Cross-cutting architecture comparison across every subsystem: Satoshi's v0.1 (January 2009) side by side with modern Bitcoin Core v27+, with split diagrams and domain tables.
Bitcoin's threat model mapped end-to-end: what the protocol trusts, what it defends against, how each attack is countered, and where open risks remain.
How Bitcoin nodes agree on a single chain: SHA-256d proof of work, the difficulty adjustment algorithm, block validation rules, fork resolution, and probabilistic finality.
High-level system overview of Bitcoin's architecture, layer model, and data flow. Entry point to a 12-page design-document series covering every major subsystem.
Beginner's visual guide to Bitcoin — 30 terms across 8 chapters, each with a diagram. Coins as UTXOs, transactions as flows, blocks chained by hashes, mining, mempool, longest-chain consensus.
Which Bitcoin assets are at risk from a cryptographically relevant quantum computer, and what the timeline and migration debate around post-quantum cryptography looks like.
Chinese entrepreneur (1986–). Translated Bitcoin whitepaper into Chinese (2011), co-founded Bitmain (2013), backed Bitcoin Cash with hashpower (2017), later founded Matrixport and Bitdeer.
Vincent Durham launched Namecoin on April 18, 2011 — the first altcoin and first fork of the Bitcoin codebase. It implemented the BitDNS proposal as a decentralized name registration system.
Charlie Lee launched Litecoin on October 13, 2011 as a Bitcoin-codebase fork with Scrypt PoW, 2.5-minute blocks, and 84 M cap. He framed it as 'silver to Bitcoin's gold'.
On November 20, 2011, Bitcoin v0.5 shipped with the Crypto++ SHA-256 subset removed and replaced by OpenSSL. Wei Dai's library, a direct codebase dependency since v0.1, was gone.
b-money is whitepaper reference [1], his Crypto++ shipped inside Bitcoin v0.1, and he was the second person Satoshi contacted. The evidence for Wei Dai as Satoshi, weighed.
Bitcoin v0.1 reuses one cypherpunk primitive (PoW from Hashcash), borrows general CS components (Merkle trees, linked timestamping, ECDSA), and synthesizes the rest (UTXO, mining, 21M cap, P2P).
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.
Bitcoin's migration from SourceForge SVN to GitHub, and the chronological record of developers who received commit access to the GitHub repository in 2011.
Lerner published The Patoshi Mining Machine, using re-mining simulation to prove Satoshi mined on a single high-end CPU with 5 parallel threads — refuting the Whale Alert claim.
Trammell asks what prevents the most powerful node from generating the majority of bitcoins — one of the earliest questions about mining centralization.
Wei Dai announces Disperse/Collect 1.0 on the Cypherpunks list, built from his own Crypto++ library. Confirms he was an active coder, relevant to why he later chose not to implement b-money.
Computer scientist and cryptographer who created b-money (1998), one of the earliest digital currency proposals, and the Crypto++ library. Satoshi emailed him before publishing the Bitcoin paper.
