pfft, real neutral pov there

Most of the article is technically ill-informed; unfortunately, much of the logic, while sound if it were based on factual reality, fails in that sense. The gaslighting in this cas…

lol ArtForz was an engineer who single-handedly designed from scratch low-run book printing machines, built his house with CHP that he designed and created himself, created his own…

I'm not gmax, mike, which you definitely knew on IRC when you offered to help me deal with criminal harassment on IRC by handing me +o status in the channels where they were harass…

lol, no.

> The fact that the inputs, outputs, and fee of a transaction must add up isn't exactly "detailed knowledge" :) They don't have to! (re: txid 5d80a29be1609db91658b401f85921a86ab475…

The massive amount of additional logic and thought about Satoshi from OG'ers (e.g. |}ruid etc) that have come out in response to this terrible effort, IMO is partly the purpose of …

Most people have no way to more-deeply authenticate those emails because you didn't provide headers. Many people, myself included, would love some way to better-rule-out whether pa…

Complete nonsense, lol.

You are inflating the amounts considerably (and unverifiably with bald assertions) and then generalizing the rest of the industry based on anecdotal individual reports. The amount …

This is .. pretty much just a total whole-fabric lie.

The first payments in bitcoin were not the pizzas. Malmi sold bitcoins for money prior to that. The first people using Bitcoin were not ransomware users; the first bootstrappers we…

> Current libbitcoin-explorer instructions telling users to use the seed command to generate private keys. .. and receive bitcoin at them. Wow brutal.

And yet r/btc are or were all or almostly entirely paid employees of Roger Ver and Reddit didn't seem to care at all.

It is a lie, since Bitcoin Cash never moved funds that weren't signed by their owners. You're going to have to prove that, now, or admit you overspoke. The direct counter-evidence …

No, that's incorrect. There is no fundamental trust; you were describing control in a coercive sense among the developers by directly asserting that developers have specific contro…
