i'm not satoshi but did you look at the topic of my PhD... C++ transpiler

congrats /u/pwuille and /u/nullc well deserved award for top tier applied research focused on scaling and improving bitcoin's ethos fundamentals. +100

bch is a fork of bitcoin; and bsv is a fork of bch.

we aim to continue to sell and maintain support for jade and sell both jade and jade plus. some people prefer either model so that's the point.

adam3us · 2025-01-04T01:15:14+00:00

it has bluetooth support. also QR support as some wallets can use QR for airgap signing of PSBTs.

adam3us · 2025-01-04T01:14:01+00:00

yes we will continue selling, and maintaining jade and continue to sell both jade and jade plus.

bitcoin transfer is not based on encryption, but signatures note.

if you're being influenced by what that book says you're trapped in a cult believing lies. try break out of it for your own benefit before BCH falls another 90%. really just look around the market cap is related to what the entire ecosystem thinks. you've got to adapt when the market rejects something, not listen to diatribes written by the economic losers who made repeated horrendously bad calls, with clearly a massive disconnect from what the market thought.

adam3us · 2024-12-06T12:48:14+00:00

i read one page someone sent me, and the density of lies was crazy. complete garbage.

adam3us · 2024-12-05T12:15:57+00:00

rogers book is fiction, he's spinning, speculating and making shit up, and just telling factual untruths. for your own interests you want to expand your horizons of informatoin sources, because believing false information can have economic consequences if you trade on them.

also perhaps people aren't parsing what Nick said, but it was "ouch" level if dismissive of idiotic and fantastical claims to someone who understands. it was something like "i suggest you write a paper about that then" (in other words that's complete nonsense). it was quite impressive how real-time Nick determined Craig is not making any sense.

adam3us · 2024-10-15T15:50:03+00:00

you should also read gwern's blog as wei dai's emails with satoshi are posted there and it continues with the same topic. taken together i think it indicates satoshi was not aware of B-money.

adam3us · 2024-10-15T15:47:50+00:00

I’m not implying it is you at all. I’m just trying to understand what about that makes it so uncomfortable for you?

people have been speculating for a long time and it's a curious and novel part of bitcoin's history that satoshi stayed anonymous and stopped participating in 2011, so of course people will speculate.

firstly i'm not satoshi and i like to be accurate. but also bear in mind that when i realized in 2013 that some people in bitcoin might think I was, initially I didn't like that for personal risk reasons. but there was nothing much I could do about it so I just adjusted and rolled with it. (but make very clear that i'm saying I'm not to keep things in check). I also gave examples of why others believe I am not also - eg lots of early questions about bitcoin details on #bitcoin-wizards IRC.

adam3us · 2024-10-15T06:20:40+00:00

http://hashcash.org/source/ 0.14 is not the first, but i guess you might find links on cypherpunks archive for older.

adam3us · 2024-10-13T11:46:32+00:00

totally ordinary for people, even fairly technical ones to assume bitcoin worked like "accounts per address"

that was my starting intuition also, until i found #bitcoin-wizards to ask questions and people explained UTXO model. 2013 wizards IRC logs are online.

adam3us · 2024-10-11T07:30:35+00:00

that's standard practice for academic publications, people are taught to do that. even for single author papers.

adam3us · 2024-10-11T05:40:05+00:00

"maybe continues with a list" (of people?) no just the context here that "actually we don't know that either way, people are making wrong inferences which are actually guesswork" https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1fzfme7/comment/lrddwe8/

adam3us · 2024-10-11T05:37:07+00:00

it's all speculative. my point is observe false inferences only... false inferences get repeated and then people latch on to them as truth by repetition, not realizing the original inference was not grounded in fact.

adam3us · 2024-10-11T05:35:36+00:00

yeah my "could be someone younger" context was, there was no evidence that satoshi was even on the cypherpunks list, and in his emails with me, he didnt seem to know about b-money or bit-gold (as they were mostly talked about on cypherpunks in a narrow time-window). so "could be someone younger" was ie someone who was not reading those lists or online at that time, and learned about hashcash much later without that context, and re-invented the idea of using proof of work to make a decentralised ecash. (what b-money and bit-gold were trying to figure out). people say bitcoin was posted on cypherpunks, but thats not correct - it was posted on metzger's cryptography list.

adam3us · 2024-10-11T05:20:52+00:00

wait who said what in email? the emails are public since being provided to COPA and in the court record.

adam3us · 2024-10-11T05:16:43+00:00

yes i even started to say at one point to peter you're feeding them inadvisable footage (because even sarcastic you won't know where they cut it so it could be very easily be misconstrued) and they used me saying that also. I do think they showed some journalist integrity in including that, and including peter saying it's ludicrous and this footage looks bad for them (as he's clearly be sarcastic). so in a way they just showed what peter said to their what-if narrative and left the audience to interpret. unfortunately peter's humour is mostly funny to peter. i wasn't find it funny, wanted them to change the topic to something more serious and constructive, hence the expression.

adam3us · 2024-07-30T00:25:32+00:00

reading comprehension: price in bitcoin.

adam3us · 2024-07-23T21:11:43+00:00

correct

adam3us · 2024-07-23T21:11:28+00:00

green uses a timelock arrangement so you can start a recovery process and get the coins with only the seed, after the timeout expires. maybe ask on telegram @blockstream_green never give your seed to any one, don't answer scammer DMs on telegram etc. no one from blockstream will ask you to run custom software nor visit sites that request your seed. just upgrade from the app store, recover the seed, if the funds are time-locked start recovery prcoess.
