Daily bump.
dooglus's 18e98-1c is the MinAddress to beat.
To answer a question I got by PM: I will probably close out this contest at the end of this month unless there is a lot of activity but I expect activity will die off pretty rapidly as we go farther back into the blockchain.
Any "older timers" want to claim your 0.1 BTC?
I'm unclear about the required 0.1 BTC balance on the address. Does it need to stay on the address, or just be there when you check the address? I don't really understand why you ask for it to have a non-dust balance at all, since you also require proof of ownership anyway.

I don't really understand why you ask for it to have a non-dust balance at all, since you also require proof of ownership anyway. Because people (one specifically) cheated by claiming an old address where someone had posted the private key online after using it. They claimed the address as their own and proved it (they did have the private key). However they would not be foolish enough to send BTC to an address where it would probably be swept within seconds. The reason the address must have and maintain 0.1 BTC until I pay them is that someone could go ahead and send a small amount to an old publicly available private key, it gets swept, but they still make a profit on the scam. So, the rule was changed. The winning address must have 0.1 (or more) BTC. I have also now decided on how to end this thing: X consecutive days with no change in the winning address. I am open to suggestions on what X should be.

Saying that you don't trust someone because of their behavior is completely valid.

Hey SmokeTooMuch, Do you remember when you sent me 2x 0.01 BTC to test IP sending ? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=34.msg236#msg236Was this the first public Bitcoin transaction to an IP address ? Wonder if either of us still has that wallet ?

I'm pretty sure I still have it. I guess I'm going to check my old wallets for this game (not really for the reward, just for curiosity) and while I'm at it I will look for the aforementioned IP-based transactions. EDIT #1:I've been PMing and spreading this topic URL around, a few people here got it from me. yep, thanks for that EDIT #2:I just checked all topics with an ID <34 and none of them contains such information. So it appears that, in fact, this was the first public transfer-by-IP-address transaction, at least on this forum. I haven't checked the old mailing list or forum on sourceforge, so I can't guarantee for it, though.

Indeed. I can't find a public example of a transaction to an IP address prior to this one. I'm told that the Bitcoin sourceforge mailing lists (including the private bitcoin-security list) does not appear to have an example of an IP transaction before this one either. I'm assuming that the 'Satoshi to Hal' transaction was sent to a Bitcoin address and that all other IP transactions were to private ranges. The posts show that others were aware of how IP sending worked in practice, the question being - did anyone else actually test it ? Base networking protocols are often assumed to be working correctly when the layers above them are functioning. It will be easy enough to find the transactions on the blockchain i.e. 2 x 0.01 BTC transactions on the same date / time as your post.

Daily bump.
dooglus's 18e98-1c is still the MinAddress to beat. SmokeTooMuch and BitcoinFX talked about entering lower MinAddresses but have not gotten around to it yet.
I have decided that I will send the reward to dooglus unless someone comes up with a lower address in the next 5 days.

How low can you go? The Bitcoin Limbo Game Here is how it works: 1) Find the oldest Bitcoin address you still control (have the private key for) that you do not mind making public. For example: 13fG1Shr3gaDqGSXpgmqjhYUCXwFSShoKd 2) Enter this oldest address into the form at http://www.minaddress.info3) You will get a MinAddress for your address. For my example it is: 4d8fd-13f NOTES: You must have a valid MinAddress to win. The address must have a balance equal to or greater than 0.1 BTC to win. You must prove you control the address to win. If your address does not work at the web site then please report it here or to the owner. The MinAddress thread is here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=774741.0 This is part of the beta testing of the site so... 4) The first portion of a MinAddress is the block number of the address. 5) If the block address portion of your oldest address is lower than the lowest address posted so far in this thread then post it in this thread. I will give a 0.1 BTC prize to the oldest/lowest address posted in the next couple of weeks or so. I reserve the right to post my own oldest address if I wish (a hidden reserve of sorts). You must follow the posting format shown in this next post (you can put anything you want into the message you sign) in order to prove you own the address and are not just blowing smoke. EDIT: Even after all these years I still learn new ways to get scammed. Amazing. In order to win:
the Bitcoin address must have a balance equal to or greater than 0.1 BTC you must prove you control the address by signing a message with the private key you must have the lowest MinAddress your post must follow the format used in the following post:Bitcoin Full Address: 1KZUTAHU8JQJvZG1uynrgNiQT7DWN9zq1Y Min-Address: 45a62-1kzu Verify Link: http://blockexplorer.com/block/00000000000000004e6e59adff610f84f3c0f2e81b3227f9bdd16846449ebc14

Besides, you didn't follow the format.

Your answer can be found here: http://www.minaddress.info/#faqAs for how to find out what your min-address is, just enter your normal BTC address in the field at the top and the website will do the rest for you. Basically the first part is the first block that your address appeared in and the second part is the first few characters of your normal BTC address.

What the hell? You gave me negative trust for posting that? You took that seriously! That is the first address which appeared in Block 1. And all it need is a little common sense that the only person who will knoe of bitcoin's existance at that time is Satoshi Nakamoto and may be some rich guys. And do you know what a grin means? Also the verification failed. then how did i present false credentials? Anyone could know that the address is not even related to that string. And there was no intention to cheat. See: https://blockchain.info/tx/0e3e2357e806b6cdb1f70b54c3a3a17b6714ee1f0e68bebb44a74b1efd512098if u see the address in blockchain, u can see that it was recently active. So my claim of lost wallet is obviously false. I was only joking!

So my claim of lost wallet is obviously false. I was only joking! Just adding smilies does not make it a joke. Just because your attempt to cheat was amateurish does not negate the fact that you tried. Maybe your intent was different, but you might should have made that clearer. I certainly did not laugh and yes I tested your signature even though I was almost certain you are not satoshi.
