Title: Satoshi and 'Frostwire'
Post by: remotemass on November 20, 2013, 09:15:58 AM
'Frostwire' is a JAVA project, but as Satoshi was quite knowledgeable about p2p software I was thinking if he could be somehow connected with 'Frostwire' development which is an open source project.
Does anyone know anyone from 'Frostwire' community?
How likely is it that Satoshi is connected to 'Frostwire'?
Maybe someone out there knows a bit about the people involved with 'Frostwire'.
Post and share anything you find about it here, please.

I am not sure what connection there could be. Does Frostwire do something novel or revolutionary that makes you suspect?

Just wondering.

Well it looks like an ordinary Bittorrent client*, so I doubt Satoshi would be involved in this. Remember Bittorrent was created by Bram Cohen in 2001, by the time Bitcoin was released in 2009 Bittorrent was mature and mostly complete and it seems Frostwire is not pushing any particular tech to the edge.

*(Unless I am missing something about Frostwire, it just seems like an ordinary Bittorrent application)

:p

Is this another let's hunt for Satoshi?
