BitBillsAfter a long wait, the entire known BitBills set has been imported in.
My methodology for discovering the addresses is similar to
Charlie's, with a minor tweak to cover an edge case. However, it turned out that has no impact on the discovered addresses, so my 928 matches the ones used in previous estimations based on his script.
I will do a writeup on the funding history and fund flow for the bitbills collection separately and share here.
For now, enjoy looking at the oldest funded collection.
Fun facts:
- There are only 26 remaining 20 BTC BitBills, which puts a cap of 26 complete sets (and 27 10 BTC, so good luck building a set if it's not already assembled and being sold whole)
- Just over 50% of the 1 BTC BitBills have been redeemed - I imagine a significant number of those have been lost, since they compromise over 50% of the total BitBills issuance and other denominations have a more robust redemption rate
- As far as I'm aware, this is the first time a full address list for plausible bitbills has been assembled and shared publicly
- This is not guaranteed to be an exhaustive list - it is possible there is one or more unlinked groups of BitBills funded from a different source. If you have or are aware of a BitBill not on this list, shoot me a PM so I can trace further.
If you want to see a time ordered redemption list, check out this
godmode query:
SELECT
series_name,
item_id,
first_active,
redeemed_on,
addresses,
balance
FROM
god_view
WHERE
creators LIKE '%bitbill%'
ORDER BY
redeemed_on DESC;
