Did you know Satoshi had alternative names for Bitcoin? Netcoin, e-cash & supercoin! 1 day before registering Satoshi registered http://netcoin.org image Before launching the White Paper on 31 October 2008, Satoshi contacted Adam Back to verify the Hashcash citation. in the email a draft of the White Paper is present. Filename: e-cash.pdf The Title is pasted in the email "Electronic Cash Without a Trusted Third Party." image Adam mention's Wei Dai's b-money. 22 August 2008 Satoshi contacts Wei Dai, same draft is shared in the same format. Link to a e-cash.pdf The Title pasted: "Electronic Cash Without a Trusted Third Party." image I was also curious if he registered http://e-cash.org around then. Looks like someone did on the 20 July 2008. Sameish period. But different IP, and different registar. Very possible these were owned by domain investors(from parking behaviour) image 5/5 And the last name come from the preBitcoin v0.1 code that Satoshi shared in private to a few testers. In one instance when testing if the mining functions work he calls it SUPERCOIN. This code was later share by one of the testers. image

I want to sell a .pdf via LN. Is there a service I can use to set this up? I will share a link to someone and if they pay 1$ they get a .pdf I know I could do this with BTCPay or LNBits if I host it, but don't want to host anything, and more importantly I do not want to set up a node, manage liquidity.

Did you know Satoshi worked for 1 year and a half on Bitcoin's code before releasing the White Paper? He mentions this in a conversation on the Cyphterpunk Mailing list on 17 Nov 2008. 2weeks after the lunch of the White Paper. image
