This section lists transactions from 2011 that appear to contain pools of vanity addresses. There were first discovered while researching Base58 messages, but since they just contain bulk commercial stuff with little artistic value we've decided to keep them here instead of in the museum:

www.blockchain.com/explorer/transactions/btc/ae4409fabfce84cc9f665f16b5a6219ca8b708fdbed7264adbb7b6053cdfb1c1 block 136273 (2011-07-14) chains as:
tx e79a1bb8c40023219e9247464ac15c02d2c2d784d4f0a025be8958e8d25a052e block 136273 chains as:
- tx 751ff11286a43da5d6cf7da8f5bc736e522bbd698ec03c76c63368e5260667e6 block 136463

tx 19e84a54514a1e7f9f82e055f816c4f2f61b64742dc26ade22d9844ea62afe8d block 134171 (2011-07-01) This one also has one apparently legit spend of 1seXytZXUv8fbgJ8XMHYUKL8vmxQnvzVz. Chains as:
tx c07c4437cee1fa86bffcc188e40a11300de5b247f90293d64c5d15a14dd88989 block 136884 (2011-07-20) has 100+ 8-character vanity address, but unlike the other pools it actually spends all of them, possibly to prove that they are spendable
