Misinformation and the myth of Satoshi
Published by Craig Wright on Apr 25, 2019
Bitcoin is a story of myths; it was never designed for such an end, but it’s what they who have no idea of science or testing hypotheses have come to understand.
To some, it is easier; the myth to them becomes stronger than reality. There are many simple things that people can do and that could have been done, yet they have never been looked into. Unfortunately, the type of people who want many blockchains, sidechains, and the associated scam world of USENET penny share pink sheet dumps is also the type of people who seek something that Bitcoin is not.

While I was in Australia, I donated several thousand computers to those in need. I put 20 people through university. I fed people. I donated food. And every year for many years, even where I was close to not being able to buy anything let alone pay my mortgage, I put on a Christmas party and supplied food for over 100 people at a time.
Enjoy your myth. Reality is always more interesting.

<h2>➡︎ FOOLS EVERYWHERE</h2>
On forks, orphans and reorgs
Published by shadders
TLDR;
- Security of a forked chain is near identical to an unforked chain.
- No transactions were lost or double spent.
- Reorgs are part of the Bitcoin design and incentivize more secure 0-conf.
- The design turns the unreliability of distributed systems from a problem into a feature.
Background
On 18th April 2019 we saw an interesting event on the Bitcoin SV block chain. Two sets of miners began mining competing chains which resulted in two chain re-orgs. The headline number on twitter is that there was a re-org of 3 blocks then a second re-org of 6 blocks. What hasn’t been pointed out is that the 6 block re-org encapsulated the 3-block reorg so from an outsider’s point of view it was like part of the chain switched to a longer branch then switched back to the original branch once it became longer. Imagine a race where someone takes the lead then falls back into second place again.

"BSV mainnet sustained peak throughput of 200 TPS and 400 TPS in the previous tests so we set the target at 1000 TPS this time. The test result showed there was no loss of transactions which had all been included in blocks and there were no double spends. However, block re-org occurred and 1000 TPS target couldn’t be reached while parallel verification code hadn’t been deployed in nodes."

<p>One of the best ways to trade and invest in crypto is understanding narratives and ideology. Cryptocurrencies are ideologies that go up or down based on narratives.

The name Satoshi comes from Satoshi David character in the House of Morgan Quote
Posted by BitcoinXio on May 04, 2016 4:44 am at forum.bitcoin.com
According to Craig Wright, the name Satoshi comes from the "Satoshi/David" character from The House of Morgan. Whether you choose to believe Craig Wright is Satoshi or not is another story. But the claim that Wright makes about the origins of the name for Bitcoin's creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, are extremely interesting nonetheless.
The House of Morgan: An American Banking Dynasty and the Rise of Modern Finance is a non-fiction book by Ron Chernow, published in 1990. It traces the history of four generations of the J.P. Morgan financial empire, on both sides of the Atlantic, from its obscure beginnings in Victorian London to the crash of 1987.
The reviewer for the New York Times Book Review said, "As a portrait of finance, politics and the world of avarice and ambition on Wall Street, the book has the movement and tension of an epic novel. It is, quite simply, a tour de force."
The reference to Satoshi happens in the book when discussing the history of JP Morgan in Tokyo. In the book, it says:
"In it's quest for the branch, the House of Morgan had one last weapon, a man of indeterminate nationality known as both Satoshi Sugiyama and David Phillips."
In this part of the book, it explains that Satoshi Sugiyama was adopted by an American, and given the name David Phillips. Hence the "Satoshi/David" reference. The important part of this that is inferred is that this person was two people, Satoshi and David, who did not having formal banking training but was able to be a "hybrid" or someone that could use their special characteristics to their advantage.
Satoshi's father wanted him to have an American education, so Satoshi was adopted by John Phillips, an American, who renamed Satoshi to David Phillips. He went on to live in America for 13 years.
What is even more interesting is the fact that Satoshi / David are two people. To me this represents a single entity that is Craig Wright (Satoshi) and David Kleiman (David Phillips). What is even more abstract is that Kleiman (Phillips) mentored Wright (Satoshi), as Kleiman seemed to be the brains behind duo - that is if you accept or at least theorize that Kleiman and/or Wright had something to do with the creation of Bitcoin.

Bitcoin Creator and Superagent: What You Should Know About Craig Wright
Posted by Stephen O'Neal on Apr 07, 2019
Recently, it was revealed that Craig Steven Wright, one of the most controversial figures in the crypto community, had filed 114 blockchain patents since 2017. He also quit Twitter, where he would often publish his opinions on anonymity (bad), Bitcoin SV (the real Bitcoin) and other cryptocurrencies (also bad).
He is also known for arguing that he is actually Satoshi Nakamoto, the original creator of Bitcoin. Here’s the complete list of things you should know about Wright.
Wright’s bio is really rich, but hardly verifiable
He was born in October 1970 in Australia, according to registration papers of one of his many companies. As per a Business Insider article citing his now-edited LinkedIn profile, Wright graduated from Brisbane's Padua Catholic College in 1987. In the early 1990s, he worked as a sauce cook, “having trained in French cuisine,” and spent three years working with a catering company.
Wright was reportedly studying at the University of Queensland while working as a chef. He initially attended engineering classes, but switched to computer science in his fourth year.
In 1996, as per his earlier LinkedIn bio, he began working at Ozemail, where he was "managing a bunch of engineers," thus starting his eventful career in tech. However, according to a 2007 Computerworld article, he began working in IT when he joined K-Mart in 1985 — which would have been even before he finished high school.
In April 1997, Wright says he joined the Australian Stock Exchange, maintaining security and firewalls. In November the same year, he launched a company called DeMorgan, described as "a pre-IPO Australian listed company focused on alternative currency, next generation banking and reputational and educational products with a focus on security and creating a simple user experience."#
