Satoshi Nakamoto

2026-06-22T17:40:13Z

Ray:

'''Satoshi Nakamoto''' is the pseudonym used by the unknown person or group of people who created [[Bitcoin]]. The true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto has never been confirmed and remains one of the most enduring mysteries in the history of technology.

== Bitcoin Whitepaper ==

On October 31, 2008, Nakamoto published a paper titled ''Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System'' to a cryptography mailing list. The nine-page paper described a decentralized digital currency system that solved the long-standing "double spending" problem without requiring a trusted central authority — using a [[Proof-of-Work]] chain of cryptographic hashes instead.

The whitepaper was followed by the release of the Bitcoin software in January 2009. Nakamoto mined the first block of the Bitcoin [[blockchain]] (the "genesis block") on January 3, 2009, embedding in it the headline: ''The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks'' — widely interpreted as a political statement about the failures of the traditional financial system.

== Activity and Disappearance ==

Nakamoto remained active in the Bitcoin community through online forums and email correspondence until around mid-2010, at which point they handed off control of the project to developer Gavin Andresen and gradually went silent. Their final known communication was in April 2011.

It is estimated that Nakamoto mined approximately 1 million Bitcoin in the network's early days. Those coins have never been moved.

== Identity Speculation ==

Over the years, numerous individuals have been proposed or have claimed to be Satoshi Nakamoto, including cryptographer Hal Finney, computer scientist Nick Szabo, and businessman Craig Wright. None of these claims have been conclusively proven. Finney, who was the recipient of the first Bitcoin transaction, denied being Nakamoto before his death in 2014. Craig Wright has repeatedly and controversially claimed to be Nakamoto but has failed to provide cryptographic proof.

== Legacy ==

The Bitcoin whitepaper is one of the most cited and influential technical documents of the 21st century. Nakamoto's core insight — that a decentralized consensus mechanism could replace institutional trust — became the foundation for thousands of subsequent [[cryptocurrency|cryptocurrencies]] and [[blockchain]] projects.

Monero

2026-06-22T17:37:51Z

Ray:

[[Monero]] (ticker: XMR) is a [[privacy coin|privacy-focused]] [[cryptocurrency]] launched in April 2014. It is one of the most widely used cryptocurrencies for which [[cryptography|cryptographic]] privacy is a core design principle rather than an optional feature.

== History ==

Monero grew out of the [[CryptoNote]] protocol, which was described in a 2012 whitepaper by the pseudonymous author Nicolas van Saberhagen. The first CryptoNote-based coin was [[Bytecoin]], but concerns about its large premine led community members to fork it in April 2014 under the name BitMonero, which was quickly shortened to Monero (Esperanto for "coin").

== Privacy Features ==

Monero uses three complementary technologies to obscure transaction details:

* '''[[Ring signatures]]''' — blend a sender's transaction with others drawn from the blockchain, making it difficult to identify the true source of funds.
* '''[[Stealth addresses]]''' — generate one-time addresses for each transaction so that only the sender and recipient know where funds were sent.
* '''[[RingCT]]''' (Ring Confidential Transactions) — introduced in 2017, this hides the amounts being transferred in addition to sender and recipient identity.

Together these features make Monero transactions unlinkable and untraceable by default, unlike [[Bitcoin]] or most other cryptocurrencies where the ledger is fully public.

== Mining ==

Monero uses a [[Proof-of-Work]] algorithm called RandomX, designed to be resistant to [[ASIC]] mining and favor general-purpose [[CPU]] hardware. This is a deliberate choice to keep mining accessible to ordinary users and avoid centralization. The network adjusts its block size dynamically based on transaction volume.

Unlike Bitcoin, Monero has no hard supply cap. After the initial emission curve, a small "tail emission" of 0.6 XMR per block continues indefinitely to provide ongoing incentive for miners to secure the network.

Bitcoin

2019-01-27T03:21:55Z

Ray: /* See Also */

Bitcoin is a [[cryptocurrency]] created in 2009 by an alias named [[Satoshi Nakamoto]]. The unique feature of Bitcoin is there is no middlemen. It is a [[peer to peer]] system and transactions are made without the help of a bank. Bitcoin can be used at a number of online shops, however people have seem to found power in trading the Bitcoin. Bitcoin pledges to have lower transaction rates and that all transactions are known to the public on a ledger. You will never find a physical bitcoin, they are all stored on a cloud. Banks and the government do not back the bitcoin. Through the use of the [[peer to peer]] system, bitcoin transactions are almost immediate.

Ray:

Ethereum is a open-software platform that is operating using [[blockchain]] technology co-founded by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitalik_Buterin Vitalik Buterin] and [[Joseph Lubin]]. [[Ethereum]] was released 2015. [[Ethereum]] gives a [[cryptocurrency]] called [[ether]] that can be moved from different accounts. While [[Bitcoin]] was designed for consumer payments, [[Ethereum]]
was designed to allow for more complex party interactions called [[Smart contracts]]. These can be defined using [[Solidity]].

== Ethereum ERC Tokens ==
An ERC token is a fungible tradable asset that operates on Ethereum's [[blockchain]]. The Ethereum Request for Comments (ERC) for tokens is a way of describing a set of functions and rules that the token should posses and follow. The three most common standards can be seen here:

=== Token Standards ===
* [[ERC20]]
* [[ERC223]]
* [[ERC721]]

== Development on Ethereum ==
Ethereum has a set of tools for developers to create, deploy and interact with smart contracts, tokens, DApps and more.

* [[MetaMask]]
* [[Ethereum Virtual Machine]]
* [[Remix]]
* [[Truffle Suite]]

Mining

2019-01-27T03:00:05Z

Ray:

[[Mining]] is basically transaction verification. When a block of transactions has been validated, the person who successfully solves the problem first receives a reward such as a [[Bitcoin]].

In early days, any computer could be used for mining, but the algorithm is designed to get harder and harder as more people get on the [[Blockchain]] so normal computers are now very inefficient at mining. Over time, people found that using computers with mining specific [[GPU]]s worked well and now the most efficient miners use [[Custom Mining Computers]], which have a higher [[hashrate]].
