Satoshi is rolling in his grave. #bitcoin
I spent it all on pizza long ago:  https://blockchain.info/address/1XPTgDRhN8RFnzniWCddobD9iKZatrvH4

3-4 years ago there were less than 100 people frequenting this forum, and I was pretty happy to trade 10,000 coins for pizza.  I mean people can say I'm stupid, but it was a great deal at the time.  I don't think anyone could have known it would take off like this. Smiley

wouldn't u be a hero member by now?

doesnt have to be, as bitcoin was not so much "a thing" back then, and alot of people went in and out on bitcoin.
but that pizza story truly is epic and shows how much patience sometimes pays off.
personaly i woudnt want to be that guy, but then again , we may also be the funny guys in history, selling for under 1k; one never knows
cheers

It's Money 2.0| It’s gold for nerds | It's Bitcoin
I heard from one person who bought a house with their pizza bitcoins, indirectly, by trading it for cash first.  Apparently it was a lot of hassle with the bank due to AML and just their general distaste for currencies they don't control.  I wish I could say I did the same, but the pizza didn't appreciate the same way as the bitcoins Smiley

I think pizza always appreciates. @Laszlo your pizza sorry was the first story I read about bitcoins and my first knowledge of cryptocurrencies, your a legend.

The pizzia story is epic.

It really puts into perspective the power of bitcoin.

You can ignore the fact as to how expensive the pizza was, but remember the fact as to how quickly funds were able to be transferred across the atlantic for a specific product.

The pizza was one of the first times I really took notice of bitcoin. It really was a historic milestone for bitcoin.

I don't remember if I had heard of the white paper before hearing of the pizza, but the pizza is the news bite that really sticks out in my mind.

1 BTC sent your way you Bitcoin legend  Grin

Wow thanks, I do still have access to it.  You should never delete a wallet, even if you've spent what was 'in' it.
I appreciate the donations, but nobody owes me anything.. I generated my share and I spent it, it was just at a time when the value was lower, but so was the generation difficulty, and the block reward was 50.

Welcome back Bitcoin Hall of Famer! I hope we can see you more around here. Opening a pizzeria is a good idea you should consider. It could be a meeting place for Bitcoiners. Smiley

This is such an incredibly good idea. Just make sure it's pizza and beer Cheesy -- family style during the day, more pub style later on??

 I am still trying to get my head around the whole "decentralized autonomous whatever" thing, but this thread so far makes me wonder if I'm not witnessing the first crowd-sourced launch of what could be the first attempt at one?

If so, I'm in.

Hehe, didn't know that u made the first gpu miner, that is pretty amazing!

If any of you could go back in time and had the mining power to mine as much btc as you wanted to, when would you stop mining, knowing the price will end up at 1250 in 4 years? When would you have enough btc to not give a fuck anymore?Smiley

kind of an ethical question.

an answer to your *kind-of* ethical question.

I was mining back then too, (not quite as far back) I haven't stopped mining since, and I don't expect I ever will.

Wow.

I have to say that, from one small hobbyist miner to the pioneer of GPU mining: You, sir, are my hero, (well, right up there with Satoshi anyways)

If bitcoin succeeds, I predict there will be a statue of you built someday.

Hi all, I'm a new Bitcoin user and I'm starting to generate some of my own coins.  I have a few friends who are also using it now.

I am a programmer by trade and have a fair amount of experience with different platforms like linux, Mac OS, iPhone, etc.

I am interested in running Bitcoin on other platforms like iPhone and I'm wondering if there is any interest in this or if anyone has a problem with this.  I'm also wondering if someone has already done this so I don't waste my time.  Thanks!

My Bitcoin address is 1XPTgDRhN8RFnzniWCddobD9iKZatrvH4

Good luck getting anything bitcoin-related on the iPhone, Apple are notoriously against it. They recently removed the Blockchain app from the appstore with no reason.

history comprehension fail, that post is from 2010...lol

I've sent to wallet from his signature. I hope he has access to that one and he'll use it to go out on pizza with his family  Grin

I hope so too, less that would just be adding insult to injury haha.
