Imo they cannot discover its empty. Simply cannot. That’s the only thing left to „back the Dollar“ kind of, isn‘t it? Would be a huge scandal.
Cool! Where did you find that picture?
Thats awesome tech, thats cypherpunk spirit!
„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, of I understand it correctly.
Hal“
He sounds so proud of these 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. Two days earlier Hal had posted his famous Tweet „Running bitcoin“.

Working myself down the rabbit hole of the early days…
Does anybody know where to get a copy of this Wired issue? I would love to read that Cypherpunk article.

Still at the beginning I guess.

GM!!
Of course there were posts, if you read them today, you see people understood certain things back then already. Satoshi himself already predicted several developments in the future like large scale
Mining Business. But my thesis is that there was almost nobody who both got it AND was able to explain that to Joe Average. Mainstreet people that were not into tech or cypherpunk stuff. Ok, Andreas Antonopolous was one but apart from that?
Who? Tell me a few to look up.
Meet an OG #Bitcoin miner from back in the Mt. Gox days. This dude's talking about Bitcoin like he's living in 2025, not back when it all started! https://video.nostr.build/7deffb2ec8495bda972f386a1e75a666bb58320ad899ea0f42410f95c83875a7.mp4
I also had the impression that his conviction was already strong back then. Extraordinary, since there was almost no mainstream #Bitcoin Education or people like nostr:nprofile1qqs2xs05tluhtr6hpgsmqqxp04898gayjlyrjlexcrndv8j6el784xqtg3trx, nostr:nprofile1qqsgydql3q4ka27d9wnlrmus4tvkrnc8ftc4h8h5fgyln54gl0a7dgstw3r3l or nostr:nprofile1qqsvf646uxlreajhhsv9tms9u6w7nuzeedaqty38z69cpwyhv89ufcqngza3a around yet.
„Only people trying to create new coins would need to run network nodes. At first, most users would run network
nodes, but as the network grows beyond a certain point, it would be left more and more to specialists with server farms of specialized hardware.“
Satoshi, 2008
Satoshi was a fantastic thinker who envisioned the evolution of a mining industry with special mining computers back when the Genesis Block wasn‘t even created yet.
