizza ever!


It would probably at least attract people locally who are into Bitcoin...

[boumalo]

What would be also really interesting if have a message from the person that bought the pizza, know what he was thinking about bitcoin, the trade and the price upward potential.

10,000 bitcoins could have been exchanged against 41$ at the time apparently

Jercos bought the pizza for laszio

[xinzark]

I spent it all on pizza long ago:  https://blockchain.info/address/1XPTgDRhN8RFnzniWCddobD9iKZatrvH4

3-4 years ago there were less than 100 people frequenting this forum, and I was pretty happy to trade 10,000 coins for pizza.  I mean people can say I'm stupid, but it was a great deal at the time.  I don't think anyone could have known it would take off like this.

Laszlo

Is that really you , that guy is billion now 

[seleme]

Wow, laszlo is back.

I bought my first coin in March 2013 and I was extremely lucky and successful trader. Even if you could easily say that you don't have BTC anymore to keep low profile, I don't care, it would be shame that I have more BTC than you do despite you contributing much more to thing that looks like my life changer.

1 BTC sent your way you Bitcoin legend

You sure he still has access to that wallet address?

[seleme]

I've sent to wallet from his signature. I hope he has access to that one and he'll use it to go out on pizza with his family 

[Winalunt]

You can always do the faucet and forget about the pizza 

[guybrushthreepwood]

I reckon he might have had enough of spending bitcoins on pizza lol.

I bought two Galaxy Megas for 1.1 BTC recently. I hope I'm going to be angry on myself for doing it sometime in near future

I hope so too, less that would just be adding insult to injury haha.

Welcome back Lazlo!
you are a living legend and a pioneer to the most of us here!

i agree that without you and others making those first bitcoin transactions we wouldn't be here now talking about it!
Well Done!

[MakeBelieve]

You are a legend among Bitcoin with that massive transactions for 2 pizza's.

Hi all, I'm a new Bitcoin user and I'm starting to generate some of my own coins.  I have a few friends who are also using it now.

I am a programmer by trade and have a fair amount of experience with different platforms like linux, Mac OS, iPhone, etc.

I am interested in running Bitcoin on other platforms like iPhone and I'm wondering if there is any interest in this or if anyone has a problem with this.  I'm also wondering if someone has already done this so I don't waste my time.  Thanks!

My Bitcoin address is 1XPTgDRhN8RFnzniWCddobD9iKZatrvH4

Good luck getting anything bitcoin-related on the iPhone, Apple are notoriously against it. They recently removed the Blockchain app from the appstore with no reason.

history comprehension fail, that post is from 2010...lol

[shmadz]

Wow.

I have to say that, from one small hobbyist miner to the pioneer of GPU mining: You, sir, are my hero, (well, right up there with Satoshi anyways)

If bitcoin succeeds, I predict there will be a statue of you built someday.

[shmadz]

Hehe, didn't know that u made the first gpu miner, that is pretty amazing!

If any of you could go back in time and had the mining power to mine as much btc as you wanted to, when would you stop mining, knowing the price will end up at 1250 in 4 years? When would you have enough btc to not give a fuck anymore?

kind of an ethical question.

an answer to your *kind-of* ethical question.

I was mining back then too, (not quite as far back) I haven't stopped mining since, and I don't expect I ever will.

This is such an incredibly good idea. Just make sure it's pizza and beer -- family style during the day, more pub style later on??

 I am still trying to get my head around the whole "decentralized autonomous whatever" thing, but this thread so far makes me wonder if I'm not witnessing the first crowd-sourced launch of what could be the first attempt at one?

If so, I'm in.

Wow thanks, I do still have access to it.  You should never delete a wallet, even if you've spent what was 'in' it.
I appreciate the donations, but nobody owes me anything.. I generated my share and I spent it, it was just at a time when the value was lower, but so was the generation difficulty, and the block reward was 50.

Are you hungry?

I'm running a special on pizzas.

I will sell you two pizzas at 1/10th the price of whatever price you paid for your last pizza order purchased with bitcoin.

shoot me a PM if you are interested!


anyway, once again congrats for being a Bitcoin folk hero, and I hope and trust that you are still sitting on at least a few coins...
