Hey I am a journalist working on a BTC-e story.

Do you have any evidence that Alexey Demidov (Balthazar) was the technical founder?

Please LMK

Thanks colbee,
litecoin is using script which is different then bitcoins.
This difference does what? are their advantages to each?
Forgive me, im so not a computer engineer. colbee, why do you think satoshi did not use script?
sha256 hash is 1000x faster and therefore ____? Better then script  for ____? Thank you.

Good that you said that you don't understand Litecoin at all.
It has a small difficulty because it use the Scrypt, and not the SHA256 method.

The small difficulty is actually a result of the faster block generation algorithm.  Actual difficulty in terms of number of trailing zeroes for the block header hash is different.

Not quite. The small difficulty is because it takes longer to produce each scrypt hash when compared to Bitcoin's sha256 hash. It's about 1000x difference when you compare the same GPU mining bitcoins and litecoins. So a 500 mhashs/s network hashrate is about equivalent to 500 ghashs/s for Bitcoin.

If Satoshi was the first one to mine... at first he was the Network! Damn, that sounds like Matrix Cheesy.
So his hash rate, no matter what if was.. was the total power of the network. And of course, the diff would be according to the hash rate.

I didn't want to sound certain about Satoshi premining 2.1m, but hey, would be interesting to see where such a discution would lead.

Centralization = Power = Broken Code = Corruption = Fail = Scam

bitcoin -Maybe by satoshi

litecoin - Not to my knowledge. but the difficulty is so low it could be cracked and centralized

Rucoin - Openly acknowledged to be centralized

what are some more / corrections to my list?

In the first few blocks there wasn't a miner for GPU if I can read well.

Like Satoshi didn't premine a buttload of coinage(2.1mil?)

The difference is he deserves them.
'
I read somewhere it took a couple of days for him to mine the first few blocks...  he did not have a gpu after all.

where do you get 2.1M  ?  i call BS

Interesting...
I heard something about he keeping 10%, not for profit, just to have power if some malevolent organization/government tried to harm the btc economy.

Satoshi announced the existence of the bitcoin network and the availability of his software on the day he started it, on a cryptography mailing list. The first block is dated from january 3rd, 2009. In order to determine its hash, the first block uses a newspaper title from that same day, which proves that the date was not faked.


So no.

I premined 100 ltc. I want to think that I deserved them too. That's worth about $7. I think I might go buy myself a couple smoothies! :p

This is probably the funniest post I've read in a while hahaha!

I need me a smoothie...for realz!
