If someone posts in this thread a different private key that also works out to 1PVwqUXrD5phy6gWrqJUrhpsPiBkTnftGg, I'll pay them 5BTC.

Now that's an incentive. I wonder if there would be a better place to announce that than here.

even if the owner of 1PVwqUXrD5phy6gWrqJUrhpsPiBkTnftGg sees (and cares about) that drain, how should he know where to look?

Actually, let's make that 5BTC or $3000 worth of BTC based on CoinDesk's bitcoin price index at the time of claim, whichever is more. I'm sure otherwise, someone will claim I'm assuming that me having to pay would crash the price.

If blockchain.info still has the feature that allows a "public message" to be added to a transaction, that would be a good option for signaling. A message could also be encoded in a series of vanity addresses.

For the fellow who figured "how much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood" would make for a good brainwallet password, I was able to track him down via his transactions, but luck was a major factor in my ability to do that.

This problem was actually discussed somewhat by a fellow who went by "btcrobinhood" on reddit, see here: https://github.com/btcrobinhood/bips/blob/master/bip-1337.mediawiki (note that I have no opinion on that proposal at this time).

Hey Ryan,

Here's a collision for 1PVwqUXrD5phy6gWrqJUrhpsPiBkTnftGg:
