Title: Where did Satoshi get his newspaper? Post by: FlatPepsi on July 16, 2018, 04:25:37 PM "The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks" Our favorite headline. We know that The Times is a UK newspaper, but does that mean that Satosi got his hands on a dead-tree version? Most of them were in the UK. What was the paper distribution like, outside of the UK? 2009 was late enough that many newspapers had an online presence. Best I can tell, The Times did have an online presence then - but I can't find any archives to show what that day would have looked like. Was it free & open, or registered? Was there a difference between the paper and online headline / story? If Satosi was using a web version of the newspaper, then all we know from the Genesis block was that he was a regular reader of the online version- from somewhere on earth.

Hyde Park Corner, perhaps? EDIT: Circulation of The Times in the United Kingdom (UK) from 1st half 2003 to 2nd half 2016 (in 1,000 copies) - https://www.statista.com/statistics/288283/circulation-trend-of-the-times-newspaper-uk/ - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_newspapers_in_the_United_Kingdom_by_circulation Title: Re: Where did Satoshi get his newspaper? Post by: FlatPepsi on July 16, 2018, 05:17:59 PM I found 2 paywalled archives - but it's not clear if these are archives of Paper editions, or Web editions.
Would love to see both. https://www.gale.com/uk/c/the-times-digital-archive https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/ |
