Thanks Hal for posting those links. They helped answer some questions I had concerning the origins of blocks. I'm still uncertain where the data for the coins themselves (non-transactional hashes) come from however. I'll keep reading.
I wonder what a bad article from Schneier would do to the exchange rate...
It would probably suffer in the short term, but after fixing his concerns, Bitcoin would be stronger and long-term exchange rates would probably be healthier. At this early stage of the project, I think attacks and criticism are just what we need.

Why would you assume it would be a "bad" article? I read his Applied Cryptography book back in the 90's. It's one of the reasons I got interested in cryptography.

There was some discussion on the cryptography mailing list two years ago (much of it poor quality unfortunately IMO):
I clicked through the thread but didn't see any from Schneier. It would be nice if he would mention it in his monthly newsletter. I'm kind of shocked he hasn't already.

Has Bruce Schneier ever commented on Bitcoin? I searched his website but didn't find anything.
I've never found any comments about it from Bruce. That's why he's my #1 candidate for being the real Satoshi Nakamoto
