The digital copy of Satoshi Nakamoto’s Bitcoin whitepaper was an Easter egg that was located earlier this month embedded within a test scanner app on macOS. But Apple has now removed it from the latest beta version of its operating system. With the removal of the test scanner app called Virtual Scanner II from the beta, the Bitcoin white paper – along with all the other elements it was bundled up with – is also gone. According to a report, the document will no longer be...

Popular on the Ethereum blockchain, zk-proofs are also coming to the Bitcoin network. ZeroSync Association is bringing zk-proofs (Zero Knowledge) to Bitcoin (BTC) even as cryptographic techniques become popular on the Ethereum blockchain. Reports state that ZeroSync, a Swiss non-profit association, received sponsorship from crypto investment platforms Geometry Research and StarkWare Industries. The newly-formed association already has a working prototype, allowing users to validate the...

Craig Wright – the Australian computer scientist who has long claimed to be Satoshi Nakamoto – is taking a lot of flak for implementing a new feature into his BSV (bitcoin SV) token. The Vision of Satoshi Nakamoto Is Arriving in an Odd Place The new feature is known as a “blacklist manager,” and it’s a software tool that allows users and investors to take back coins from thieves should their assets be stolen. At the heart of the matter is something that appears to be...

Vitalik Buterin’s first tryst with the Bitcoin community dates back to 2011. He began participating in ‘Bitcointalk,’ a forum created by Satoshi Nakamoto. It was then that he co-founded and started writing articles for Bitcoin magazine. He began traveling to speak with BTC developers around the world in a bid to construct a new, potentially superior iteration of the Bitcoin blockchain. In late 2013, Buterin described the idea of yet another digital currency in a white paper...

The streak of bankruptcies and price declines has dampened glimmers of positive progress. But Bitcoin just turned 14 today. January 3 is known as Bitcoin Genesis Day for the first block of BTC ever mined by Satoshi way back in 2009, which paved the way for the cryptocurrency as we know it today. The first block on the network hosts a single transaction – the 50 BTC block reward – sent to the pseudonymous creator(s) for mining it. The BTC mining rewards are yet to be touched....

In the final trial between Bitcoin proponent Peter McCormack and computer scientist Craig Steven Wright (CSW), UK High Court Judge Martin Chamberlain ruled that the former should pay a fine of $1.1 million. According to the court document, McCormack failed to prove that he was telling the truth when he labeled Wright a fraud. However, Judge Chamberlain said that the legal proceedings have not established that Wright is Satoshi. The scientist then contested that McCormack...

Satoshi Nakamoto was last active on the popular and veteran bitcointalk forum on this date 13 years ago. Nakamoto did not want to be a “mysterious shadowy figure.” Instead, the creator of the world’s largest crypto-asset wanted to focus on the open-source project and give more credit to the dev contributors. Source: Bitcointalk“More Work To Do” Over a decade later, the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto continues to be an unsolved mystery. The Bitcoin creator contributed...

Bitcoin turned 14 on Halloween this year. How Far Has Bitcoin Come? Back on October 31, 2008, Satoshi Nakamoto – the pseudonymous creator of the world’s largest and most powerful digital currency by market cap – sent the whitepaper for the new anonymous financial system to emails across the world. In the paper, Nakamoto wrote the following: What is needed is an electronic payment system based on cryptographic proof instead of trust, allowing any two willing parties to transact directly with...

Denys Troyak is a native of Sydney, Australia that has a new crypto project in mind he’s calling Satoshi Island. Satoshi Island Is a Fully Crypto-Run Area The project involves creating a small city that is purely reliant on bitcoin and other digital currencies to thrive. The city will be built atop a remote (and overgrown) pacific island and will be largely private, meaning anyone who wants to get involved will likely enjoy full anonymity. Troyak got the idea because...
