If I had the programming skills, I'd do it.
I have programming skills, arguably better than his, and I didn't do it. Neither did millions of other programmers.
The true novelty of Bitcoin lies in the math, not in the programming (as the programming is a reflection and implementation of the math). That's why the programmers (and you) didn't do it.
This is getting ridiculous.
P.S. I have a maths degree. Damn, I must be an idiot.
No, you could've done it if knew how to generate the algorithm from the theory, but you didn't; he did. And, no one else did before him. Thus, it's novel.
Going back to your previous posts, I still think he did it to get rich because there are a lot of class and other problems that Bitcoin does not fix and will arguably make worse. It's far from a perfect currency as far as virtue is concerned. But, as I am lucky enough to afford a capable graphics card, computer, and internet subscription, and to be educated enough to be able to understand how to operate the necessary software and navigate the forum and exchanges, not to mention have some additional funds to invest, I'm jumping all over Bitcoin. I do like some other features it offers, however.
