The site adds 50 btc to the sum of the balances of the addresses because the first transaction (miner's reward of 50 btc) is not spendable. Read up in the thread or check the site for more info on this.

Yep, but we add in 50 btc for the genesis block's coinbase transaction (read more). I'm also planning on adding more to the sum, like btc sent during OP_RETURN, and a few other addresses. The site uses SmartBit.com.au's API, and only updates once every eight hours because the current way we do it uses one API request for each address, but we're changing it soon so it only uses 2-3 requests (200 addresses will be searched in one request) so it will be updated in much shorter (~1 minute) intervals.

I'm planning on buying a .com or other popular domain with the donations I got to the address and on reddit. Why would it cost more than 2.5 btc?



Thanks, will add those.

Actually that's incorrect and needs to be updated on the site. The reward for mining the first block's coins aren't spendable (read more here). However, the rest of the ~13 btc sent to it *can* be spent. I'm going to update the site by removing that address from the list and just adding 50 btc to the total.

Hey BitcoinTalk,

The site's URL is http://btcburns.cf.

I got this idea from /u/bruce_fenton's comment here:


I spent a few days working on it and just launched it. I hope it's a useful tool! If you can, please consider donating to the site at 1LH4SWbAVMLB5BwjuJsEADZbW6WNUC7fhb (feel free to verify that address on the site). The first thing I'd like to do is buy a .com (or something else) domain, as the one I'm using right now is a free .cf from Freenom.

Here's the reddit post announcing it.

Let me know if you have any feedback or questions (you can also email btcburns@gmail.com),

Cool so far!

After the recent hack, I have changed my password and am verifying that I own the above address. Here is a signed message for "I am busterroni on bitcointalk.org, 5/26/15 9:55 am est. My userid is 292371.": G2rOIkMeEtfADDMnPPwzicLeGG5bH8+Mz8l6r7hxWKzzT8654P0b9u0AT4NtdDMurBlHfGhorJEtubbTkcVm9hc=

We seem to have gotten off count somewhere... the last one is 13,021.

Can somebody quote me above^^?

My address is 1H5a4QBemypd6SBQjKnK76dw4KbmoLicz9

Will do, thank you for the support.

Thank you all

Thanks for the detailed feedback. I'm currently making a revised version and I'll address some of your comments in it. Thanks again!

Thanks

Feel free Can you share it with me when you're done?

That might be part of the site in the future, but for now we're just focusing on guides and tutorials. Thanks for the feedback

I apologize, moved.

Hey guys, I've spend quite some time working on a Bitcoin mining guide that provides a broad overview and explanation of Bitcoin mining while still explaining it simply enough for the average person to understand what it is. I'd appreciate it if you check it out!
