The probability of 10/59 machines being broken and having consecutive numbers is 1.6*10^-10

I'm not sure how this false statement appeared but it's now 4 years old and still living...

Here's a solution that actually makes sense:

"Satoshi" has 59 machines mining. To make sure that none of them accidentally repeated work, each one was given a different machine_id to put in the LSB: 0,1,2,3...58. Machines 10 through 18 broke down and he didn't bother to recycle the LSBs.

current_nonce = machine_id
while True:
  result = hash(block, current_none)
  if result < target:
    break
  current_nonce += 256

Ta-da! Solution. It makes sense that you'd put the machine_id in the LSB and not the MSB because it's easier to detect that you've wrapped around: Just check for current_nonce == machine_id. Otherwise you'd have to test for current_nonce >> 56 != machine_id, which is marginally slower.

I heard there is a deeper salvage possible, look for it

Where is the discussion and basis for the Default Trust list?

It's a real slap in the face to see the guy who scammed me out of 28 BTC listed in the default trust list and my gut instinct is to distrust the person who puts this mistrust system on people as a default.

And you sir are a Moron.

So let's sum up:
You didn't have money in the past, then magically found a lot (because you lost $12k+)
You don't have money right now either
You often are right about price change

Sorry buy my brain has a hard time to combine everything

Stop lying, there are options
