The is no Devcoin Gold yet. But then again, we've never been one to "peg" to anything. I came across an interesting article about 'recreating' addresses with Bgold that @bitcoincoreorg cut out since 0.13.0 - perhaps one day we can do a similar thing in future Devcoin software :)

https://t.co/cv4UqsaVAK

That being said I hold some Doge @blockio in an "A-" address myself after 0. 1. "9-" versions :). Don't believe Bitcoin Core the Coin (Utility) is the only visible value on Core chain. Color me crazy. I believe in script. And FOSS that is used to export📜
And that's just a guy @MeniRosenfeld who put his identity and ideas out in the public to build a Web of Trust back when the web was much less of a safe place. His identity at stake and the implementation of a branch in source code by another unsung hero @killerstorm reveals value
Some of those who set up our bright future quietly implemented it in a branch on the main source code before it was officially the Bitcoin Core main repository, before a "Bitcoin Core" entity existed https://t.co/uEWhFCP3o0
Just because Bitcoin Core nodes dominate and do not read "smart" colored satoshis or display them, doesn't mean they do not exist on chain. The example of recreating P2WSH-over-P2SH address from BTC https://t.co/ZWSP2MO5bY wallets in Bitcoin Core Gold I shared proves -rescan's $
Others may have gained more recognition in what we're used to - published papers point is, whether you wrote the original "whitepaper" https://t.co/rnewCx0q8t of the idea - your references show even concepts are shared work. Later on, even the Bitcoin.pdf took 2 men to rewrite it
And using FOSS tools from @TheASF the credited Translator of bitcoin's most recognized document @MeniRosenfeld completely rewrote in Hebrew in many fonts (David, Times New Roman, Courier New) and sizes in boxes of text - not necessarily right aligning in the way us Word users do
Containers (boxes) of text, positioned right aligned with normal/centered/some L-aligned text inside, but the containers none the less. And even the diagrams were "flipped" from L to R (like Satoshi's) to R to L, but if you open the .odg file, every line was reconstructed. POW
More examples of how this document looks as an exported PDF file (possible directly from OpenOffice Draw) - it doesn't matter how people choose to read it, the source code shows this was made open source and is thus a complete rewrite and reformatting from scratch of Bitcoin.pdf
The file is part of the official https://t.co/HX5tWXjGsg "bitcoin-papers" directory but I had to find the source code itself on github in a branch that was pulled/merged into the @wbnns collection and both re-named and consolidated with another author who also claims Hebrew trans
https://t.co/KuQb1eP6Nk
This file however was translated from the https://t.co/HX5tWXjGsg hosted (English original) bitcoin.pdf by a Zeev Shilor. I later talked to Zeev on FB. He, like Meni has used his real identity in these docs - staking his identity in real life: https://t.co/ubf2zwSGhX
The title of Shilor's translation eventually was joined by @MeniRosenfeld's in wbnns directory, even taking the file name from Shilor's documents and then consolidated into the .odg raw format and the exported pdf. steps seen at https://t.co/riEtARtfAr
The final "bitcoin_iw" is now hosted on https://t.co/HX5tWXjGsg in the directory https://t.co/59sUvzRc56 - not finalized for the site until May 25, 2020 (or uploaded before to the Bitcoin Project's official 2009-2020 website). The same content was online since 2012 on M.R.'s site
First hosted on @MeniRosenfeld since 2012 on the web, https://t.co/HX5tWXjGsg didn't even have the Hebrew translation hosted until 7+ years after the same translation by M.R. with formatting by @jimnguyenjn was on Rosenfeld's site since at least 2012: https://t.co/wD2dm4PRaF
Like Satoshi Nakamoto is credited with releasing the first Bitcoin software, @MeniRosenfeld released the first Hebrew translation of bitcoin-qt also previously running an alternative site to Mt. Gox with services provided to buy Bitcoin. https://t.co/frNE9T3O11
Also, his service (founded April 2011) called Bitcoil is still an active site, but in maintenance - meaning - not dead - not in service, but still hosted for a future reason as all these products around this character attached to his real, staked identity, support a Web of Trust.

The bottom of this FAQ suggests other services including #bitcoin_otc (which has a Web of Trust with him on it) - proving this service is for the betterment of the community and not the profit of the company itself: https://t.co/HuV7pLlcFc
This is what bitcoin is all about. It's pseudonymous creators to create privacy for everyone they can trust as well as not one person taking credit for the project. It's others that put their own real identity at stake to solidify a Web of Trust. And its a system for the world...
Which after my long Sunday morning explanation of Hebrew - I hope you get the point. Bitcoin is not just about the rockstar identities, english documentation, and one software like Bitcoin Core. It's about all versions making sense in the end after the loop has cycled enough.
Killerstorm explains why these sources are a work in progress, not failures, and that the success others found is taken from incomplete work people don't even realize they implemented, wrote, and formatted as devs #DAC #Devcoinlike #BCorp #legalprotection https://t.co/595ulHQ6HA
We must -rescan what we pruned or certain software mass users use slashed from the protocol/software at a later date. Even implementing an already functional, original, Devcoin-like system to bootstrap a universal version as then Colored Coins team mem @VitalikButerin wrote 2013

$BTC: Two Bitcoin FUDs to address this Thanksgiving weekend:

1. China PlusToken FUD: Old news. Please see linked thread.

2. U.S. Treasury FUD: Read thread below...


1/ These news are much more relevant, as they imply severe trade-offs for people who want to keep their bitcoins undoxxed, with the cost and risks of doing so. I would not disqualify the tweet as mere FUD in the sense that what he posted is false. It should be taken seriously.

2/ For all we know, his decision of making it public before TG weekend may come out of the urgency of informing CT of a poignant anti-Bitcoin move by a Trump administration trying to cut lose ends before leaving office—not just "price manipulation" as I've seen suggested around.

3/ It implies the acceleration of a process already planned for for months in advance, not something he just came up with to "crash the market."

4/ In practicality, assuming this passes, it will have two major consencuences:

a. Armstrong's analysis is correct. And I would go further in saying, this regulation would leave the U.S. severely handicapped to continue to be the leader in the cryptocurrency industry worldwide.
1/ If, like me, you've been looking at #Bitcoin over the last few years with interest, but you have never really decided which side of the fence you sit on, this thread might be good for you.

“A double-spend broke Bitcoin" debunked.
Another #FreeLoveFriday. So far, I’ve covered Bitcoin, Mastercoin/Omni, and last week ChainLink and the importance of decentralized oracles. Today, let’s talk about one of the most fascinating projects in crypto - @MakerDAO


In my thread about Mastercoin, I briefly touched on the vital role fiat-backed stablecoins play in crypto markets, but there’s a catch with them:

The counterparty risk of a third-party holding fiat in reserves.

Enter MakerDAO, which set out to create a decentralized, collateral-backed cryptocurrency, DAI, that would be “soft-pegged” to the U.S. Dollar using the power of algorithms. In crypto tradition, its supporters said trust game theory, not operators.

In 2017, MakerDAO published a whitepaper describing a system where anyone could create DAI by leveraging ETH as collateral to create Collateralized Debt Positions. Essentially, you take out a digital USD loan against your crypto.

The game theory of the system is structured such that DAI issuance is controlled to keep the price pegged to $1.00. In essence, it buffers the fluctuations of the underlying collateral to create a synthetic dollar bill.

I hate when I learn something new (to me) & stunning about the Jeff Epstein network (h/t MoodyKnowsNada.)

Where to begin?

So our new Secretary of State Anthony Blinken's stepfather, Samuel Pisar, was "longtime lawyer and confidant of...Robert Maxwell," Ghislaine Maxwell's Dad.


"Pisar was one of the last people to speak to Maxwell, by phone, probably an hour before the chairman of Mirror Group Newspapers fell off his luxury yacht the Lady Ghislaine on 5 November, 1991."

OK, so that's just a coincidence. Moving on, Anthony Blinken "attended the prestigious Dalton School in New York City"...wait, what? https://t.co/DnE6AvHmJg

Oh that's right.

The dad of the U.S. Attorney General under both George W. Bush & Donald Trump, William Barr, was headmaster of the Dalton School.

Donald Barr was also quite a


I'm not going to even mention that Blinken's stepdad Sam Pisar's name was in Epstein's "black book."

Lots of names in that book. I mean, for example, Cuomo, Trump, Clinton, Prince Andrew, Bill Cosby, Woody Allen - all in that book, and their reputations are spotless.
