Thanks everyone for the positive comments


I've added 'Dorian Nakamoto' to the list.

Thanks everyone for the feedback.

I'm not sure if sure if either 'Shill' or 'MC' [MasterCard] are bitcoin specific enough to warrant inclusion in the list, but am open minded to the suggestion if others disagree.

I'd be interested in working on some of these.

The idea is to cause other speculators to panic buy on the pump and panic sell on the dump.

It seems strange that Mark should come out, before the news story, and suggest that their on the trail of the thief and people may get their bitcoins back, if he's the thief and about to be caught and knows there are no coins to be found. Surely he's not that much of a sociopath?

Thanks freedomno1, I've updated 'Hal Finney' and added 'Cypherpunk', 'Alex Green / Ryan Kennedy' and 'Andreas Antopoulos'. If any of these changes or additions are incorrect then please let me know.

Bitcoin is not a belief system. It's a peer-to-peer electronic cash system.

Shhh, the memo said don't tell maximus1984.

Looks like the mark that would be made if his chest had been against the hot ring on the hob of the cooker.

'Hard Fork'
When there are a sufficient number of bitcoin clients on the network that disagree on the rules about how blocks are created and recorded in the blockchain. It leads to a split in the chain, one set of bitcoin clients follow one branch and another set follows the other. To fix hard forks some action must be taken by us.

Bitcoin has hard forked twice. I was not around for the first one, but I panicked during the second.

Arrgh, it's gonna blow!

Here's how activity works;

Please try harder OP, I want to buy some cheap bitcoins too.

Just because we believe something that doesn't make it true.

My intuition tells me that science is the only path to the truth. So where does that get us? Nowhere. Again this demonstrates the importance of evidence.


Yes, I've seen it. A lot of good science interspersed with pseudo-science inorder to mezmorize the gullible.

Evidence is everything, without evidence all you have is opinion. There will always be someone with an opposite opinion to yours. The sum of all opinions is zero, rendering them utterly worthless.

Our 'minds', 'souls', 'spirit' and consciousness are all physical in nature. Thousands of years of research have shown that our brains comprise and produce our true selves. Souls and spirits do not exist. Our bodies run themselves. We know from cases of brain damage and the effects of psychoactive drugs, that our experiences are caused by physical chemistry acting on our physical neurones in our brains.

How will physical reality be able to distinguish between machines created by evolution and machines created by man in a lab?

Btcchina.com have added English language support. This was not the case in 2011 when I posted the question.
