Topic: The Bitcoin Limbo Game, 0.1 BTC REWARD - page 5. (Read 5783 times)

Is the current MinAddress to beat.  Private key and BTC amount verified.

Good try but your block number (47e7d) is greater than iamnotcool`s (30f5c) and michietn94's (470f4).

That is up to you.  The number to beat right now is 30f5c so 2f4f3 would put you in the lead.

Good try but your MinAddress block number (42a1d) would need to be under 30f5c to be in the running.  If you can find an earlier address you can try that.

Tell me if I did anything wrong

42a1d is less than 470f4 so you are on you way.  Now you have to prove to me you own that private key.

Do you know how to sign a message with your private key?

If not, what wallet are you using?  I can tell you how to do it on the blockchain.info wallet or the Bitcoin-qt (core) wallet.

Ok so I clicked submit and got 42a1d-12hy

Now what?

Take your oldest bitcoin address that you still have the private key for (in other words, not one from a wallet that you've lost or deleted).

Enter the bitcoin address in the MinAddress website that is linked in the OP.

See if the MinAddress results in a number/letter combination before the dash that is less than 470f4.

Letters are "greater than" numbers, so 47036 would be "less than" 470f4 (36 is "less than f4" in the same way that 36 is "less than" 94)

The order of values of "digits" from largest to smallest would be f, e, d, c, b, a, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0

How do you beat that number/letter combination. I dont get it.

Yes.  I am sure Satoshi is all over my 0.1 BTC reward.  

Give it a try! 470f4 is the current number to beat and that is not that long ago.  Dig up your oldest key pair and give it a whirl!

This is fun, and great practice. I'm too young to stand a chance. If anything could lure satoshi back in, though...

470f4 is now the number to beat!

You can submit as many as you want to as long as it has a lower MinAddress than the previous post, you have the private key, and the address has a balance equal to or greater than 0.1 BTC.

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:
