Satoshi's code had a COIN and a CENT and nothing smaller with a name. Bitcoin's smallest unit, the satoshi, was named by users on BitcoinTalk two months after his last post.
Four exchanges opened between October 2009 and July 2010, none of them Satoshi's: NewLibertyStandard, Malmi's bitcoinexchange.com, Bitcoin Market and Mt. Gox — and the advice he sent from the side.
A curated way in: questions about Satoshi Nakamoto and Bitcoin history, each pointing to where this archive answers it in full.
Bitcoin's first price was a production-cost estimate. Satoshi predicted in 2010 that market price would come to dictate production cost — not the reverse. The arc from 2009 to modern models.
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.
German cryobiologist, transhumanist, and cypherpunk who joined the bitcoin-list discussion in October 2009, replying to Satoshi's post about Bitcoin stability and asking about Debian packages.
Finnish developer (born 1988); Bitcoin's most prolific early contributor after Satoshi. Exchanged ~260 emails with Satoshi, ran bitcoin.org, started the Linux port, did the first BTC-to-fiat sale.
Martti Malmi sells 5,050 BTC to NewLibertyStandard for $5.02 via PayPal — the first known Bitcoin-to-fiat exchange, establishing a real-world price of ~$0.001 per BTC.
NewLibertyStandard publishes the first exchange rate for Bitcoin: $1 = 1,309.03 BTC ($0.000764 per BTC), calculated from the electricity cost of mining — a rudimentary but historic first valuation.
NewLibertyStandard proposes adopting the Thai baht symbol (฿) as Bitcoin's symbol and BTC as the three-letter code on BitcoinTalk, establishing the notation still in use today.
Bitcoin v0.2 was released on SourceForge, introducing Linux support, multi-processor mining, proxy support for Tor, and GUI improvements contributed by Martti Malmi.
Malmi proposes a Bitcoin-to-euro exchange service. Satoshi answers with a fixed support-price idea and says he will not run an exchange himself; Malmi's own bitcoinexchange.com followed in 2010.
