    Subject: [PATCH] Remove (SINGLE|DOUBLE)BYTE

    I removed this from Bitcoin in f1e1fb4bdef878c8fc1564fa418d44e7541a7e83
    in Sept 7 2010, almost three years ago. Be warned that I have not
    actually tested this patch.

It could be from someone acting like they are Satoshi.

If this is Satoshi, I believe it is his first appearance since Gavin started meeting with the CIA in 2011.

Erm, so what does this patch achieve in context that is so significant for the Creator to reveal that He walks amongst us yet?

Yeah, this is what I'm wanting to know....

It's a smaller pool with a fair & low-fee payment method, lots of statistical feedback, and it's easier than EasyMiner! (Yes, we want your hashing power, but seriously, it IS the easiest pool to use!

Yes, that would be the only way to really prove it. Plus why would Satoshi be writing from gmx.net ?

He always used a gmx email. Question is just if this is him doing whatever he is doing....

<helo> funny that this proposal grows the maximum block size to 8GB, and is seen as a compromise
<helo> oh, you don't like a 20x increase? well how about 8192x increase?

Is there any sensible explanation as to why he would choose to communicate patches in such an obscure way? I find it very strange, but I can't figure out why anyone would try to impersonate Satoshi in this way either.

No way this is Satoshi. No crypto proof, obscure communication was never Satoshi's style.

Maybe he switched to Satoshi from his normal identity and forgot to switch back before submitting this?

As far as I can make out the change is not to bitcoin itself but to the bitcointools python library, which allows python applications to work with bitcoin but is not used by the normal bitcoin-qt client. The change described was checked in by Gavin Andreesen in 2012 https://github.com/gavinandresen/bitcointools/commit/1aa2244c7aa622fc97e7c8de778fe027acc5a0a9 - it appears to be a change to how bitcoin transaction scripts are decoded when viewing a block.

This file is also used by Abe and Electrum Server, Abe includes the change, Electrum server has a version before the change.

TL;DR - the change does nothing to bitcoin and is not significant.

Edit - the block in question causes an error in Electrum Server and explains how to fix the error. See https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=271761.20 - the original change was made in anoncoin in C by s_nakamoto in 2010 http://projects.i2p/projects/anoncoin/repository/revisions/f1e1fb4bdef878c8fc1564fa418d44e7541a7e83 but did not get converted to python code until 2012. The block could have been created by anyone.

I never came across anoncoin on I2P before - anyone know it's background?
