Topic: Does anyone have all the 575 posts satoshi has made on this board? (Read 10105 times)
I miss Satoshi, he really knew how to code.

As far as I've understood, nothing has been lost:
The posts on the SourceForge forum were lost.
That's unfortunate. The data on the sourceforge forum would be interesting.
Seeing who was there first and if there were any other clues in those posts about Satoshi...

Not self-consistent?
This forum is the bitcoin.org forum, just at a different name. The SourceForge forum was different.

Is there a way to filter out development posts? I seem to recall a comment about libertarianism and how he was better at programming then convincing others.
It's only 575 posts, just read them all. About as many as a reasonably sized thread. August 19, 2012, 09:33:45 PM

...
Yes.
Was the old bitcoin.org-forum migrated to this site, and the posts from the old forum carried over to this one?
Yes.

There will be a class called "History to modern money" to be taught in university 20 years from now and this would be a big big mystery in human history.

^ Custom checksums aren't obsolete. TCP uses 16 bit checksums. This means that, on average, one packet out of 2^16 (65536) will have a correct checksum but contain corrupted data (if my probability math is correct).
This is the reason that many downloads list the MD5 or SHA-1 checksum next to them, even though they are transferred over TCP.
Using the 4-byte checksum in the protocol means that only one out of 2^32 packets (~4 billion) will be corrupt, but have the right checksum.

Using the 4-byte checksum in the protocol means that only one out of 2^32 packets (~4 billion) will be corrupt, but have the right checksum.
the reason why many downloads has a hash next to them is for security considerations (so you can check you downloaded the binary the author wanted you to download and not a hacked/replaced one)
two checksums sounds like a little overkill to me. dont forget: the corrupted data with the correct checksum must also follow the protocol to do any harm. as bitcoin is designed to trust other nodes as little as possible i dont see a problem.
anyway: i dont think the current checksum does harm in any way

Well, that at least explains what the custom checksums are for. I was wondering about that. Satoshi was right, TCP does do it for you. I guess a bug in which a socket was closed twice leading to garbage being parsed could have motivated him to add that, but it's unfortunate that we are now stuck forever with a workaround for a long obsolete bug.
It'd be nice to phase out the checksums at some point.

That happened before Satoshi left.

It would have been nice to get this attention in any other context. WikiLeaks has kicked the hornet's nest, and the swarm is headed towards us.
I think thats why he left the project.

I just recounted all post counts, and it turns out Satoshi actually has 576 posts.

So there's about five months of forum posts on sourceforge that went poof at some point before the Internet Archive found it and first spidered it in July 2010.

I'll find some time to read these posts.
And read this post: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.738484
Something's fishy goin' on! It's like they (whoever they are) are tryin' to make this Satoshi guy disappear.

who in the hell spells email "e-mail" in 2010 (besides satoshi?)
The Chicago Manual of Style recommends "e-mail". Maybe Satoshi follows a style guide like CMoS.

Hah, that's the first thing I did when I became a moderator, is look at all his old threads in the staff forum.
Me too.
