Did you know the NSA published a Cryptocurrency Paper 12 Years Before Bitcoin? 








Here we can see people in 2010 being very surprised by the fact that fees are even a thing on Bitcoin.
They did not knew the extra BTC they got when mining were transactions fees.

However between the TX in Block 170 to Hal until the one shown above, we can see there were 7 other transactions made.
Looking at how the funds flowed, it seems Satoshi was making test payments to hiself.

Satoshi explaining what is a Blockchain
Bitcoin use the bas58 format for addresses(non-segwit)
Satoshi makes a point that script does NOT have loops
Simpler = better security!
This decision is what sets Bitcoin apart today from other blockchains.
Satoshi copied the implementation of SHA256 from the Crypto++ Library maintained by Wei Dai.
This makes a lot of sense, since it's always good to NOT implement your own cryptography.
Seems Satoshi considered using other Eliptic Curves for Bitcoin.
One strange thing here is the 279 value for secp265k1 in this comment. Typo?
Bitcoin uses secp256k1 with the standard 256 bits length.
Satoshi showing a bit of humours.
Since this is the last process that will run, it will close the app, hence closing the lights :)
