Bitcoin Cash inherited Bitcoin's ledger and 21 million cap at the 2017 fork, then split twice more under implementation teams with no single founder to arbitrate.
Litecoin copied Bitcoin's code and rescaled four parameters by an identical factor of four, then its creator divested his entire holding, citing his own influence over the price.
A consensus mechanism built on its own clock, an issuance rate that keeps shrinking without a cap, and a supply that started with a premine to the foundation and its investors.
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.
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.
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.
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'.
The Google engineer who shipped Litecoin in 2011, called Bitcoin the soundest money in the space for a decade after, and sold every coin he held in 2017.
Bitcoin's migration from SourceForge SVN to GitHub, and the chronological record of developers who received commit access to the GitHub repository in 2011.
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.
Trammell asks what prevents the most powerful node from generating the majority of bitcoins — one of the earliest questions about mining centralization.
A source-level map of Bitcoin v0.1: the byte boundaries for transaction, block, and signature hashes, and the reuse of one serializer across network and disk paths.
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.
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.
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.
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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
