Topic: will pay 2 BTC for 1 BTC with traces of that pizza on it (Read 6645 times)
you have a handful of options
- new wallet for new incomming coin to your collection
- wallet for the whole collection but you shall not spend from it & new address for new payment is a must
- keep accepting them as usual, spend them when the time will come
if you're skilled enough (and a collector), you can remove the private key of the address with the valuable coin
and -rescan to update the balance of your account. this is actually the bitcoin, the key to it is everything.
this way you should be safe not to spend it by chance (the client would not have the signing authority over the bitcoins)

This is why we need clients to have address differentiation.
As it is, the client gives no option for spending specific coins, so if 1BTC is from pizza history and 199 are from other history, it will be difficult to pick the correct one.
Of course merging all 200 to one address could work, but then it gets watered down. . .
Client should give option of which received address BTC to send. . .

seven degrees of bacon pizza?
more like ordinary passion for coins. I doubt that people check their coins history and see if they are connected to pizza or first transaction

so, I'm guessing block 170 http://blockexplorer.com/b/170 is the first transfer from one address to another?
true. mined coins must mature at least 100 blocks or so, to be spendable. it was not possible to send any coins in the first 100 blocksI look at block 170 all the time while I'm writing code to parse the block chain. If I come up with anything I'll let you know.
hal actually is active on the forum, i just might ask him directly. but if you stumble upon the coins, i welcome any info

had a look at some of the previous blocks (but not all 170) and didn't see any transactions.

Yes, block 170 contains the first Bitcoin transaction (other than generation, of course).
Is this going to turn into the bitcoin equivalent of Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon?

Well, I only have 3.5 to give, but if you wanted it, I suppose I'd be willing to trade for 4.5.
whenever you're ready
ready I am, offer to exchange 1 : 2 still valid is
was offline yesterday after leaving the office, no new wallet created
the long chain from pizza to me does not disturb me
those coins might not be XF or uncirculated but still very important for me
i might be the first bitnumismatic eva ; )
thanks for the bump, please do not spend them all. i'm setting up a reminder for today

Just to be clear, whenever you're ready, I will send 1 BTC (or however much you want... the prices have been pretty crazy lately) from my account with the T-shirt coins (the ones at the end of that huge chain I posted earlier in the thread), to another one of my addresses (just so I can make sure that the chain looks good), and then I'll send from that address to yours. So, all you'll need to do is add two more transactions to make a grand total of 77 transactions from the legendary pizza to you. 
Ok, just tell me what address to send it to.
wow, you really got one?
i'll create a new address for this one transaction to make sure it can be dumped from wallet safely
and stored in my coin collection display
i'm using bitcoin only from home, please allow few more hours for reply
yay!
Ok, just tell me what address to send it to.

Appropriate address... Oh ok, sweet, care to share?
Ok, copy all the files into the bitcointools folder:
This one is a small modification to a bunch of functions found in bitcointools that makes my life easier: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/28441300/deserialize_unfinishe.py
Here is the first program that I used to find out whether any of my unredeemed coins were actually descended from the pizza transaction: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/28441300/bitcoin_descendants.py
Next, seeing that I had some at one of my addresses, I made another program to find the exact path:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/28441300/bitcoin_descendants_pizza.py
It's kind of sloppy (I wasn't planning on releasing it), so you'll have to change a few things to use it for a more general case (parent_block, parent_transaction, my address, the restriction for only transactions with 1 BTC or more).
