Topic: Want to buy - the world's first 25 BTC block - page 2. (Read 3710 times)
You probably have some of those coins somewhere. Those blocks are ancient.
How about block #1337? #9001?
If you really had some money I would take a gamble and aproach the top 3 pools. Offer to prepay them a premium directly if they use a vanity address (1st25BTC....) you generated as the coinbase for that block.
Then it will be 0 hops. Of course even w/ top 3 pools you only have a ~50% chance of getting that particular block.

Nice idea. Let me think about it for a few months.

Maybe the last 50 BTC block?!
Maybe. I won't pay much for that particular block, but that could be just me.

BTW, the point of this thread wasn't really to buy this block (I'm sure I would get outbid).
It's just interesting to think about.
Beyond the first blocks mined by satoshi, I don't know of another block that is worth much more than its raw content ... and those early blocks are not for sale.

If I manage to mine it, I will auction it and it would be alot more than 30BTC. 
Fine, 35 BTC

or you could just make a deal with the people who run all the largest pools. As long as people are paid for what they mined I don't think they care what block it came from.
problem is that some pools(p2ppool included) are splitting the 25btc. We cannot be sure that the block will stay intact
yup. good luck hunting down those bitcoins. However, if you make quite some advertisement, so that everybody knows, then you may be able to buy them back from all the mining recipients...

It will be a shame then.

(Ordinarily this thread might belong in the marketplace forum, but I think it actually doesn't).
Somewhere around December 2012, the first ever 25 BTC block will be mined. I want it!
I'm willing to pay 30 BTC to whoever delivers it to me intact, with up to 2-3 "hops" from the original mining transaction. The item in question is the entire 25 BTC block (+ tx fees), without being split.
Think it's worth more than 30 BTC? (Collectible value)
Feel free to out-bid me.
