Peter Todd, mistakenly identified as Satoshi in an HBO doc, discusses Bitcoin's technical history, mining economics, block withholding attacks, and controversial ideas like demurrage.You're listening to Bitcoin Season 2. Subscribe to the newsletter, trusted by over 7,000 Bitcoiners: https://newsletter.blockspacemedia.comPeter Todd joins us to talk about Bitcoin's technical evolution, discussing terminology like "blockchain" vs "timechain," and revealing flaws in Satoshi's original design. Peter dives deep into mining economics, explaining the risks of block withholding attacks, the problems with activation mechanisms for soft forks, and controversial funding models like demurrage. Despite surviving significant challenges, Bitcoin faces ongoing security concerns as block rewards diminish, requiring creative solutions to ensure mining remains economically viable long-term.Notes:- Block withholding attacks remain an unsolved risk- Mining rewards currently ~0.5% tax on Bitcoin savings- Bitcoin difficulty algorithm relies on halving events- Miners have ~24-30% hash power can disrupt network- Transaction fees alone insufficient for mining economics- Demurrage could stabilize mining revenue long-termCheck out our Bitcoin scaling conference!

Block Version Number in BitcoinThe block version number in Bitcoin serves as an indicator of which set of consensus rules a block follows. It's also used to signal miners' readiness or support for upcoming protocol upgrades. Over time, block version numbers have evolved from simple sequential numbers (like versions 1 through 4) to a more complex bit-field system, which allows for multiple upgrades to be signaled at once.From last time you badgered me I made some notes. Evolution of Block VersionsEarly Versions (1-4):These were straightforward indicators of protocol changes. For example:Version 1 was used from the Genesis block until March 2013.Version 2 came with BIP 34, authored by Gavin Andresen, it added the block height to the coinbase transaction and was activated at Block 227,931 on March 27, 2013.Version 3 enforced stricter signature validation with BIP 66, authored by Pieter Wuille, it ensured correct DER encoding of signatures. It activated at Block 363,725 on July 4, 2015.Version 4 enabled CheckLockTimeVerify (CLTV) with BIP 65, also authored by Pieter Wuille, it allowed for time-locked transactions and activated at Block 388,381 on December 11, 2015.Then come the Version Bits format:Bitcoin upgrades were becoming increasingly complex, the block version system transitioned to the Version Bits signaling mechanism, which allows multiple protocol changes to be signaled at once using specific bits in the block version field, allowing miners to signal support for up to 29 features simultaneously, each represented by a specific bit in the 32-bit version field.When Segregated Witness (SegWit) was introduced, Bitcoin transitioned from simple block versions to the complex numbers seen today.Special Note: before we review the important key version bits, I have to make something clear. These version numbers are more than just sequential; they signal specific changes using bitsI am going to call out version numbers like 536 870 912, which is is the decimal representation of the hexadecimal value 0x20000000The full number 536870912 in binary is 00100000000000000000000000000000.“536" doesn't have standalone significance. It's just a part of the decimal value when the binary representation of 0x20000000 is converted into base 10 (which equals 536870912).The important part lies in the bitwise representation, where the leading bits "001" in the binary form, are reserved for signaling purposes, indicating that version bits are being used.But for the purpose of conveying version numbers to a human (this human being you Max) we will use the decimal representation instead of 0x2 nd a bunch of zeros or 001 and 29 more zeros.Now to the bit version section…Version 536 870 912 indicated readiness for SegWit, introduced through BIP 141 (authored by Pieter Wuille). SegWit was activated on August 24, 2017, at Block 481,824.Version 536 870 913 was used to signal support for BIP 91 and authored by James Hilliard. BIP 91 lowered the threshold required for SegWit's activation. It was locked in at Block 477,120 on July 20, 2017.Version 536 870 914 and 536 870 916 continued signaling for SegWit deployment through various BIPs.How It Works TodayToday, miners use the Version Bits system to signal support for new upgrades, and they must keep their block version numbers in line with consensus rules. Version numbers like 536870912 (SegWit) are still recognized by the network, and each bit in the version number, a miner can signal support for different soft forks simultaneously.For instance, if the network is ready for a future upgrade, miners will flip the corresponding bit in their block version number, signaling their support for the upgrade. The rest of the version field remains intact, allowing multiple soft forks to be signaled at the same time.First 3 bits = 001: Reserved and indicate version bits are being used.Remaining 29 bits: Available for signaling specific soft forks or protocol changes. Each of these bits corresponds to a different potential feature being activated.Car Analogy for Bitcoin Block Version NumbersLet's compare Bitcoin's block version numbers to Fords and how their cars evolved from simple model numbers to VIN numbers that represent various features and changes in their design over the years.The Model T and Block Version 1:Just like Ford's Model T, the first Bitcoin blocks (version 1) were basic, so basic, buyers didn't even have a choice in what color vehicle they could buy “you can have a car in any color so long as its black. Similar to early block versions that had no special features—the first blocks had no complex rules or signals, just the essentials.Evolving Model Years and Version Numbers:As Ford expanded its lineup, more models came out, and so did the need for differentiating cars beyond going from model T to Model A. Apply that to Bitcoin, version 1 to 4 were indicators of upgrades like block height (BIP-34), stricter validation (BIP-66), and time-locked transactions (BIP-65) can be compared to model T to model AComplex Version Bits = New Ford VIN Structure:Eventually, car manufacturers standardized more details in its VIN numbers to reflect all the specifics of each model the world manufacturers identifier, vehicle description section, and the vehicle identifier section—just like Bitcoin's version bits system, which allows for more granular signaling.The VIN was introduced in 1965 to track each vehicle's specifications. The first two characters of the VIN, such as “1F,” identify Ford and where the vehicle was built. 1F is a Ford built in the USA.For example, characters 4-8 in a Ford VIN indicate engine type, body style, and model, much like Bitcoin's complex version numbers (536 870 912 or 0x20000000) that signal specific features like SegWit (BIP-141) or BIP-91 activation.Or version 536 870 916 (0x20000004) signals both SegWit and BIP-91—much like how characters in the Ford VIN specify the engine, body, and trim level of a car.VINs were more standardized in the 80's. Ford's VIN numbers now include production year, plant location, and a unique serial number to distinguish every car (that's characters 10-17). Likewise, Bitcoin's version bits (introduced with version 536870912) can signal multiple protocol changes at once. Just as the tenth digit in a VIN tells you the model year (e.g., “J” for 1988), a Bitcoin version number can tell you which upgrades are active. Bits 1-3: Reserved for version signaling format (for example, the top three bits set to 001 for soft fork signaling).Bits 4-32 can each represent a specific feature or soft fork proposal, meaning multiple upgrades can be signaled simultaneously within the same block version field.ConclusionIn both cases, as the products (Fords and Bitcoin blocks) became more complex, the identifiers also became more detailed. From simple model numbers like T and A (Max likes T & A) to VIN numbers, Bitcoin's version bits both allow for greater customization and finer control.Like how car manufacturers track and signal changes to its cars over time with VINs, Bitcoin uses block version numbers to ensure the network continues to evolve. Bitcoin is still Bitcoin, and a Ford is still a Ford regardless of the fact Henry Ford is dead, and Satoshi is not Craig Wright, or Adam Back, or Peter Todd.

Someone invented internet money, and we want to find out who they are. We're not mad, we just want to talk. For a decade and a half, the true identity of “Satoshi Nakamoto,” the author of the Bitcoin whitepaper, has been a closely guarded secret. Several major publications have tried to uncover crypto's founding father, including New Yorker, Vice, Newsweek, New York Times, and Wired. But definitive answers are elusive, despite the fact that Satoshi possibly controls over a million bitcoin worth tens of billions of dollars. In the HBO Documentary “Money Electric: A Bitcoin Mystery” director Cullen Hoback makes an original case that the person behind Satoshi isn't any of the usual suspects. Hoback, who also directed the docuseries “Q: Into the Storm,” believes that Satoshi is the Canadian Bitcoin core developer Peter Todd, who was 23 years old at the time of the whitepaper's publication. Peter Todd, in the film itself and after the film's release, denies that he is Satoshi. We chat with Cullen about what inspired him to take on this project, why it even matters who Satoshi is, the evidence that convinced Cullen that he's “very close to the answer,” and the internet mysteries he plans to tackle in future documentaries.

Do you prefer multistory episodes, single story episodes, or a mix? Let us know! In today's episode of Discover Daily, we explore the mysterious world of cryptocurrency as a new HBO documentary reignites the debate over Bitcoin's creator by suggesting Canadian developer Peter Todd as Satoshi Nakamoto. Todd has gone into hiding following the documentary's claims, which present circumstantial evidence linking him to Bitcoin's creation, though the cryptocurrency community remains skeptical of these assertions.We then delve into groundbreaking developments in carbon capture technology, where UC Berkeley researchers have created COF-999, an innovative powder that can remove up to 20kg of CO2 per year using just 200 grams. This remarkable material operates at room temperature and requires significantly less energy than traditional carbon capture methods, potentially transforming our approach to combating climate change.Our main story focuses on Colombia's ambitious $4.5 million expedition to recover the legendary San José galleon, known as the "Holy Grail of Shipwrecks." This 300-year-old Spanish warship, containing an estimated $17 billion in gold, silver, and emeralds, lies at the bottom of the Caribbean Sea. The recovery effort has sparked an international legal battle over ownership rights between Colombia, Spain, indigenous groups, and a U.S.-based company, highlighting the complex intersection of historical preservation and national heritage.From Perplexity's Discover Feed: https://www.perplexity.ai/page/named-bitcoin-creator-in-hidin-7gvtjeqkR6Sp.TmCwbRuxwhttps://www.perplexity.ai/page/powder-can-capture-carbon-from-iv7mjPSZQHyIzV6OynyqeAhttps://www.perplexity.ai/page/the-holy-grail-of-shipwrecks-DuKDuHpKQparaBaoOQ8EYQPerplexity is the fastest and most powerful way to search the web.

In the documentary Money Electric, filmmaker Cullen Hoback put forth the theory that developer Peter Todd was Satoshi Nakamoto, the mysterious creator of Bitcoin. In this episode, I talk to cryptocurrency expert Jeremy Clark (pulpspy.com) about this theory, with a focus on the language and behavior of Peter Todd. We discuss: the 2010 forum post by Peter Todd that forms the backbone of Hoback's theory; Peter's behavior in the film when confronted, which many people saw as suspicious and strange; the difficulties of relying on nonverbal behavior for clues; and how simple, neat, and exciting stories can attract us.

De documentaire Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery is te bekijken op HBO-Max. Documentairemaker Cullen Hoback beloofde zijn publiek de identiteit van Satoshi Nakamoto te onthullen. Of dat nu gelukt is, is maar de vraag. De documentaire wijst de Canadese ontwikkelaar Peter Todd aan. Todd was er inderdaad vroeg bij, had zelfs direct contact met Satoshi Nakamoto, maar zegt zelf absoluut niet de bedenker van Bitcoin te zijn. Daarbij wil hij benadrukken dat de jacht op zijn identiteit een zinloze exercitie is. Ondertussen vond deze week Bitcoin Amsterdam plaats, op het Westergasterrein in de hoofdstad. De conferentie werd woensdag met gevoel voor spektakel geopend. Headliners zijn onder meer Strike-oprichter Jack Mallers, Adam Back (die ook zomaar Satoshi Nakamoto zou kunnen zijn) en Elizabeth Stark van Lightning Labs. Ook buiten het hoofdpodium is er genoeg te beleven. Het evenement is een waardevolle plek om nieuwe ideeën op te doen, te netwerken of kennis te maken met allerlei bitcoinbedrijven en (zelfbedachte) toepassingen. Deze week in de Cryptocast Een gesprek met tech-ondernemer Marc van der Chijs over de koppeling tussen Crypto en AI. Een aantal weken geleden vertelde ik aan jullie dat die combinatie helemaal hip is. Deze week besprak ik met Marc of dit inderdaad meer is dan twee bij elkaar geveegde buzzwords. Er is in ieder geval genoeg om te bespreken. En wie weet betalen onze AI-agents elkaar straks allemaal met crypto. Met Daniël Mol bespreken we elke week de toestand van de crypto.

In this lively episode of Mid Mic Crisis, hosts Bunchu and Chamber revisit one of the crypto world's greatest mysteries: the true identity of Bitcoin's elusive creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. The duo begins by reflecting on their AI-heavy previous episode, but quickly pivot to this week's main topic, spurred by the recent release of the HBO documentary *Money Electric*. They review the top candidates for Nakamoto—Hal Finney, Len Sassaman, Craig Wright, Nick Szabo, and the newly introduced contender, Peter Todd—discussing the evidence and theories surrounding each.The conversation takes a humorous turn as Chamber wrestles with "normies" struggling to understand advanced tech like AI and crypto, before diving deep into the betting markets predicting Satoshi's identity. The hosts highlight how Peter Todd has become a focal point of speculation, though they remain skeptical, rating him a 6 out of 10 likelihood. They close out the show with some fresh insights into Hal Finney and his fascinating connection to the Bitcoin origin story, leaving the mystery of Satoshi's identity open-ended, while continuing the long-running debate.Tune in for witty banter, conspiracy talk, and the ongoing question that continues to baffle the world: who really is Satoshi Nakamoto?Follow Us:Website: https://midmiccrisis.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@midmiccrisisInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/midmiccrisis/?hl=enTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mid.mic.crisis?lang=enTwitter: https://twitter.com/MidMicCrisisNewsletter: https://mid-mic-crisis-newsletter.beehiiv.com/subscribeMMC Push Pass: https://ks-pages-119byl.web.app/pass/66db3c111db9a79db7fdaafeFireBrain AI: https://www.skool.com/firebrainPowered by @dGenNetworkWebsite: https://dgen.network/Bad Dadvice PodcastNew Dads giving hilariously bad advice about fatherhood, life and current events.Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the show

Bitcoin is catching its breath, price-wise, still unable to break through the $64K resistance, but also avoiding retesting the $60K support. Still, this may be the calm before the storm as several analysts predict a big finale this month. Elsewhere, the HBO Bitcoin documentary was finally released and the person "unveiled" (very much in inverted commas) as Satoshi Nakamoto wasn't any of the favorites on Polymarket! Speaking of Polymarket, new data shows only 12.7% of wallets on the platform are in profit. So, for all of this and much more, carve out just 10 minutes from your day.Further reading:BTC price retests $62K as Bitcoin preps 'very high impact' month endBitcoin following ‘perfect script' to chart $150K all-time high this cycle — AnalysisPeter Todd named Satoshi Nakamoto in HBO documentaryExperts hint Donald Trump consider Robinhood exec to lead SEC: ReportOnly 12.7% of crypto wallets report profits on PolymarketThis episode is sponsored by Unlimit.

"An argument for doing a consensus cleanup soft-fork first, prior to enabling any new opcodes or other features for new types of L2’s, is that we’d learn more about how willing the wider community is to implement what should be a relatively uncontroversial soft-fork that arguably benefits everyone." — Peter Todd In this deep dive into Bitcoin's Layer 2 solutions, we explore Peter Todd's comprehensive analysis of soft fork and covenant proposals. What are the trade-offs between different scaling solutions like CTV, OP_CAT, and SIGHASH_ANYPREVOUT? How might these changes impact Bitcoin's future, and what path forward offers the best balance of innovation and security? Join us as we unravel the complexities of Bitcoin's potential upgrades and their implications for the network's scalability and functionality.

"Lightning achieved a many-to-one mapping of transactions to transactions... But creating even a single UTXO per user is, arguably, not good enough. So there are many proposals out there to achieve even greater scaling by allowing multiple users to share a single UTXO in a self-sovereign way. Again, collapsing another “space” dimension of scaling users into one UTXO."— Peter Todd Today we dive into Peter Todd's recent review of the various Layer 2 covenant proposals and the soft forks associated with them to analyze the core concepts, the costs, and benefits of each. For moving into the next realm of scaling with genuine "L2's," what are the trade-offs and possibilities for Bitcoin's future?

Jessie Foster was the embodiment of youthful vigor and charisma. Glendene Grant, Jessie's mother, recalls her as a teenager full of life, love, and laughter. Growing up in the quaint city of Kamloops, British Columbia, Jessie's childhood was marked by happiness and stability. She lived a stone's throw away from her school, surrounded by a tight-knit community. But as Jessie's journey into adulthood began, so did her quest for exploration and freedom. In 2005, the allure of the United States beckoned. Jessie, then 20, decided to visit Florida, New York City, and Atlantic City. Her unexpected call from Las Vegas took her mother by surprise, revealing a sudden change of plans. Jessie would stay on to celebrate her 21st birthday in the city of sin. But as days turned into weeks, and weeks into months, Jessie's return to Canada kept getting postponed. Phone calls filled with a multitude of excuses kept Glendene hopeful, but deep down she felt an unsettling void. Jessie had fallen in love with a man named Peter Todd. She even made a fleeting visit to Canada during Christmas, but her heart was set on returning to Las Vegas. That Christmas day was the last time Glendene saw her daughter in person. The last call from Jessie came in late March 2006, after which she disappeared without a trace. Peter Todd, her boyfriend, claimed to have no idea about her whereabouts. With her personal belongings left behind and no concrete evidence of foul play, the police had little to go on. Fast forward to 17 years later, Glendene is still holding onto the memories of her daughter. Despite the dark cloud of mystery shrouding Jessie's disappearance, she has a gut feeling that her daughter is still alive. That heartstring between a mother and child remains unbroken. However, the waters of this cold case have been recently stirred. The arrest of the alleged Gilgo Beach serial killer, Rex Heuermann, has put the spotlight back on Jessie's case, and several others like it. Jessie, after all, had been in the dangerous world of prostitution in Las Vegas and had faced violence. Could her disappearance be connected to Heuermann, the man now at the center of multiple murder investigations? The profile of Heuermann and his suspected crimes is disturbing. He is believed to have been involved in the deaths of several women, most of whom were escorts in Las Vegas. Between 2003 and 2006, five such women, including Jessie, disappeared or were found dead. Many of their bodies were dumped in desolate areas, wrapped in cloth. Could Heuermann be the serial killer behind these heinous crimes? Tantalizing clues hint at this possibility. Heuermann had ties to Las Vegas, owning timeshares since 2004. Autopsy reports of his victims show eerie similarities between the Las Vegas cases and the Gilgo Beach murders. Both involved strangulation as the cause of death. Furthermore, the discovery of Lindsay Marie Harris's dismembered body in Springfield, Illinois, a location mentioned in Heuermann's bail application, added another layer of suspicion. While the investigative trail is heating up, definitive evidence linking Heuermann to Jessie's disappearance remains. Glendene sees physical similarities between her daughter and another victim of Heuermann. But for now, it remains a haunting possibility. Whether or not Heuermann is behind Jessie's disappearance, her case is back in the limelight, offering a glimmer of hope to her family. As the net tightens around Rex Heuermann, many families wait with bated breath. The connections, though speculative, are hard to ignore. The answers to these families' agonizing questions for years might finally be within reach. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
