The idea of designing Bitcoin first came into being in 2007, when the Federal Reserve cut interest rates to save the market, the Scottish Galaxy annexed ABN Amro, Murdoch won Dow Jones, Microsoft bowed to the European Union, and I worked as a teacher in a certain area of North America. The wave of world centralization is getting worse, and I, at the top of the wave, am witnessing the aggravation of the world economic crisis. At that time, I began to think that there must be a way to realize the transmission of information without any trusted third party. Just as Lazlo asked me in June 10, I answered him with the same answer.
Adhering to this principle, I started to create an electronic cash solution without the help of a trusted third party. At that time, the scheme had no name, and later we called it bitcoin.
This is a grand project. I knew from the beginning that once the project came out, it was destined to rewrite history. But because the project is too grand and complicated, I can't finish it alone in a short time. I'm not good at math, and I'm not good at the field of function sets. Nevertheless, I still hope that the day when he comes out will be perfect, so I optimize and perfect the code with almost paranoid fanaticism and persistence, sort out my thoughts and logic, and seek more people's help.
2008 is 1 65438+1October1,which is a day worth recording. I organized the essence of my own achievements into a pdf and posted it on the cryptography mailing list of metzdowd website, entitled "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System". Now you may prefer to call him Bitcoin White Paper, and after that, I began to be active in cryptography mailing list, Sorceforge development platform, P2P foundation and Bitcointalk forum. I hope more people can use and understand it, and find like-minded friends to help me improve it better.
At that time, I left my identity information for the first time,1born on April 5, 975, Japanese, male, although it was fabricated. 1975, us president Ford signed a decree stipulating that it is legal for citizens to hold gold. On April 5, 42 years ago, President Roosevelt issued Decree No.6 102, which made it illegal for citizens to hold gold, and the price of gold rose accordingly. So this time I want to tell you that you can also legally hold digital gold, and the price of gold will also rise, and.
The president is unreliable.
On June 38, 2009+on October 3, 2009/kloc-0, the bitcoin POW algorithm client was developed. No one knows and no one will use it. I know it very well, but I firmly believe that in time, this client will definitely send out the power to make the world tremble. The client runs, and mining begins, with difficulty 1. The CPU began to heat up, and the sound of the fan was louder and buzzing, like the buzzing of bees, collecting honey belonging to the digital world, and 50 bitcoins were born in silence. This is the first digital gold belonging to the creation block. I picked up the Times of that day and wrote on the front page, "The Chancellor of the Exchequer is about to implement the second round of bank emergency assistance." Good. Banks don't need help anymore, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer doesn't have to worry, right? I left these words under the bitcoin creation block, hoping that the world will remember today forever.
But this honor is not just mine. Before and after this, I got great help from Saab, David and Hal Finney. Thank you for your dedication and guidance. Without you, there would be no bitcoin now.
After that, a long road of optimization and perfection began, and more and more people with lofty ideals joined in the work of perfecting this project. We exchanged views, worked together and learned from each other's strengths. After all, no one is perfect. I made a major mistake when developing the first windows version of Bitcoin client, which is a serious security loophole. Hal Finney contacted me to point out this, and then spent two weeks with me to improve it, so that the first windows version of Bitcoin client no longer reported errors.
I have told many people in the forum that if Bitcoin does not disappear after 20 years, it must have been widely used. Because this is an excellent project contributed by many people, and it is world-class, but many people who contributed in the forum said that it was conceived by Satoshi Nakamoto and made by Satoshi Nakamoto. I don't like this. Thank you for your contribution. Too strong individualism will definitely affect his development. At the same time, this new system is too fragile, a little external force is enough to destroy it, and people all over the world know very little about it, so I am cautious.
The name is fake, the information is fake, the mining is anonymous, the mail is encrypted by PGP, and the Internet is bridged by tor. Finally, quit at the right time and never come back. In this way, everyone will know that a mysterious man named Satoshi Nakamoto invented him, but he has long since disappeared, so you can use it with confidence, participate fairly and promote it selflessly, and help the system to become stronger and stronger. I pay attention to this point every day, and even the language is mixed with British English and American slang. I'm sure I've done enough.
Finally one day, the opportunity came, although it was not my choice. 10, 10 On February 5, Wikileaks leaked American diplomatic cables, and the whole society began to call on Wikileaks to accept bitcoin donations to break the financial blockade. This is not a good phenomenon, and I don't appreciate any of Assange's actions, because this new system is too fragile. I don't want Bitcoin to get involved in these events too early and affect his first impression of the public. At the same time, I am frustrated by the emergence of the "Silk Road" in the deep-net trading and speculative market. I can't deny that bitcoin itself is really suitable for these events, but it almost goes against my original intention. These users are either criminals or villains, not real liberals. But at the same time, the emergence of these things made me begin to understand that the development of Bitcoin began to get out of control, and there were not as many people in the community who supported my ideas as I expected. I know, it's almost time to go. There are the best talents and cryptographers in the world. They can help Bitcoin become more and more powerful. Although the ending of things is out of control, I still believe it will get better and better. So I began to deliberately reduce the number of activities, and the teacher's work was coming to an end. This is the best chance to get out of here. After answering a few small optimization questions, I decided to return to China.
Although I no longer participate, I have been paying attention to the progress of Bitcoin since I returned to China. At the earliest time, I silently participated in the mining and dug up 6.5438+0 million Bitcoin, which has been lying in my account. They are scattered in many accounts, and I will keep them one by one, because I will definitely use them one day. Bitcoin is also moving in the right direction. During this period, many people pretended to be me, and you always wanted to find me. I have to send a message on my account, which has no special significance. Actually, I just want to tell you that you should stop looking.
Today, Bitcoin has grown into a towering tree, and I still deeply regret the Deep Web and the Silk Road. Without them, Bitcoin may develop better, and more people will accept and use it without prejudice. But everything today still makes me proud. I hope everyone who has worked hard is the same. Thank you for your continuous cultivation. My 1 10,000 bitcoin is like a sword of Damocles hanging over your head, so I am still willing to stand up and tell you that the world belongs to you in such a harsh market environment.
So I want to give you all my assets of 654.38+00,000 Bitcoins, so that you can believe that this system is truly open and transparent and belongs to all mankind. When I wrote this, Bitcoin had dug more than 560,000 pieces. When the 700,000 th block is dug up, I will transfer these bitcoins to the miners who dug this block as promised.
Finally, it is really a foolish idea to issue more shares. You are destroying the value anchor of the future digital world. There will be other currencies to issue additional shares. It's up to you to worry about. Do the side chain. Everything will be fine. But it doesn't matter, it won't destroy bitcoin, it's just a funny fork, isn't it?
In order to verify everything I said above, I will leave my ECDSA digital signature for anyone to see, pointing to the creation block with bitcoin height of 0:
I used to be that Satoshi Nakamoto.
Thanks to Satoshi Nakamoto from Hash School, I found you and Twitter @CSW to provide some information.
Thanks to Zhihu, can Satoshi Nakamoto destroy Bitcoin in one sentence? "anonymous praise answer.
Thanks to the verification signature generation tool provided by Albacore labs, it is not true.
Pay tribute to Satoshi Nakamoto, a stranger who changed the world.
