You may find this worth having a look:
Bitcoin: A Technical Introduction, by Brian Warner (Mozilla Labs)
http://people.mozilla.com/~bwarner/bitcoin/slides.html

{ 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++".
The block chain is the main innovation of Bitcoin. It is the first distributed timestamping system.

Starting on slide 7, he goes into the steps needed to make bitcoin.  He moves from a centrally issued ledger system into cryptographic currency, and then into decentralization.  After that, he covers the block chain.

He very clearly groks bitcoin and the history of electronic and cryptographic currency systems, enough so that I wish there was a video.  If he's even a halfway decent speaker, the presentation that goes with these slides is probably excellent.

Ahh, here it is:  http://vimeo.com/27177893.  I haven't watched it yet, going to now.

I tryed using Audacity to amplify the audio from that video. Here is the resulting mp3: http://www.4shared.com/mp3/orWg_4mF/amplifiedbitcointalk.html

It's ontopic and helpful so I post it.

There's an ogg theora video here in somewhat bad quality http://videos-cdn.mozilla.net/uploads/air_mozilla/07212011bitcoin.ogg

There may still be hope for the 1st decentralized cryptocurrency which is Bitcoin. How to approach different subjects is key to progress.
