BITCOIN P2P E-CASH PAPER Satoshi Nakamoto Sat, 01 Nov 2008 16:16:330700

Iโve been working on a new electronic cash system thatโs fully peer-to-peer, with no trusted third party. The paper is available at:
http://www.bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf
The main properties: Double-spending is prevented with a peer-to-peer network. No mint or other trusted parties. Participants can be anonymous. New coins are made from Hashcash style proof-of-work. The proof-of-work for new coin generation also powers the network to prevent double-spending.โ
