ETH address 0xacdcacdcacdcacdcacdcacdcacdcacdcacdcacdc

Check it out. (Yes, I know I'm not good at this. Humor me, please.)

A few weeks ago I was curious if the Ethereum address containing ACDC repeating was a valid address. So I sent it one Finney. It turns out to be a valid address: 0xACDCacDcACdCaCDcacdcacdCaCdcACdCAcDcaCdc.

I highly doubt that anyone has the private key for this address. It is practically impossible to get the private key for any given address that hasn't been used before. Anything sent to this address is effectively removed from the market - burned - never to be retrieved again. So I'd like to propose this address be used for burning ETH in sacrifice & in tribute. Nikola Tesla invented so many uses for electricity in AC form that AC is ubiquitous across the world for power delivery. And in the 1970's a rock band called AC/DC made their own waves.

Nikola Tesla was the father of modern electricity. His engineering ability was incredible. His mastery of vibration and wave patterns made it possible for him to develop modern uses of AC power (the kind we use when we plug something into the wall), efficient electric motors and generators, hydroelectric power, Tesla coils, wireless power... he was even working on a way to broadcast power to everyone wirelessly like radio. Years ago, I read that he intended to live to be 140 years old, and planned his career with that in mind. He died in his hotel residence in New York City, at the age of 86 with a lot of unfinished work.

AC/DC was an iconic rock band from the 1970's with famous songs such as Hell's Bells and Highway to Hell.

So if you've got some extra Ether, or some you want to sacrifice in tribute to Tesla or AC/DC or any other reason, send it to 0xACDCacDcACdCaCDcacdcacdCaCdcACdCAcDcaCdc.

I started by sending it 0.001 ETH (about 1 cent). How big can we make it grow?
