Topic: "Mike Hearn, a British computer programmer...." (Read 1423 times)

"banksters" for the most part only exist in your imagination and on the Alex Jones show.

(And if they do exist, they putting senators in their pocket, not programmers of open source projects.)

There is enough brainpower in the BTC pool to solve current problems.

We've had 'bitcoin is dead' stories before. (Like 86 times, i lost count) These stories seem to surface just before bitcoin surges in popularity and value.

As previously, this is a propaganda attack on bitcoin. The only thing threatened by bitcoin is the ''monopoly'' of the big banks.
It's their power and their resources which has been targeted against bitcoin. Probably it's the threats and/or bribery of the banksters that have lead to Mike Hearn's attack.

I strongly suspect that it's because bitcoin has been showing signs of steady growth that this attack is being launched against it. The point of course is to shake confidence in the currency and slow down it's growth.

We don't know the circumstances behind Mike Hearn's actions. Maybe the banksters have bribed him ore the banksters have threatened him (or his family) Ore he's just going through a rough emotional time.

yep, but dont tell the americans.. they will either try to suggest satoshi is american and their saviour or say he is chinese and no longer relevant.. but will never admit that satoshi is british

Isn't the message from the Times in the genesis block an indication that Satoshi is probably British? What's the OP doing registering for a forum started by a British programmer that's all about the revolutionary software he wrote? Why did Satoshi use British spelling, not American spelling, because he's probably British?

I stopped reading right there. There is no such thing as a "British computer programmer". There are British people who imagine they could program computers. There are British people who write about computer programming as though they could do it in an imaginary world. There are British people who write about actual American computer programmers. And there are probably some British people who peck at keyboards in a futile attempt to write a computer program (and then after writing one page of code they give up and write a novel about their experiences as a "computer programmer").

Well, I AM a programmer, an AMERICAN living in AMERICA where real programming was invented and where Apple, IBM, Microsoft, Google, Oracle, Intel and every other top software and computer hardware company actually exists, not in a novel, but in real life.

What this prick reminds me of in no particular order:

Edsger W. Dijkstra, a pompous, self-important pendant paid by the Dutch government to write pompous papers about trivial algorithms Americans had already discovered and who probably wrote less than 200 lines of code in his whole life

SAP - the software originally written by American programming genius Robert Adams which was subsequently turned into the most unfunctional piece of bloatware in the world over the course of decades by a bunch of pompous German non-programming theorists and now serves, as far as I can see, to primarily allow large companies to pay $500 million a year so that they can use buzzwords like "service oriented architecture" in their annual reports.

Piers Morgan

Hugh Pickens, the British blogger who tries to inject his obnoxious socialist agenda into every technology subject he can think of, then pollute Slashdot with it

David Cameron after a lobotomy

the NATS computer system

Acorn Computer, the most defective and unusable piece of computer hardware ever invented which sat completely unused in some 100,000 schools in the UK and is now the subject of a bizarre Stalinesque conspiracy by British journalists to write it up as though "a generation of schoolkids grew up learning to program on it" which is a complete lie

the British guy I interviewed for a developer job who had a "Masters Degree in Computer Science" from the University of Leeds and scored 0 out of 10 on a written basic skills quiz with questions like "Convert the number 57 to hexadecimal"

every single British jerkoff who comes here telling us to how to run our country


You would think after the American Revolution these British assholes would get the message: GET YOUR BODY THE HELL OUT OF OUR COUNTRY, YOUR FINGERS OUT OF OUR FORUMS, AND YOUR MOUTHS OUT OF OUR NEWSMEDIA and STOP TRYING TO ACT LIKE YOU KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT OUR TECHNOLOGY

Probably but now China is in control...

Mike Hearn says Bitcoin has failed

meanwhile goes of to make his own blockchain

Wait did OP just say that Bitcoin is an American Technology? Satoshi Nakamoto is probably an Asian-American math teacher from Austin, Texas.
