Wow. This is crazy. This was only block 2247. I think this is the oldest coinburn I have seen ever.

This was on January 29 2009 and the first block ever was on January 8 2009. Wonder who else could of been mining around this time. Maybe it was that HDD guy who threw it away.

This is proof that all those estimates about "bitcoins lost forever" are inaccurate because you got transactions like this happening which many assumed it was a long lost private key.
