Thanks, Satoshi. This new version seems to be running much better. I‘ve got 8 connections, and watching debug.log there seems to be quite a bit of activity. I see you sent me a payment, thanks! Let me know your adress and I will try sending one to you. I managed to generate a block yesterday and the coins are about to mature, if I understand it correctly.

First successes

I am currently reading through all the early mails and posts by Satoshi that are available. Very interesting! Like the above response from Hal Finney to Satoshi.

He sounds so proud of the first successes with the new Bitcoin Network, so relieved it seems to work. Remember this was January 12th of 2009, the Blockchain was not even two weeks old. One day before Hal had posted his famous Tweet „Running bitcoin“.

I wonder if them Satoshi letters can help reveal the identity of the mystery creator of BTC. Many people want that.

No they cannot. Have been public since years. Also I believe that the anonymous founder is a Core of Bitcoin as a decentralized Asset.

History!

Everyone here wants to find out who created Bitcoin and come forward, but I don't see that happening right now.

Newest rumor is the Jack Dorsey thesis…

Everyone is trying to know the one who invented BTC😅

And no one will ever find out. 😋
