Can someone please show us images of snapshots of all parts of code of the earlier bitcoin client that you think are particularly related to the 21 million limit imposition.

It would be very much appreciated.

{ Imagine a sequence of bits generated from the first decimal place of the square roots of whole integers that are irrational numbers. If the decimal falls between 0 and 5, it's considered bit 0, and if it falls between 5 and 10, it's considered bit 1. This sequence from a simple integer count of contiguous irrationals and their logical decimal expansion of the first decimal place is called the 'main irrational stream.' Our goal is to design a physical and optical computing system system that can detect when this stream starts matching a specific pattern of a given size of bits. bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=166760.0 } Satoshi did use a friend class in C++ and put a comment on the code saying: "This is why people hate C++".

Here, in the v0.7.2 source code, is the function that calculates the reward per block at a given height. The 21M limit comes from adding all the resulting rewards.

I do Bitcoin stuff.

I feel like that simple little function could make for some good geeky marketing Smiley
