Nakamoto Satoshi NS NeXTStep introduced NS to Objective-C Satoshi was a fan of Steve Jobs, Objective-C, and Bitcoin was his next step. @jack

“Every piece of software built requires tremendous attention to detail and endless fiddling to get right. In response to this problem we have clung to fads: structured and object-oriented programming, UML, software patterns, and eXtreme Programming. We grasp for mathematics or engineering to come to our rescue—perhaps even the law: By requiring licenses for our developers maybe we can force improvement in software making. It just won’t happen—it’s like those rockets: We simply do not know how to get massive software off the ground without crashing and endless fiddling. But we don’t accept that. The way out of this predicament is this simple: Set up a fairly clear architectural direction, produce a decent first cut at some of the functionality, let loose the source code, and then turn it over to a mob.”

Hacktivist 1 and 2 are great books. A must read for anyone interested in Bitcoin.

Hacktivist 2: A Masked Story of Jack Dorsey to Reclaim the Identity of Satoshi and the Development of Bitcoin

Can someone ask Alyssa Milano when the third and final edition of Hacktivist will come out? Surely her series needs to be a trilogy after the CW conclusion

A lifetime of code poured out of his mind The nodes would all talk, the transactions be signed The problems were beat, the byzantine was defeated Where no one could cheat, no transaction repeated Every fiber and chunk proved the future was here It was cyber and punk said the proud engineer Since the hackers and cynics attack all things as vapor He became an academic and wrote up a White Paper "Very promising" one said, "Does not work" another cried Who was this Satoshi, can't work, it's been tried! So he sent out some files so they could all read That Bitcoin was real and that it came from the feed Some tweaking and fixing made it ready to sync 3 Jan set it off, it was all on the brink Science fiction turned real, there was even a Finn An eight-day wait all the same just to go and jack in And from the J block arose a Home F-T-P He looked at the clock as they went from point A to point B Thank you pal, thank you Hal, old Satoshi did say Then he called up his mom, "Oh Happy Birthday” @jack

The 145 addresses that signed a message to prove Craig Wright did not own them started with a 5/11/09 address with “Jak” and ended with a 1/9/10 address with “HiSQ” (Hi Square) @jack

Dans quelle mesure l’activisme en ligne dans Hacktivist était-il basé sur des faits réels ?

Figuring out an answer is always an educational adventure.

An orphaned commit

Satoshi used the coins from Block 9, the 10th block in the chain for the first ever btc transaction: Block 0 = A Block 1 = B 2 = C, 3 = D, 4 = E, 5 = F, 6 = G, 7 = H, I = 8, 9 = J J for Jack.

“Sorry, hotshot. Eight day wait. Your nervous system would fall out on the floor if you jacked in now.” Neuromancer is the reason there is an 8-day gap between the genesis block and the first btc transaction.
