about some of his Whitepaper sources. Which may also tie in with a theory proposed by Scott Stornetta, that Satoshi was a kind of savant amateur, who could put the pieces together, but was not really an expert. More to come on that. On a finale note, it’s fun to see Feller’s...

looking way more professional then a professors tutorial papers, a textbook, MathWorld (Wolfram), or Wikipedia (which also used the modern Whitepaper formatting) and may also be privacy enhancing for Satoshi. Therefore, it does appear that Satoshi may have fibed a bit, (heh)...

for a layman to understand. So a secondary source that uses practical examples, such as a lecture or textbook could be a probable candidate here for Satoshi’s actual source for these Calculations. Furthermore, using a primary source book as the footnote has the benefit of ...

formulas from a secondary source that cited the W. Feller 1957 primary source. This secondary source theory, would also explain why the date for the second edition was used, instead of the third most recent 1968 edition. The Feller book is also not very approachable or easy

“modern stats” order. Mathematically, they’re identical — multiplication is commutative — but the stylistic ordering is a tell. It may suggest that Satoshi did not get the Poisson Distribution formulas from the Feller primary source, as cited. Rather, they may have found these..

In both Fellers 2nd and 3rd editions, the Poisson probability mass function is written as above. Despite this variance in formula styles between Fellers Book and the Whitepaper, they technically both mean the same thing. Though, Satoshi writes it in the more “computer science” or

The differences between each edition were not all that substantial either. Another unusual thing about this reference is that the books formula for The Poisson distribution does not match the format used by the Whitepaper in the Calculations section:

...for the Whitepaper’s final section on “Calculations” related to a 51% attack scenario. The year, 1957, used for this reference is a bit odd, since the book had a more recent 3rd edition, printed in 1968. So why did Satoshi refer to an older second edition from 1957 instead?

October is Bitcoin Whitepaper Month I reviewed the Whitepaper’s 8th and final Footnote so you don’t have to! Here’s what I found: The second edition, first volume, 1957 print of W. Feller’s, "An introduction to probability theory and its applications," was referenced...

If you own spot bitcoin in cold storage, you're doing pretty good today If you got rekt with leverage, shitcoins or treasury companies, consider this a lesson and don't touch the stove again.

Any attempt to rationalise away the dangers of changing the OP_RETURN defaults, (and then removing completely the ability to change them from the ini) by failing to mention the problem at all is extremely disingenuous. Claiming that "it's an ok tradeoff" is ridiculous and

I would not update to Bitcoin Core v30: 1. It was never a debate, a decision was made. 2. Users are not stakeholders 3. Devs do not understand limits of own wisdom. 4. It's not a solution to a problem. 5. Risk of unintended consequences 6. No incentive to relay large op returns!

As a (hopefully) temporary measure, run Knots. I strongly recommend not upgrading to Core v30. https://t.co/d9HFi7T59H
@LeeroyBitcoins @phyrooo @lorandimecs @Excellion @_jonasschnelli_ @Shireh0dl @adam3us It's a very well-publicized increase in the OP_RETURN allowance that very publicly invites more non-financial data onto Bitcoin. Even though apps can already put data in other parts of Bitcoin, this increase sends a signal inviting more such data. Without adding safeguards to

Satoshi Nakamoto registered their 1st Sourceforge account today, 17 years ago. Their username was "nakamoto2". Another developer had already taken the name "nakamoto" on Sourceforge. On Nov 9th, they used "nakamoto2" to create the bitcoin project on Sourceforge.
