Title: Maxwell V. Satoshi
Post by: RawDog on May 25, 2016, 06:29:39 AM
I predict that Satoshi will forever be known as a brilliant person who created a most remarkable new technology.  And Maxwell will become equally famous (infamous) for having ruined that what Satoshi created simply by being a remarkable uncooperative asshole who would not listen to anyone, thus driving away all talent, and destroying the community and the network.

Satoshi and maxwell are both well known for their work either good or bad. but maxwell is not so popular for his work than satoshi. satoshi always wins. maxwell is a fool.

I think he meant Gregory Maxwell. He is a Bitcoin Core Dev and Blockstream's CTO.

Satoshi will be known for inventing Bitcoin.
Maxwell will be known for important improvements in privacy such as Confidential Transactions, CoinJoin, ZKCP and sidechains.

Satoshi is the man everyone will know about in the future when BTC takes off.
But beside that some devs will have a place as well.
Gregory Maxwell is definitely one of them. Others who have my greatest respect are Pieter Wuille aka "The Machine"!!
Adam Back as creator of POW and Nick Szabo, the god of smart contracts! :)

How is this even a question?

Satoshi invented a broken thing... Gregory fixed it.

I dunno bout that. Greg has a fair chance for a Nobel price with his Gregonomics.
Produce less --> artificial scarcity --> consumers compete for products --> huge $$$

Flawless model.

Satoshi who?

Exactly mainstream media talk only about Satoshi Nakamoto. Only people who are willing to learn more about it know about the other names. Don't think that most users really care about all this story's that goes around

Bitcoin is kinda like a Harley Davidson; Harleys sound awesome and the more after market chrome thrown on one, the better they look, but Harleys are high maintenance!  One will always need a mechanic to keep the booger on the road.  Bitcoin's the Harley and Maxwell is just one of the mechanics that keeps it chugging along.  Satoshi is credited with the concept design.
