Re: Satoshi Moving on to Other Things

I think he is moving to a simple life as he already had enough money to enjoy for the rest of his life.



With his btc owned, he can live financially free so he could already be satisfied with his wealth.

Satoshi clearly enjoyed hacking in it's truest and purest (MIT) sense. People who do amazing things do so for the pleasure of doing them. Many people who discuss fame will say that fame isn't the goal.

Very interesting, but lol.  It's like asking the person who invented sex what other things he's moved on to.

Seriously, I can't imagine anything Satoshi can do that would top bitcoin.  Even if he has a million good ideas from now until doomsday, he could always rest on his laurels knowing he invented bitcoin.  It's really a shame that there's no Nobel prize for computer science, although the creation of bitcoin might qualify for the economics prize...tho awarding it might present somewhat of a problem assuming Satoshi's identity remains unknown.

Satoshi is an exceptional genius, the Beethoven of our time. Bitcoin will lead to a new Renaissance, like the printing press and the florin standard did in their time. He clearly has wealth outside of btc and is probably working on some unrelated database or something.

Well time to get out your old wallets its kicking off again.

https://x.com/adamamcbride/status/1734970434075123931?s=20

Discord link: https://discord.gg/QjStXDCQ

The explorer says Block 1 is on Dec 6th of this year:

https://belscan.io/tx/dc828bfb5c27a4d21325db7928956b091ad3ccd0898a52cc63dc697c43458e6d

If I had an old Bellscoin wallet I could use it and my coins would be there?

It would be nice to see old network started up again. Anyone knows how to do that?

So logically just someone with an old Copy of the Chain should start his Full-Node again and start hasing on it, normally it should be that longest chain if not waited to long  Huh Cheesy

good question, it was restarted on Dec 6 since noone had the original chain. Perhaps there will now be two incompatible chains, the original and the new one, as the blocksize wars predicted.

Re: Potential proof that Mt. Gox still has all our bitcoins.

Hasn't it been disclosed that they supposedly only have 2,000 btc left, along with about $33 mill USD?   I could be wrong, but I thought these were their balance sheets...

So out of 744,408 BTC,  you say perhaps they have   2000 left?
So customers might get repaid a little less than 0.2%  of their account balance?

I hope not.   They better be able to  repay every customer BTC, or be prepared to answer
a lot of tough questions from law enforcers.


the irony is they will end up with much more value than if they just traded it away.

Re: Development process straw-man
by
nintendo1889
on 16/10/2023, 22:49:18 UTC
With Satoshi's blessing, and with great reluctance, I'm going to start doing more active project management for bitcoin.

Everybody please be patient with me; I've had a lot of project management experience at startups, but this is the first open source project of any size I've been involved with.  Anyway, I've created an integration/staging tree at:
  https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin

... and am proposing this for a development process:

Straw-man plan for Bitcoin development (open source vets, please slap me around and help make this better):

Developers work in their own trees, then submit pull requests when they think their feature is ready.

Requests get discussed (where? here in the bitcoin forums?) and if there's broad consensus they're a good thing, well written, match coding style, etc. then they're merged into the 'master' branch.

master branch is regularly built and tested (by who? need people willing to be quality assurance testers), and periodically pushed to the subversion repo to become the official, stable, released bitcoin.

We'll create feature branches if/when there are major new features being worked on by several people.

Discussion, feedback, etc, especially from people with experience leading or working on other open source projects, is very welcome.

I like small blocks and I cannot lie....

Re: Vanity Pool - vanity address generator pool
by
nintendo1889
on 30/06/2023, 20:45:57 UTC

Won't vanity generators it make it easy for people to steal funds?
No, no!
Let me explain, this is the satoshi's wallet that holds 72 Bitcoin: 1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa
I have a VanitySearch and use RTX2060. If I were to try to generate exactly that address, the situation would look like this:
https://www.talkimg.com/images/2023/06/30/S7Cyo.png

Here you see that hashrate of 951.41 Mkey/s takes 3.37637e+31 years FOR 50% chance to generate that address. Now, multiply 951.41 Mkey/s to whatever number of RTX 2060 GPU you want and then tell me what gives you a hope that by creating a pool, you'll be able to crack addresses. Chances are almost non-existent.


Ok ok! I thought that the vanity pool website was people selling the vanity addresses, but I guess they are just showing them off!

Where are the archives of the original bitcoin-list@sourceforge.net?


Hello @OP, SourceForge.net no longer maintains an archive of the bitcoin-list mailing list. However, an archive of the mailing list from its early days in 2009 to mid 2013 is available on the Narkive website. You can access the Bitcoin mailing list archives on Narkive at the this IRL.

https://bitoin.narkive.com

Thank. I'm so dumb, I realized that they are all already archived on in various places:

https://satoshi.nakamotoinstitute.org/posts/

I highly recommend the book of satoshi by phil champagne (it's a great overview of how bitcoin works)

Re: We should have a "who is satoshi" subforum
by

on 23/02/2023, 20:23:50 UTC
Why do you think that such subforum is needed? We all know that Craig Wright is Satoshi. Ok, now seriously, this question appears on Bitcointalk sometimes, but such board isn't needed at all. You think that's Robert Tappan Morris, other people have different predictions. But what's the point of it when nobody won't be able to prove that they're right. It's just pointless speculation.

I've been reading the book of satoshi by Champagne. Starting to think he is of british origin, nz, or australian. IE: Referring to an apartment as a 'flat'.

Re: Brazil passes law to legalize crypto as a payment method
by
nintendo1889
on 22/12/2022, 15:40:27 UTC
I saw the headline and thought we will be having another El Salvador experience in Brazil only to discover they didn’t make bitcoin a legal tender. I think the goal of the Brazil government is to regulate bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. And they are using the FTX scandal as an excuse to do so. I could be dead wrong or paranoid. What do you guys think about this development in Brazil? Is it good or bad for bitcoiners in Brazil?
[snip]
The bill applies broadly to a sector which it calls “virtual assets,” and now only needs the President’s signature before it becomes law. It does not make bitcoin or any cryptocurrency a legal tender in the country.
This was actually old news. I was planning to create a thread about the latest news before I see your post. The Brazilian lawmaker has passed the law and the President is what is needed to make it official.
The latest news now is that the Brazil's President has signed the bill into law this morning and it creates a thorough regulatory framework for the country's use and trading of bitcoin.

Brazil becomes a hodler.

Re: Roger Ver, Erik Voorhees and Vitalik Buterin Join KryptoKit in Ownership Roles

Buterin is the cofounder and head writer at Bitcoin Magazine, and is also involved in a number of Bitcoin software projects including pybitcointools, multisig.info, the Bitcoin private key secret sharing utility btckeysplit and a fork of BitcoinJS. He is also a heavy supporter of "cryptocurrency 2.0" applications such as user-issued currencies, on-blockchain identity systems and decentralized exchange, and is now actively working on developing an upcoming next-generation cryptographic consensus network known as Ethereum.

Seems a bit stupid if you send out a phishing email, with no phishing link in it  Roll Eyes  Huh

That's because it's not a phishing email.

Could someone please confirm that the forum hasn't been hacked and that someone isn't capturing our new passwords. I don't use this password anywhere else, but I still would like to know.

And where is the valid bitcointalk.org pgp signature?
