Wow. So that was the original announcement of Bitcoin? It's like I'm taking a history tour on this thing. I followed that email down to the registration for the cryptography mailing list. I registered to it. I think cryptography will be something very interesting. Hopefully this list is still active. Now to register for the cypherpunks mailing list.
I actually hope he stays a secret ... because this endless discussion of who is Satoshi is one of the best parts of Bitcoin.
I agree now actually. I'll adjust my time to studying C++ and cryptography.
EDIT: Unfortunately the last node to the cypherpunks mailing list is down. So is the LNE node. Oh well.
