Title: Bitcoin whitepaper found hidden in macOS
Post by: safar1980 on April 06, 2023, 09:16:38 AM
Bitcoin whitepaper (https://appleinsider.com/articles/23/04/05/bitcoin-whitepaper-found-hidden-in-macos-with-unknown-virtual-scanner-ii-app)  found hidden in macOS with unknown 'Virtual Scanner II' app
atoshi Nakamoto's Bitcoin whitepaper can be found in any Mac running macOS Catalina or newer, but no one knows why.
There are a lot of hidden files on macOS that won't appear unless the user is performing a specific function or test. However, most of these files are not meant to be discovered by average users.
Andy Baio, a blogger with an extensive history in the tech community, shared an odd discovery on his blog Waxy — the Bitcoin whitepaper can be found on any Mac running recent versions of macOS. It can be discovered via a simple Terminal command or by navigating Finder.

OP, I really commend you for your efforts in making this topic here but it is obvious something similar to this topic you have created here has already been created elsewhere as mentioned by other posters on this same thread and it was created earlier before you made this post here. For avoidance of doubt, here's when this topic was created; Today at 03:52:44 AM    https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5447746.msg62042182#msg62042182 and here you come Today at 09:16:38 AM as you can see the time interval for yourself which is about six hours time interval before you created your topic.

@CryptSafe, @Merit.s why the long note again, after @Nwada001 have already added link to the first created thread..
What I was expecting to see was a suggestion for the OP to lock up the thread.. I see no point with all this comment again, they are all saying same thing.
