The Bitcoin Limbo Game, 0.1 BTC REWARD

[BurtW]

All joking (I thought it was funny and obviously not an attempt to cheat, at least they followed the correct posting format) and annoying people who just (incorrectly) post without bothering to read the OP and the thread aside:

dooglus's 18e98-1c is still the MinAddress to beat.

I have decided that I will send the reward to dooglus unless someone comes up with a real lower address in the next 4 days.

Any "older timers" want to claim your 0.1 BTC?

you, guys need an older address

[BurtW]

My guess is they are both victims of a public school education and just don't know that the number 4xxxx is greater than the number 1xxxx.  They might also not be familiar with the concept "less than"

i hope Satoshi Nakamoto will reveal himself in 2 days.

I guess they don't recognise that character strings containing letters can be numbers, and so don't think to compare them numerically.

yeah. i had the same trouble. but figured it out after seeing first few submissions

Am i allowed to buy bitcoin address of someone else without getting a negative trust?

I don't see a problem with that.

Anybody that owns a Casascius coin has done exactly that.

Do you trust the seller not to steal the bitcoins that you add to the address?

[Keefe]

BurtW, can you give us an exact deadline (date/time in UTC)? I'll probably have an older address in a couple days. (Sorry dooglus!)

[BurtW]

I am a bit flexible on that.  This is all for fun and it is only $60 $55 $50 $45 $40 bucks anyway.  Tell them to get their act together and get in here before it is too late.

If no one posts a lower MinAddress by Monday some time I will award the $40 $35 $30 to dooglus.

Dang the way things are going I might have to increase the reward!

LOL.  I was just thinking the same thing.

I suppose that Keefe might know a very early adopter that simply isn't available at the moment to sign in to the forum and provide a MinAddress.

However, I was assuming that this is more along the lines of what ndnhc was asking about.  I figured that Keefe recently purchased a Casascius coin and is waiting on delivery, so he can't post the MinAddress until the coin arrives and he cracks it open.

When did Casascius begin manufacturing his coins?  I know it was before I discovered bitcoin, but was it before dooglus's address showed up in a block?

[BurtW]

I bought some of the earliest coins.  Here is one I opened in order to make sure it worked before I bought a whole bunch of them so I think it is my oldest physical coin:

233b5-114c

I don't think dooglus has to worry about physical Bitcoins.

Done right?

Message and amount verified.

2010-08-08 03:58:48 is the date/time to beat.

About 5 days from now I will close out this contest unless we get a lower MinAddress.
