SHA-2 (Secure Hash Algorithm 2) is a set of cryptographic hash functions.
SHA-256 is used in several different parts of the Bitcoin network:
Mining uses SHA-256 as the Proof of work algorithm.
SHA-256 is used in the creation of bitcoin addresses to improve security and privacy.
Yeah and without ECDSA they're pretty tough to spend. Seems like crypto currencies need cryptography to function. Anyone know what Satoshi was driving at? He is probably (intentionally) confusing cryptography with encryption or cipher which is main commonly accepted meaning/function of cryptography. In so, he is also implying there no "secret" message/information hidden and being transmitted in crypto currencies. I beg to differ even in that case as, for example, a signed hash could be considered some way of transmit a "secret" information being the information/message "contained" the confirmation/proof of control of the private key... without exposing it (that is, remaining secret). Anyways it is just a silly play with wording that only serves to confirm the attention whore and drama addict he is. |

Hasn't mentioned precious metals or joos in the latest 4 posts.
Do we need some mentions?  |

 did not know that tbh ... it's a bit more nuanced than that. As others note cryptographic primitives like SHA-256, RIPMED-160 hash functions and also digital signing using secp256k1 ECDSA derived cryptographic keys are the essential building blocks of bitcoin. What he's ham-fistedly trying to say is that there is no 'encryption' used in bitcoin, to the effect of being too cute for his own good. However, Bitcoin Core wallet bitcoin-qt does use a wallet encryption layer, PKI for BIP 70, SSL for for RPC calls and Tor is enabled by default for peer-to-peer connections when it is available. Find me one wallet that isn't using 'encryption' of some sort. It's an empty, bullshitting statement to say cryptocurrencies do not use cryptography. Guy is a tool. |

I see you have a list, too.
I do like a good list. Here is last night's top 10 banned words on Weibo:  |

If they can't say 'orgy' how do they talk about all the group sex they have?

I'd still say 'enthusiastically', but yes, 'surreptitiously'. |

I was in a taxi last night and caught the end of this song. It went like this: 'I'm in love with the shape of your body'. If you can imagine that

I always imagine you looking like Mayor McCheese, but with blind guy sunglasses on. |

nope... "I am in love with the shape of you" then "I am in love with your body" this makes slightly more sense. most of us been there. EDIT: I do agree with a "vapid' comment though, it's not "I want to know what love is" or 'Don't cry". |

Naw, it's cool I spent a lot of my time for my meager holdings. I want BTC to do well. I don't want the bears to dump on it anymore than I would want someone to take a dump on a valuable comic book that I was collecting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxVztw1SNN8 |

ETH has been over-performing BTC for a while now. The recent under-performance is just reverting that basis spread. |
