one of these days, I might just take 0.01BTC and figure out how to write a script to dust every single casascius address made, redeemed and unredeemed. That would end the debate.
Would you guys hate me?
*We* might not hate you, but historians 100 years from now will probably think you're an asshole.
It only takes a $15 baseball bat to wreck a car dealership, and yet people manage to not do it. Ruminate on this for a bit.
Reminds me of Herostratus, a greek guy who burned the temple of Artemis for the sole purpose of becoming (in)famous. After being executed, they actually made it forbidden to speak his name upon penalty of death in order to deprive him of his goal.
Perhaps its better i be known as the original casascius / physical coin historian myself
I would not be surprised if someone one day dusted all the cas coins, just to be the guy who did it.
Funny thing is that my rational opinion is that it does not matter = free bitcoins.
But I must admit, I think it beautiful to see that 1 single transaction from Mike and the ballance is 1.00000000 BTC.
Anyway, if someone transfered 1 Satoshi to my coins and tagged the tx "Herostratus was here", I would properly find it amusing and a piece of history.
