Did you know Jeff Garzik offered 10,000 Bitcoins to Bitcointalk user puddinpop to open-source his new GPU mining client?
Though not the 1st GPU miner, puddinpop was the 1st one to share his GPU miner to the public.
But it was closed source and took 5 BTC out of each block!
After getting payed the 10,000 Bitcoins by Garzik he released the client to the public.
The address where he got the payment, still has 575 Bitcoin that are not spent.
At the time of the transaction the 10,000 Bitcoins were worth $615.
