The founder of Nakamoto's mining app
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 InternetDongyang Public Security Bureau of Zhejiang Province immediately started the investigation and found that Qiao was not the only one who suffered losses. Through efforts, the police of the special task force determined the identity of the manager of the GBL trading platform and implemented the pursuit in time. The first case of fraud on bitcoin trading platform in China was solved
lawyer analysis:
Zhang Yanlai, senior special researcher of China e-commerce research center and lawyer of Zhejiang Jin law firm, believes that virtual currency is not a new concept. Q-coin and online game currency have long been known by people. However, the emergence of bitcoin once again makes people realize the power of virtual currency. Compared with the traditional q-coin, the biggest feature of bitcoin is that it does not have a unified issuing agency. The generation of bitcoin completely depends on computer algorithms, and anyone can participate in the issuance of bitcoin
this makes it difficult to trace the source of bitcoin, which makes it a real virtual currency. The anonymity, cross-border and other Internet genes of bitcoin make people see a new form of currency that may circulate in the future society, so the pursuit and use of bitcoin also continued to rise in 2013. Some foreign governments have recognized the legal status of bitcoin. In China, some online stores have begun to use bitcoin for trading. Restaurants that accept "bitcoin" consumption have appeared in Beijing. The first "bitcoin" investment fund in China is also being raised. After the Ya'an earthquake, one foundation has received a total of 65 bitcoin donations, with a market price of about 50000 yuan
of course, money laundering, fraud, gambling and so on will follow. This case is a typical case of fraud under the banner of bitcoin trading. As the first case of bitcoin fraud in China, the public security organs have also concted in-depth study and understanding of the professional knowledge related to bitcoin, and finally cracked the case. On December 5, 2013, the people's Bank of China, the Ministry of instry and information technology and other five ministries and commissions issued the notice on prevention of bitcoin risk, which first made it clear that bitcoin does not have the status of legal tender, and required financial institutions and Payment institutions not to price procts or services with bitcoin. The central bank believes that there are three risks in bitcoin Trading: high speculative risk; High risk of money laundering and being used by criminals or organizations. In the future, the future of bitcoin is not clear, especially in sovereign countries, which will take a prudent and conservative attitude towards currency, which involves financial order and national security. Therefore, the public should also raise enough risk awareness.
On November 1, 2008, a person who called himself Satoshi Nakamoto posted a research statement on a secret cryptography review group, stating his new idea of electronic currency bitcoin came out, and the first transaction of bitcoin was completed. Bitcoin has got rid of the constraints of third-party institutions with the help of information technology, which Nakamoto calls "regional chain". Users are willing to dedicate the computing power of CPU and run a special software to be a "digger", which will form a network to maintain the "regional chain". In the process, they also generate new money. Trading also extends on this network. The computer running this software can solve the problem of irreversible code, which contains several trading data. The first miner to deal with the problem will get a 50 bitcoin reward, and the relevant trading area will join the chain. As the number of "miners" increases, the difficulty of each puzzle also increases, which keeps the proctivity of bitcoin in each trading area at about 10 minutes
different from the outside speculation that it may be a fictitious name, "Nakamoto Tsui" is a real name. He is a 64 year old Japanese American who likes to collect train models. He once worked for large enterprises and the U.S. military and engaged in confidential work. In the past 40 years, Nakamoto has never used his real name in his life. According to a 1973 Los Angeles District Court file, when he graated from Caltech at the age of 23, he changed his name to Dorian prentice Satoshi Nakamoto. From then on, he no longer used the name "cong", but used Dorians Nakamoto as his signature
it's reproced from lightcoin house
recently, a news about the inventor of bitcoin Satoshi Nakamoto's appearance in California made the whole instry fall into the crazy pursuit of this "mysterious man" again, but this news was finally proved to be untrue. Unlike the inventor of bitcoin, the identity of Charles Lee, the inventor of lightcoin, has always been clear. Recently, he received an exclusive interview with the reporter of the first financial daily
BTC China (bitcoin China), the world's largest bitcoin trading platform, also officially launched lightcoin trading on March 4. This virtual currency is likely to become the most popular cryptocurrency after bitcoin<
Mr. Nakamoto "shows up"
Newsweek reported on Thursday that Mr. Nakamoto lives in temple, east of Los Angeles, California. His real name is Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto. The 64 year old, who owns $400 million worth of bitcoin, doesn't live in luxury, the report said. He graated from Caltech with a degree in physics and seems to have the necessary skills to develop cryptocurrency. In addition, he was involved in safety and communications at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
in an interview with the associated press, Nakamoto said that the media misunderstood this. Nakamoto said he had never heard of bitcoin. He firmly denied that he was the inventor of bitcoin. He repeatedly stressed: "I have nothing to do with bitcoin."<
it's not so important who Nakamoto is.
bitcoin fans' expectations of Nakamoto's appearance have failed again. However, recently, a reporter from China business daily interviewed Charles Lee, the founder of the virtual currency lightcoin, whose trading volume and market value are second only to bitcoin. For the reports that the media are eager to lift the veil of Nakamoto, Lee thinks that it doesn't matter who Nakamoto is. People just need to pay attention to the fact that bitcoin itself is valuable
Lee is currently working for a company dedicated to the development of bitcoin trading platform and wallet“ I think the success of lightcoin and bitcoin complement each other. Working on bitcoin is also good for the success of lightcoin. " He said
"before I knew about bitcoin, I had been investing in gold, which I think is a good way to fight inflation. But I came into contact with bitcoin three years ago. I think it is digital gold, and it has many other advantages compared with gold. For example, bitcoin can be infinitely divided and sent to other people without cost, but it also has a disadvantage compared with gold, that is, there is no corresponding physical object. " Lee said
in fact, Lee's first counterfeit coin project is not Wright coin, but fairbrix virtual coin. Fairbrix is a clone of tenebrix, a virtual currency. Tenebrix was founded in 2011. However, Lee believes that the developers of tenebrix dig up their own coins and collect 7 million tenebrix for themselves before they officially release tenebrix. This is very unfair“ Therefore, the community is interested in creating a zero pre mining tenebrix clone to make it more equitable. " Lee said
unlike bitcoin, the workload proof function of fairbrix written by Lee uses the crypt encryption algorithm instead of the SHA-256 encryption function adopted by bitcoin. Unfortunately, fairbrix is a failed project
but Lee's next attempt at counterfeit money was a success. In October 2011, he launched lightcoin, which integrates the code of bitcoin client and eliminates the program failure of killing fairbrix
there are many important differences between lightcoin and bitcoin. Unlike bitcoin's 21 million cap, lightcoin's cap is 81 million. In order to make the "mining" activity more democratic, lightcoin also integrates the workload proof crypt encryption algorithm from tenebrix project
"the advantage of scrypt design is that it can participate in" mining "by using CPU instead of using integrated circuit (ASIC) like bitcoin, which is the so-called expensive" mining machine. " "The relationship between bitcoin and lettercoin is more complementary than competitive," Lee said. In different situations, people can use different virtual currencies. For example, when shopping, you can use lightcoin to pay, because its transaction confirmation time is shorter, and when making large amount transfers, you can choose bitcoin, because it is more secure. "
when talking about other counterfeit currencies, Lee said that many of them are just scams and tools for developers to make money. He has not found other counterfeit currencies that can "compete" with bitcoin yet“ Ordinary investors can judge whether a counterfeit coin is worth investing from two aspects. First, it depends on the number of coins g up in advance. If developers have a lot of such counterfeit coins in advance, they are likely to make profits from them; The second is whether the developers are serious about the program. " Lee added. In addition, he expressed his interest in an unpublished virtual currency Ethereum, which may have a place in the future virtual currency world
it is worth mentioning that BTC China officially launched the lightcoin transaction on March 4. According to the data provided by bitcoin China, on the day of its launch, the number of visits to the website surged, with a total transaction volume of more than 30 million yuan in three days. Lee believes that bitcoin's launch in China further illustrates the fact that it is the most popular cryptocurrency after bitcoin.
