<p>As Dust noted above, it does appear that 10 coins that were generated in Block 9, were sent to someone in <a href="http://blockexplorer.com/address/12cbQLTFMXRnSzktFkuoG3eHoMeFtpTu3S" rel="nofollow">Block 170</a>, transaction <a href="http://blockexplorer.com/tx/f4184fc596403b9d638783cf57adfe4c75c605f6356fbc91338530e9831e9e16#i172" rel="nofollow">f4184fc596403b9d638783cf57adfe4c75c605f6356fbc91338530e9831e9e16</a> and which if what Hal says is true (I have no reason to believe its not) then Hal's address is <a href="http://blockexplorer.com/address/1Q2TWHE3GMdB6BZKafqwxXtWAWgFt5Jvm3" rel="nofollow">1Q2TWHE3GMdB6BZKafqwxXtWAWgFt5Jvm3</a> and he didn't spend/move them again until 16 Nov 2010, which would coincide with the his comings and goings on the bitcoin scene.</p>
