I had 15 pieces.  Just out of interest.. how many had you released?

You know, I can't rightly remember off the top of my head. I want to say 17. A few were OpFab ads that didn't run very long before they were outbid and I've since deleted them from my personal account.

When I get home, I'll check. I may have to do some digging.

Did someone win this? The coins have moved 5 days ago: https://blockchain.info/address/1HKxytkvHhDvHM4qGiNrrYEh2cYhSp7TjP

I moved them. Since I let this go for so long without releasing any more pieces, I thought it might be better to start over with a new address and private key. I'll probably release it all at once, as well, utilizing Operation Fabulous ads to have parts appear on other sites semi-randomly.

What's up with this? Seems like no new pieces have been released for 2 weeks...

Sorry about this. Started a new job and have spent almost no time online lately. I will try to rectify this tonight.

Damn.. it's getting harder. I can't tell if that's a Z or a z  ... and I'm definitely missing some pieces now!


It's a lowercase z. All the capital letters will extend down to the lower edge of the sofa while uncapitalized letters will only reach "The Dude's" toes.

BTW, are you my "friend" on Facebook? It will make finding pieces easier! (Search for Edd Pastafarian and make sure to mention bitcoin in a message when sending me a request so that I will approve you right away.)

I dont think there is a program to search vanity private keys yet, not that I have seen.

The Casascius 1oz 10BTC Silver Round (w/ Gold B)
So.. how are people going with this?

I think I have 6 (I'm not sure if the position 1 = 5 picture is just an example or is an actual piece?)



All keys start with a 5 so this is a given.

Second character is one of J,K,L

Address can be computed instantly with certainty with as few as the first 46 characters.

Address can be computed with brute force with much fewer characters depending on attempter's compute power.

As promised, there are now at least five more pieces floating around out there on the intrawebz.

This should be fun, I'm not going to play but I feel like sharing so if anyone wants an 'aid' in finding the next images you could try www.tineye.com and also the new gooogle search by image feature Wink

Good luck!
