Where Bitcoin's current reality has drifted from Satoshi's design intent: four axes — mining (one-CPU-one-vote to ASIC oligopoly), custody (own keys to exchange IOUs), governance, and scaling.
Early Bitcoin developer Jeff Garzik released videos detailing his time working with Satoshi, describing the creator as a self-taught, solitary genius who never revealed any personal information.
Jeff Garzik, one of Bitcoin's earliest core developers, reflects on his work with Satoshi. He discovered Bitcoin via a July 2010 Slashdot post and became one of the top three contributors.
Mike Belshe suspended the SegWit2x hard fork on the mailing list, about a week before the planned 2 MB activation at block 494784. The New York Agreement collapsed without a chain split.
Cross-cutting reading of Bitcoin's 2015–2017 block-size war by phase, faction, and turning point: Bitcoin XT, BIP148 UASF, the New York Agreement, Bitcoin Cash, SegWit2x cancellation.
Wei Dai's March 2014 LessWrong Q&A: why he never built b-money, his disillusionment with crypto-anarchy, and his reading of Satoshi's motives and background.
American engineer. Pre-Bitcoin HTTP/2 (SPDY) contributor. Co-founded BitGo for institutional Bitcoin custody. Signed and then cancelled the New York Agreement / SegWit2x (November 2017).
On March 11, 2013, one large block split Bitcoin: v0.8 nodes accepted it, older nodes rejected it. Developers chose the shorter chain every version accepted, and two pools downgraded to rejoin it.
Benjamin Wallace's Wired feature — an early major mainstream article on Bitcoin. Traces the whitepaper, mining boom, Mt. Gox hack, and growing pains, ending with Garzik's "We really don't care."
Bitcoin's migration from SourceForge SVN to GitHub, and the chronological record of developers who received commit access to the GitHub repository in 2011.
When correspondents wished Satoshi merry Christmas, predicted Bitcoin at $10M per coin, or hoped he was doing well, his replies opened on the technical topic and never returned. Five-pattern audit.
Bitcoin v0.3.18 was released on SourceForge, one of Satoshi's last releases, featuring wallet compatibility fixes and Gavin Andresen's accounts-based JSON-RPC commands.
Dutch developer (handle laanwj). Built the original bitcoin-qt GUI; succeeded Gavin Andresen as Bitcoin Core lead maintainer (April 2014 - August 2022); withdrew merge privileges in February 2023.
An integer overflow (CVE-2010-5139) let Block 74638 create 184 billion BTC. Satoshi released a fix 5h 40m after discovery; the fixed chain overtook the bad one about 15 hours after the block.
The August 2010 overflow recovery rested on knightmb's snapshot. Secondary sources have since attached a misattributed 10%-holder claim and a contested Tennessee identification to the same handle.
Structural reading of the 2010-08-15 overflow incident — soft-fork rescue mechanics, why a 5-hour response was only achievable then, transaction-shape forensics, and the centralization paradox.
As lachesis on BitcoinTalk in 2010, Eric Swanson built the mining calculator Satoshi thanked him for, found an RPC bug Satoshi fixed in rev 110, and named block 74638's number as INT64_MAX.
Slashdot, an influential tech news site at the time, publishes an article about Bitcoin v0.3. SourceForge downloads jump from 624 in June to 14,094 in July.
Complete record of all four developers who had commit access to Bitcoin's SourceForge SVN repository, from August 30, 2009 (r1) to September 13, 2011 (r252).
Satoshi coded Bitcoin on Windows for 27 months, mainly with MinGW. In November 2009 he finished the Linux build Martti Malmi had started; by mid-2010 there were Windows, Linux and Mac releases.
Unidentified individual or group who authored the Bitcoin white paper (October 31, 2008), wrote the software, mined the genesis block, and guided early development before disappearing in April 2011.
Doubters called it unscalable in 2008. A famed hacker failed to break the code. A judge, a dictionary, and a Nobel nominator weighed in. What others said about Satoshi, read as one record.
Inventory of every Satoshi self-reference in the public record (Aug 2008 – Apr 2011): identity claims, dev disclosures, operational state, farewells, authenticity-disputed. Each row anchored.
