^^^^ I will triple this.
I just didn't bother coz I don't care
Hmm, I would venture to say that adoption will trickle down to countries like that the same way cell phones/technology has in the past.
It would take a major initiative by someone with money to speed things along in any other manner. But look at it this way, if the average person (about 90-95%) in America doesn't understand bitcoin, how can you expect it to be much different in Africa?
To be honest they'd be better off rolling out their own currency and circulating that instead. They could take on a nationwide initiative to adopt a cryptocurrency. Why would you want them to circulate bitcoin the price is too high. They just need something fungible, easily transferrable, and secure.
The biggest hurdle to adoption in my eyes is the IRS ruling that bitcoin is property subject to capital gains taxes. That opens it up to a whole set of regulations. The goal needs to be to build up the infrastructure around the coin to allow for as few conversions back to fiat as possible.

I can absolutely guarantee that OP is Satoshi.
Now, Satoshi, between us, we have accumulated 1Million+ BTC. What should we do with it?
I am still holding on to mine like I promised. Last time I tried cashing out a couple of K's Mtgox crashed out.

i would like to ask a simple question and that is what would you do to make Bitcoin more popular in sub-saharan african countries such as Nigeria and Ghana to increase patronage and awareness
Well, no proof. The thread has been deleted from RPF. I have no idea why. Probably because the lead developer wanted to hide.
All I have to say is his promise to me still stands that he would hold the coins and never spend them. I believe he is a stand up guy to even find me originally and give me some credit.
I didn't really make the post to prove it to anyone as I have none. Moreso, I was hoping one of the lead developers preferably Satoshi would see the post. He told me to come to this board if I ever wanted the coins. So, if anyone knows any of the lead developers please relay the message for me as I never had contact with them other than the thread I mentioned and some PM's with one of the lead developers. If I sought your praise, I would have showed up here over 4 years ago when I was asked. I'm glad I never did gauging from the majority of these posts.

it would really help your credibility to post some proof of your claims
why do you expect people to believe any of this?
not saying you're a liar but you are also not the first 'i am/know/met satoshi'

Everyone has ideas. Your idea to make a decentralized virtual currency is just like any other idea.
If my idea was to create a spaceship that can travel at light speed (a la Star Trek), it doesn't mean I invented it. Or how about a car that runs just on water? These ideas mean nothing.

The key words there was and ^Joking^
The post was very interesting, and a joy to read. My question would be this : Post the link in the blockchain where you received coins from the friend on that forum. Not that it would prove anything, but it will give more meat to the story.
I would stay clear of claiming to be the inventor of Bitcoin, it might just cost you a lot of money in future. ^HeH^

im a bit like litecoin guy i did not read the all speech but ok you have answers for bitcoin questions thats good i might think of this thread for the resileint anwsers that may not appear like the fact of bitcoin goes donw every december to raise again in february i guess its just the withdrawl to fiat for buy things for chrismas and the rush for fiat rises and the desire for bitcoins goes severly down they all sells and the price goes down
bump, free btc?
Very interesting and thanks for sharing. Here's the forum you were talking about and you still have your profile on there.

Can you mathematically explain the code below and it's relationship to profitability of a malicious attacker?
Thanks in advance Satoshi!
Thanks in advance Satoshi!
Code:
#include
double AttackerSuccessProbability(double q, int z)
{
double p = 1.0 - q;
double lambda = z * (q / p);
double sum = 1.0;
int i, k;
for (k = 0; k <= z; k++)
{
double poisson = exp(-lambda);
for (i = 1; i <= k; i++)
poisson *= lambda / i;
sum -= poisson * (1 - pow(q / p, z - k));
}
return sum;
}
double AttackerSuccessProbability(double q, int z)
{
double p = 1.0 - q;

sum -= poisson * (1 - pow(q / p, z - k));
}
return sum;
}

Your post doesn't look insane enough, OP. I recommend that you remove all spacing and formatting. Your credibility should then sky-rocket.

This is either an ellaborate troll (and by elaborate I mean unemployed, with a lot of time on his hands, or rich enough to waste time like this), or someone that forgot to take the schizophrenia pills. Either way, get well OP.

LOL. This is a perfect example of a cultist who swallowed the pill and later blames the pill's manufacturer for giving him diarrhea. The fool who followed the fool. There's this argument that Satoshi didn't do any of the "work", yet anyone who claims to have done the heavy lifting are implementing his very work. Kinda ignorant. Maybe they should have invented the Bitcoin protocol themselves, then they can talk.
