HN always had a special love for bitcoin
He seems to be a bitcoiner now
Should read more bitcointalk and sourceforge OG posts good times
Only read through Bitcointalk in ‘12
Bitcoiner:
To be fair, that was *really* early
but it is not anonymous. imagine how successful it would be already if it was anonymous. if also miners were anonymous...
I think maybe pure anonymity in mining is not fully desirable
you need to make a difference between
-the anonymity of the node which is not desirable and not possible
-the anonymity of the human who operates the node which is desirable
nodes are meaningless. centralization and state attacks is a danger that can be observed in a proof of work network because it's very difficult to create and install nanometer scale asics without someone knowing that you did it.
without that there would be no way to know if all the miners are secretly owned by one person
I felt the same way back then. Fortunately, I eventually figured it out and now I'm here :)
2022: 🤷🏼♂️

It’s like when the nerdy chick from high school becomes Miss America
