An essential aspect of creativity is not being afraid to fail. — Dr. Edwin LandI should start with Satoshi
Since Satoshi said he is from Japan and born in 1975, I will believe him.

Re: Bitcoin P2P e-cash paper 2008-11-17 21:33:04 UTCI believe I've worked through all those little details over the
last year and a half while coding it, and there were a lot of them.
The functional details are not covered in the paper, but the
sourcecode is coming soon. I sent you the main files.

Abstract. A purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash would allow online
payments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through a
financial institution. Digital signatures provide part of the solution, but the main
benefits are lost if a trusted third party is still required to prevent double-spending.
We propose a solution to the double-spending problem using a peer-to-peer network.
The network timestamps transactions by hashing them into an ongoing chain of
hash-based proof-of-work, forming a record that cannot be changed without redoing
the proof-of-work. The longest chain not only serves as proof of the sequence of
events witnessed, but proof that it came from the largest pool of CPU power. As
long as a majority of CPU power is controlled by nodes that are not cooperating to
attack the network, they'll generate the longest chain and outpace attackers. The
network itself requires minimal structure. Messages are broadcast on a best effort
basis, and nodes can leave and rejoin the network at will, accepting the longest
proof-of-work chain as proof of what happened while they were gone.

Bitcion v0.1 released on cryptography mailing list
Satoshi Nakamoto satoshi at vistomail.com Thu Jan 8 14:27:40 EST 2009
Announcing the first release of Bitcoin, a new electronic cash
system that uses a peer-to-peer network to prevent double-spending.
It's completely decentralized with no server or central authority.
See bitcoin.org for screenshots.

Windows only for now. Open source C++ code is included.

Block#78 (first other than Satoshi)
First transaction of Bitcoin, Satoshi sent 10 BTC to Hal
I mined block 70-something, and I was the recipient of the first bitcoin transaction,
when Satoshi sent ten coins to me as a test. I carried on an email conversation with Satoshi
over the next few days, mostly me reporting bugs and him fixing them.

We had our first automatic adjustment of the proof-of-work difficulty on 30 Dec 2009.

I type d that tyitle twice because I knew it was wrong the first time. Still wrong. w/e. GF's out at a lesbian bar, BTC crashing WHY AM I HOLDING? I'LL TELL YOU WHY.

PM's between Satoshi and Theymos
I'll probably release Satoshi's PMs and logged IPs addresses in ~8 years. This'd probably be of great historical interest. (Though he always used Tor, as far as I can tell.)
