Any hint? as far as i know he never explained why, but the 21 million is more of an product of the starting reward, that is then halving every 4 years or 210000 blocks until you basically are at zero reward. so it depends more on the variables which he never explained why he choose them like there are.Title: Re: whether bitcoin is limited to only 21 million ? Post by: Lauda on September 18, 2016, 07:19:07 AM Yes, I understand. I think the source of this money comes from the device Satoshi Nakamoto? No, there is no "device Satoshi Nakamoto". The coins are created on a protocol level as a reward for the miners securing the chain.Quote These "bitcoins" are really just mathematical tokens which are very carefully controlled by the network protocol to prevent counterfeiting, theft, etc. You can find more on StackExchange (http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/182/where-do-bitcoins-come-from-and-what-gives-them-their-value). as far as i know he never explained why There doesn't need to be an explanation for something that may very well be an arbitrary number as long as the limit remains fixated. |
