Title: The Billionaire Mathematician Post by: hikedoon on July 13, 2014, 09:26:13 PM Bitcoin is forcing me to learn mathematics and cryptography(the basics anyway).
I didn't plan to start learning this when I started with Bitcoin but i'm quite enjoying it so far. ;D hoo'd ave thunk it. ;D Is Bitcoin a sneaky learning tool invented by this guy? http://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/08/science/a-billionaire-mathematicians-life-of-ferocious-curiosity.html Has anybody mentioned him before?I tried a search and it came up with no results. Interesting fellow indeed.He retired in 2009 apparently. ::)He mentions he can't write code....Several times.... Lol, Me thinks the lady doth protest too much, springs to mind. Or maybe i've had 1 or 2 vodkas too many,lol. Title: Re: The Billionaire Mathematician Post by: Sydboy on July 14, 2014, 10:15:58 AM real bitcoin mathematicians use a pen and paper to mine.
