Re: [Interviews] with Bitcointalk members - Timelord2067
I bought my first whole BitCoin which I divided into 20 bight sized paper wallets as gifts to the membership of LASFAPA - each receiving BTC 0.05000471 if you find wallet addresses starting 1Lasfapa... they were Vanity Generated by me. The 0.05 was worth about $20 at the time I bought the coins, now they're worth about $ 585 at the time of writing this.
Actually, it was only 18, not 20:

What's much more interesting interesting, is that 17 of those still haven't been sweeped:

Um, thanks... I wasn't expecting anyone to actually go hunting for the wallet addresses, but it's nice to know what I said can be verified so easily.

If you're still in contact with them, they might need a reminder they own/hodl $500+ in Bitcoin.
The guy that swept his own wallet was going to do so for a couple of others, but most are happy to keep their paper wallet more as a novelty than anything (and yes, I give them a nudge at Christmas time each year)
IIRC my father got 0.02 in a paper wallet around this time to.(and it's not just the BTC it's any of the forked coins that have happened since)

The top 1,000 users on BPIP.org 's Most Recognised (myself included at rank 38) should be the first to be vetted by a third party KYC verifying company.
Why? I don't know any other internet forum that requires KYC. I would even argue I'm not even "YC", and there's no no way in hell I'll ever go through KYC on any forum. I'm pretty sure at least 90% of the users would disappear, and the remaining few might pay some poor guy to do it on their behalf.Well... if you're going to introduce KYC, then you should start with those most likely to be DT1/DT2, mods/admin/merit sources etc. (that should probably read "if the forum were to...")
