During the first convention, Bruce Wagner was able to convince a shopkeeper to take the stuff as payment. Later that night, somebody broke into the the shopkeeper's shop and stole all his stuff. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fupload.wikimedia.org%2Fwikipedia%2Fcommons%2F2%2F26%2FDawson-golddust-1899.jpg&t=663&c=wWW_kCq-LelXWg)

And that's when people took notice, standing up for their rights to mine, own, sell, trade and horde the stuff. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2F25.media.tumblr.com%2Ftumblr_m6n7puqGwo1qgkh3mo6_500.gif&t=663&c=6M6InBJ51PyjeQ)

Faster and faster calculations were devised to mine the stuff. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2F25.media.tumblr.com%2Faa6ecb0a6268cc0ae5f268989d23804a%2Ftumblr_mfqoy0hwRV1qiseoho1_250.gif&t=663&c=dyr5wx_BLpgR9A)

Respect, excellent, mister TMIBTCITW. And here's Phin explaining his grandkids people already mined almost all bitcoins before they could even try. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Mud is cool, though, and edible, most of the time! ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.aa.co.nz%2Fassets%2Ftravel%2FExplore-NZ%2FSouth-Island%2FWest-Coast%2F_resampled%2Fcroppedimage750400-Gold-Panning-with-The-Bearded-Miners-Reefton-West-Coast.jpg%3Fm%3D1378873487&t=663&c=Xj_Req8L_sXIhQ)

[OVER] RIDDLES 2nd edition --- this was claimed. Look out for 3rd edition! I won't ever ask for a loan nor offer any escrow service. If I do, please consider my account as hacked.
