Title: Quotes from Satoshi - Early stages of bitcoin development Post by: NyeFe on June 10, 2016, 03:52:25 PM Quote from: Hal Finney The bitcoin system turns out to be socially useful and valuable, so that node operators feel that they are making a beneficial contribution to the world by their efforts (similar to the various "@Home" compute projects where people volunteer their compute resources for good causes). In this case it seems to me that simple altruism can suffice to keep the network running properly. Quote from: Satoshi Nakamoto It's very attractive to the libertarian viewpoint if we can explain it properly. I'm better with code than with words though. -- -- Quote from: Hal Finney Sorry about all the questions, but as I said this does seem to be a very promising and original idea, and I am looking forward to seeing how the concept is further developed. It would be helpful to see a more process oriented description of the idea, with concrete details of the data structures for the various objects (coins, blocks, transactions), the data which is included in messages, and algorithmic descriptions of the procedures for handling the various events which would occur in this system. You mentioned that you are working on an implementation, but I think a more formal, text description of the system would be a helpful next step. Quote from: Satoshi Nakamoto I appreciate your questions. I actually did this kind of backwards. I had to write all the code before I could convince myself that I could solve every problem, then I wrote the paper. I think I will be able to release the code sooner than I could write a detailed spec. You're already right about most of your assumptions where you filled in the blanks. -- -- Quote from: James A. Donald You have an outline and proposal for such a design, which is a big step forward, but the devil is in the little details. Quote from: Satoshi Nakamoto I believe I've worked through all those little details over the last year and a half while coding it, and there were a lot of them. The functional details are not covered in the paper, but the sourcecode is coming soon. I sent you the main files.

This one's got a famous Satoshi quote on, and I prefer it to some of the rubbish t-shirts you can buy from high street shops. The only thing I don't like about it is the creator should have put Satoshi's name on it to let newbies know who it's quoting.

Is there a website, or other styles (with light, background design), available?

Yes, they do a grey one too, and you can pay in Bitcoins. http://www.satoshigallery.com/product/satoshi-nakamoto-quote-grey/ There is also a white one at this link. Sadly that quote seems to be the only one they print onto t-shirts. They might start printing more Satoshi quotes after the next rally. http://www.satoshigallery.com/product/i-am-sorry-white/ Title: Re: Quotes from Satoshi - Early stages of bitcoin development Post by: Kprawn on June 10, 2016, 05:01:07 PM You would just have to wonder what Satoshi would have said about this whole Small blocks vs Big Blocks debate.. I guess it would not have been any debate, if he were around still.. He would just have increased
the blocks a little and we would have been on our way. To think, only a small percentage of people in this world would know, who has been quoted on these T-shirts, if you walked around with it. Satoshi Nakamoto means nothing to most people, who has not been in this scene. ::) |
