Topic: Was there a cybersquatting of firstbit addresses? (Read 1387 times)
can't believe anyone would try to cybersquat a good firstbits address. SHOCK!
Hi.
I remember there was a time when the network was flooded with lots of 1 satoshi transactions. Did anyone checked if they had any meaningfull first letters in them?
Call me a junkie but I was looking for my nickname on firstbits.com (it is kinda slow) and found that there were transactions (that grab the funny address name). It is 5 chars long so I doubt it is accidental especially that it sits in a transaction next to other 216 outputs with kinda readable words.

I'm working on the speed of firstbits, until it improves I recommend blockchain.info for firstbits lookups.
here's another one

found it by checking out firstbits of few vangen addresses i made
lots of names and generic words in there, including 1google

Looking through that list, I noticed a lot of 1pct and 1pnt addresses... those seemed odd to me. Not anything particularly special, so why were they "saved"?

They stem from here: http://blockchain.info/tx-index/999513/797378b76f3a3a689d73c6bbadb4b09443e8aa04be6e3152615f02688ab60949
That's the furthest back I went.
