Monthly actually, but you're always welcome to reach out to me at any time Speaking of which, here's my update for the month of December: https://litecointalk.io/t/mimblewimble-progress-update-thread/26678/8 The TL;DR is: * The design has been published at https://litecointalk.io/t/mimblewimble-design-libmw/26915 (feedback welcome) * The code is being written https://github.com/GrinPlusPlus/libmw-core and https://github.com/GrinPlusPlus/libmw-ltc * Next month I will setup a build system, design a new fast-sync mechanism, and work on the database code Thanks everyone for your continued support!

Quote from: 2112 on April 27, 2018, 02:16:27 AM If you searching just on the Internet then you are missing around 50 years of history of networking and software in general. Unfortunately, the internet is the only resource I have readily accessible. Quote from: 2112 on April 27, 2018, 02:16:27 AM One more avenue for search is to look at the nearby code, not just strictly IRC-related. There were multiple methods used to discover node's own external IPv4 address. Those also aren't all invented by Satoshi, but borrowed/copied from the pre-existing code. Those were the other things that tended to trigger false-positives. There are indeed several methods used to discover a node's external IPv4 address, but I expect any engineer who has used sockets before would be able to write them. I have found no reason to think they were copied from anywhere. It's odd that they would trigger false-positives.

Because if you are really into history of CS I may be able to put you in touch with people who may be willing to donate their personal archives fairly soon. But you would really need to be able to read obsolete media like open-reel magnetic tapes or U-Matic and SVHS video cassettes with PAL/SECAM color. Sadly, I am not. Just a curious software engineer.

It's interesting you say that. I've searched for origins of Satoshi's code many times in the past, thinking if I could just find that one time he reused an old piece of code, I could retrace some of his footsteps to better understand his thought process. I was never successful. Of course, it's entirely possible I was just looking in all the wrong places.

Bitcoin used Base58Check to encode the ip address and port[1]. The Base58 used by bitcoin was invented by Satoshi. Can you point to any specific code that used a similar IPv4 obfuscation scheme? [1]https://github.com/trottier/original-bitcoin/blob/master/src/irc.cpp

I’m trying to understand the origin of bitcoin and where some of Satoshi’s ideas came from. I was curious if anyone knew of any earlier p2p software that used IRC to bootstrap? The earliest mention I could find of p2p bootstrapping using IRC was in a paper written in 2007 called “Decentralized Bootstrapping in Pervasive Applications.” [1] Has the idea been around longer than that, or is it more likely Satoshi got his ideas from these guys? Someone had suggested to me that they believed bittorrent used that mechanism before, but i was unable to find any corroboration for that claim.
