[Interest check] Satoshi's Genesis Block newspaper

[monkeynuts]

How did you get this for .26 ?!?!

As I remember he sniped me in an auction !!! Glad I had already got the second copy that seller was selling by PM  .... but at a higher price 

I have tried all outlets in the UK for additional copies. There are none available. Some say they have them, you go through to purchase, they accept your order, and they then are forced to cancel it when they realise they dont actually have one. These do not come up for sale very often. If anyone is wanting a copy, take this chance, no saying when the next one would come along. Rarer than a Karpeles apology.

(and no I am not selling mine !)

Wow i never knew the history behind block 0.

This is another one of those "damn i wish i had a time machine" moment.

Maybe it is also a clue about Satoshi's mysteries?

Well... You can look at it in two ways:
1. Satoshi must be from UK since he used the UK times.
2. Satoshi is not from UK, since he would never use a paper from his home country, since it would be easier to guess his identity.

So bottom line, the newspaper provides no useable clue.

Speaking off Satoshi, I think those analysis made, where someone found correlation in noun spectra for the first 0-50000 blocks is really interesting.
The statical information could be used to make a "good guess" on how many block rewards he actually claimed.
Another interesting thing, the first blocks mined (especially block 0), is much more worth than 50 BTC, these virgin coins could properly be sold on auction at a much higher price.

Naw i didnt mean it literally/simply like for a location of where Satoshi is from. Just a piece of the puzzle or words in the articles etc. After all, this is cryptography and developers often love adding "easter eggs" to their projects. So why not a Crypto easter egg?

Yipes, after reading that, maybe I'm not selling mine

I did once have another copy and I traded it with Charlie ... Not for anywhere near the price he was talking about selling one for though. Regretted it for a while until that other one came along. Thought I wasn't gonna find another.

I am sure there are some more out there..... Somewhere.

Bumping with a related image...

I was just about to comment and ask if there was anyway you would be interested in doing a print run off something related to that newspaper, whether that be a copy of the front page or something inspired by it, etc...

Would be the next best thing next to actually owning a copy.

You were just about to and then you did?

Well you posted a picture of your last screen print, and that made me think you were hinting at doing another.  I guess I was just overly excited.

A-ha!

Copyright law prevents me from duplicating the cover without permission, but I've been toying with doing a print that involves this particular newspaper in a "derived work" sort of manner. Summer is busy time for paid work, though, so you might not see it for a while

Sorry for necro-ing this thread. Mods, feel free to relocate it to Collectibles.

Just seeing if there's any interest in a 24h auction on January 3, 2016, to mark Bitcoin's 7th.

Update: This item is rolled into the big collector's sale I've got going over here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1288536.0
