Received my 1BTC coin
Thx guys!
I guess my other package will arrive on friday?
We'll send it in about 3 hours, so given the running time of the last package you should have it by friday, yes.
I just did the certificating proces again (hashed the file etc)
Thank you so much for doing that! I don't think anyone but me ever checked (I did it multiple times, though, of course).
So did everything check out as you expected? i.e.: have you been able to prove the existence of the coin at point x in time?
Edit: may i ask why you send 0.00025 BTC in stead of 0.00001337 BTC to the certificate adress?
Because at one point my bitcoind said "insufficient funds", so I tried a higher amount and neglected to change it back (the reason for insufficient funds was a different one). (I'm not sure the new dust limit applies. I think it does, because it applies to unspent transaction outputs which are generated, but I'm not sure. Does someone here know the details?). So I just changed it in my script to 0.0001337. That should be above dust treshold and looks equally cool.
When Bitcoin hits 10000$ I think I'll import the private key
(I also posted a photo of the certificate and the coin on my facebook page with the comment that when they invested enough time, they could get some bitcoin with the info on the certificate
)
Hehe, you should probably be quicker than that. We're reusing those funds for new proofs as can be seen in this wonderful transaction:

Of course this assumes that there will always be at least one full copy of the blockchain available (including also transactions and outputs that can be pruned) in order to be able to conduct the proof of age. I think we can safely assume that, though.
