The concept of bitcoin was founded by Nakamoto
On December 12, 2010, when bitcoin graally became a hot topic, he quietly left and disappeared from the Internet As a descendant of samurai, Nakamoto was born in 1949 in Beppu, Japan. His mother, quanzi, was a Buddhist and brought him up in poverty When his parents divorced in 1959, Nakamoto's mother remarried and immigrated to California with her three sons. Nakamoto and his stepfather don't get along well, but according to his younger brother Arthur, Nakamoto showed his talent in mathematics and science when he was very young, but also showed his "fickle and strange interest"Nakamoto graated from Caltech, majoring in physics. Upon graation, he joined Hughes Aircraft and worked in defense and electronic communications. Later, Nakamoto worked for the U.S. military, and his experience was classified as a state secret. Now searching his files, his life is a blank
In 2008, in an e-mail group discussing information encryption on the Internet, he published an article outlining the basic framework of the bitcoin system. In 2009, he established an open source project for the system, officially announcing the birth of bitcoin. On December 12, 2010, when bitcoin graally became the climate, he quietly left and disappeared from the Internetat the end of 2010, Nakamoto left the project and did not disclose much about his identity. Since then, many developers have devoted themselves to bitcoin projects, and the bitcoin community has grown rapidly
bitcoin's protocols and software are publicly released. Any developer around the world can view its code or develop their own modified version of bitcoin software. Just like current developers, Nakamoto's influence is limited to the changes he makes that are adopted by others. Therefore, Nakamoto does not control bitcoin. So, today, the question of the identity of the inventor of bitcoin may be the same as that of the inventor of paper< At present, the bitcoin foundation is mainly responsible for the development and maintenance of bitcoin projects
bitcoin is proced by mining. Mining is also a very professional work. At present, bitcoin mining needs professional ASIC miner, such as Avalon three generation single-mode miner.
