"Mike Hearn, a British computer programmer...."

[franky1]

Isn't the message from the Times in the genesis block an indication that Satoshi is probably British? What's the OP doing registering for a forum started by a British programmer that's all about the revolutionary software he wrote? Why did Satoshi use British spelling, not American spelling, because he's probably British?

yep, but dont tell the americans.. they will either try to suggest satoshi is american and their saviour or say he is chinese and no longer relevant.. but will never admit that satoshi is british

Szaboshi Backamoto used a mix of American and British English.

Szabo is American, Back is British.

Can't we just be happy the Genesis Block isn't in French?

Trolling is getting much better here lately. It suffered for a while when MnW left but it's improving.

There is enough brainpower in the BTC pool to solve current problems.

We've had 'bitcoin is dead' stories before. (Like 86 times, i lost count) These stories seem to surface just before bitcoin surges in popularity and value.

As previously, this is a propaganda attack on bitcoin. The only thing threatened by bitcoin is the ''monopoly'' of the big banks.
It's their power and their resources which has been targeted against bitcoin. Probably it's the threats and/or bribery of the banksters that have lead to Mike Hearn's attack.

I strongly suspect that it's because bitcoin has been showing signs of steady growth that this attack is being launched against it. The point of course is to shake confidence in the currency and slow down it's growth.

We don't know the circumstances behind Mike Hearn's actions. Maybe the banksters have bribed him ore the banksters have threatened him (or his family) Ore he's just going through a rough emotional time.

"banksters" for the most part only exist in your imagination and on the Alex Jones show.

(And if they do exist, they putting senators in their pocket, not programmers of open source projects.)

Im sure this Mike Hearn is just a fagget who got payd by the goverment or by bankers(almost the  same thing ) to try to crash everything down because he was a big deal in the bitcoin world...I Just read another new article on forbes about this cracker and the big fcking deal about him leaving the bitcoin network like people give a fuck beacause this retard didnt get his way with it so he sold himself to the highest bidder.AND THERE A LOT OF HIGH BIDDERS OUT THERE THAT WANA CRASH BITCOIN.

THE MAX AMOUNT OF BITCOINS SHOULD NOT BE INCREASED (thats why there are alt-coins ) However I agree that there should be something done for the blockchain to support more transaction /second.

PS: I have 0 BTC but I am very enthusiastic about it...

BITCOIN=FREEDOM KEEP IT REAL AND KEEP IT GOIN' PEOPLE !!!!!
