John Conner today said that it was him that initially notified the Bitcoin team about the risk of double spend, he wasn't listened to and Bitcoin lost tons of people's money and Bitcoin had to in force no O confirmations. clearly he has been part of the a Bitcoin loop here for a long time.



Any ideas who he is, shouldn't be too hard to work out?


BTW he solved the issue....the guy is one to watch clearly.

Who is Satoshi Nakamoto, creator of Bitcoin?

Everyone deserves some privacy.. For me it's not important who he is but what the man delivers.

Erm... what? The blockchain was designed to solve the double spend issue. I'm fairly sure that was produced by satoshi.

Wasn't it deemed unsafe by gmaxwell? Just read the github thread you posted.

I'm not a technical person but you got to love the way he responds to big core developers like a BOSS!!!

John Conner is the Donald Trump of Crypto! Lol


Maybe vanilla coin the name hides the fact it's such a quality project but seriously no one can deny the developer of this coin is a BOSS!

so who was around when the first time double spend was highlighted as a problem, I assume on this site?

Double spending was solved for the first time by satoshi nakamoto in his famous paper which predates this site.

Can it be truly considered solved when it's occurred several times in Bitcoin's history?

Solving things on paper is different from solving things in code. Just look at what happened to Bitcoin on the 4th of July.

Lets all believe gmaxwell how he told us they have more tools at their disposal to fix the issue than just hard forks. Then why did they do a hard fork to fix the issue and horribly failed to get consensus Huh

Yes. Proof of work is the only proven solution to the problem.

Awesome if it is, he seems half genius half belligerent...I like him already.

Great we have such a pioneer in Bitcoin development in this coin. Clearly he thought out properly what Bitcoin needed to evole. Everyone is chasing Ethereum, but I think it might be a red herring and actually the big news now is Vanilla coin. woop woop. I'm glad I invested.  



It certain sounds like the same guy...

Hal Finney was the first to point out the 0 confirmation double spend attack. And it's named the 'Finney Attack' in his honour.

I think it's safe to say with absolutely certainty that he is not Hal Finney.

And the fact that he would claim this was his own doing is extremely concerning and I'd advise people to be suspicious of someone making these sorts of claims that are both without evidence, and impossible anyway.
