What exactly is min-address? how do i know what is my min address?

Your answer can be found here: http://www.minaddress.info/#faq
As 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.

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.info

3) 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://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/minaddress-now-remember-your-addresses-easily-774741
   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

The current oldest Min-Address is 18e98-1c, which is much older than 45a62-1kzu. Besides, you didn't follow the format.

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.

Any "older timers" want to claim your 0.1 BTC?

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.

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.

Hey SmokeTooMuch,

Do you remember when you sent me 2x 0.01 BTC to test IP sending ?

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.236

Was this the first public Bitcoin transaction to an IP address ?

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.

5 days?

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.

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.

Nice try but your block number (4dd40) is much greater than the lowest block number posted so far.

18e98 is the number to beat, yours must be lower than that in order to win.

Verified. 18e98-1c is the MinAddress to beat.

Getting interesting now, I can no longer win my own game.

Yep, the blocks are far enough back now that I know for a fact that I won't have anything younger in any of my cold storage paper wallets.

Saves me the time of going to look. Good luck to dooglus!

The "View profile" link next to each of my posts links to https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/dooglus-3420

That 3420 is my userid here. I made my forum account around the same time as my first Bitcoin transaction. If you find someone with a lower userid, maybe they have an older address and could win this thing.
