Topic: Who are Bitcoin's Unsung Heroes? (Read 586 times)
of course many people will choose finney and i think he is a rare human who run and do bitcoin mining after satoshi which at that time bitcoin had no price and many people thought bitcoin was useless but hal finney continued to develop bitcoin and he had different beliefs with people another if bitcoin will be able to change the future of the world.
Then he teamed up with Mike Hearn, AKA Rage quiter ( Bitcoin developer and former senior software engineer at Google ) and they tried a hostile takeover of the Bitcoin development and when that failed, they forced a fork that almost split the Bitcoin community.
Let's not honor some of the villains (Mike Hearn) of this experiment, because the damage that they have done, might be more than the contributions that they have done.
What? I love Mike Hearn/s, he is the reason why I received a 35% discount back in 2016 and could buy bitcoin at $350 and not at nearly $600, it sounds funny now saying $350 as if it is ancient history Let's not honor some of the villains (Mike Hearn) of this experiment, because the damage that they have done, might be more than the contributions that they have done.
That also looks like bitcoin has a "thing" for number 3 whether it is $300 or $3000 or $30000, it is the bottom that it drops to after a big FUD. Every year it touches it (as the bottom) someone seems to be responsible for that FUD too.
Let's not forget that some of the people that were heroes back then, turned into villains.... Let's take Gavin Andresen as an example.. He was the Lead developer for Bitcoin at one stage and Satoshi's successor, but after he spoke to the 3Letter Agency, Satoshi disappeared from the scene. (Gavin also had one of the first Bitcoin faucets...which paid between 1 to 5 bitcoins per person) 
Then he teamed up with Mike Hearn, AKA Rage quiter ( Bitcoin developer and former senior software engineer at Google ) and they tried a hostile takeover of the Bitcoin development and when that failed, they forced a fork that almost split the Bitcoin community.

When it comes to bitcoin, I think of Satoshi first. I'm sorry that I didn't know about the other early participants (now I know some of them).
He is the publisher of bitcoin white paper. We should be grateful to other people who silently contribute to bitcoin, because with them, bitcoin will develop better and better.
Are you stupid or something, OP clearly said the unsung ones meaning that the people that were on the backstage doing the grunt work. Yes you are right but you are off the topic. I think we as users of bitcoin should be part of this unsung ones because we are the lifeblood of the market. He is the publisher of bitcoin white paper. We should be grateful to other people who silently contribute to bitcoin, because with them, bitcoin will develop better and better.

Everyone who has struggled from the beginning in bitcoin, and introduced bitcoin to us, I think they are all heroes without merit, we know Satoshi Nakatomo is the person who introduced bitcoin to us, and there are many other names behind sathoshi, whose identity is still hidden until now, I salute the hero who has contributed to bitcoin ..
Napoleon - he invented central bank to finance the Napoleonic wars.
That's highly oversimplified, to the extent where it gets misleading.Fiat money, like many innovative concepts, has no single, definitive inventor and/or starting point.
There's a continuum of innovation from IOUs over paper money to modern fiat.
Wikipedia lists ca. 10th to 11th century china's paper money as a starting point, but even that's a little arbitrary, of course.
So, with all due respect, Napoleon deserves no merit as an unsung hero of Bitcoin
I wonder if these unsung heroes in bitcoin's era are also given their proper reward for their contribution to the development of bitcoin. Way back before, I highly think that satoshi alone created bitcoin, thinking that blockchain already exists but no, Satoshi together with these people helped the whole world to have a currency that solves most of the problem and inconveniency that fiat currency is providing people for a long time. I believe, they still continue working in relation to how to better increase the efficiency of bitcoin and I hope soon, I could also contribute to its growth.
of course there were other developers who created a platform for Satoshi to create Bitcoin, Hal Finney and Nick Szabo, obviously they contributed to Bitcoin as well as being involved in developing a digital currency on the lead up to Bitcoin.
I also chose finney because he was one of the first people to show genuine interest in Satoshi Nakamoto's cash proposal, and Finney is also very likely to be the first person besides Satoshi to run bitcoin if we look at the contents of his Twitter tweets.
We are finding some great people reading these messages. Thanks to everyone for their contributions thus far!
Exactly! Who specifically are you referring too?
I am glad someone has taken the time to acknowledge some folks who really help in the growth and development of bitcoin. For instance there was this guy who discovered the first bitcoin hack which led to they having a another chain. If not for this guy i believe this huge dream of Satoshi Nakamoto might have never been a reality.

Being an early investor is an opportunity. Those living in this situation may have become very rich now. But there is more. Bitcoin price was evaluated 1000 times. When it increases 10 times, it wants a great foresight not to sell.
Many time after investing with bitcoin price increase down more than 10% from bitcoin price usually, never use your world for new investor with bitcoin and altcoin could increase their investing faster because we not prediction when bitcoin have higher and cheap price, but just said the real situation with bitcoin price where been in higher and lower price. 
Napoleon - he invented central bank to finance the Napoleonic wars. Without central banks, there wouldn't be fiat currencies, and without fiat currencies, there wouldn't be Bitcoin.
im breaking the rules.im just mentioning one name. and not explaining why. because the name itself should make it obvious of their involvement

Hal Finney was one of the first ever people to show genuine interest in Satoshi Nakamoto’s peer-to-peer cash proposal, noting that “When Satoshi announced Bitcoin on the cryptography mailing list, he got a skeptical reception at best. Cryptographers have seen too many grand schemes by clueless noobs. I was more positive.” He was also probably the first person other than Satoshi to run bitcoin. Real-life distance runner Hal tweeted famously all the way back in January 2009: “Running bitcoinhal finney

I have heard his name several times, but I just understood that he is very meritorious in the world of Bitcoin. He was truly the first unsung hero to believe in Satoshi's technology. What is clear is that this man is extraordinary in the eyes of many crypto people.
and notably the first person to receive Bitcoins from Satoshi!

Agreed. While not code, would add bitboy. The logo was a fundamental marketing masterpiece for Bitcoin adoption.
This logo went into unicode in 2017, quite the achievement! I don't think any altcoin managed to push theirs there.
Speaking of which, if you still cannot see it, you have to update your unicode fonts (Try Google's NOTO): ₿

Bitcoin has many enthusiasts who helped it to become what it is today. They were very devoted to their goal and without that strong community Bitcoin wouldn't achieve success. They are all over the world and are contributing in many different ways so it's very hard to name just a few or to make some list. Also, many of them would stay anonimous.
Didn't know there are numerous people behind the bitcoin development.
Anyway, are these people still active in the development or just some? Who are still alive at the moment?
Should be thankful with these unsung heroes 'cause without them bitcoin wouldn't innovate this far. Such a genius.
by using bitcoin we actually have a lot of respect for them, so I think by using bitcoin we are already thankful for the technology they are fighting for even though not many still survive for these people, and some are still anonymous so far. Anyway, are these people still active in the development or just some? Who are still alive at the moment?

leave them alone, they can be targeted for various reasons.
This is merely to turn the tables that it is satoshi that mostly created the best cryptocurrency in the world but in fact, he was helped by numerous people that is working for free in order to develop a revolutionary cryptocurrency. I just know before about Gavin, who is considerably the bitcoin scientist until I found the github link of bitcoin. Where I see numerous people still continue to contribute to the development of bitcoin, and how it could possible be implemented in more various platforms and also to make bitcoin faster than ever.
since you are asking about contribution to bitcoin not bitcoin core, i say one of the biggest contributions that is missed here is by Thomas Voegtlin back in 2011 when he started a new project that is helping a huge number of users to this day by making it easy for them to use bitcoin in a secure manner when they can not run a full node. the project name was Electrum.
p.s. you already broke your own rule, a lot of the names in your list weren't even around back in 2012...

Now how do you suppose @OP will integrate Hal Finney into their project, considering the fact that he died more than half a decade ago?
Very good points by everyone. We're actually just trying to find some hidden stories from the very early days of Bitcoin that are personal to members of this community. Ones that people feel deserve more merit, or have been forgotten about due to dead links or deleted profiles. When people are this passionate about a new movement like Bitcoin it's nice to find out thing's that no one else in the community knows, or something no news articles have ever touched on.
Like, who gave Bitcoin's first ever public review on sourceforge? Mats Henricson - https://twitter.com/matshenricson via sourceforge
Or how about the fact this isn't Facebook's first attempt at a digital currency? They tried in 2009.
https://twitter.com/theproseccoshop/status/3424482762
Everyone has heard of Satoshi, most have heard of Gavin Andresen. Jeff Garzik, Pieter Wuille and other early contributors are well known to the core community, but we're looking for other early contributors that have almost been forgotten about. From bug reports, to critical updates to community rallying that got Bitcoin in-front of the right eyes.
Successful Free and Open Source projects always have a large list of contributors, often "unsung". Such is also the case of Linux, the kernel of an operating system most people use and don't even know (in Android). In the 11th year of Bitcoin, we should be thankful.
I guess it would be objective to see Bitcoin's source contribution, but often small ideas and discussion doesn't make it in line code count (especially when some optimization actually reduces it).
How about the other projects, Do you even know who wrote cgminer? In the Free and Open Source ecosystem, everyone builds on top of the shoulder of others, it is the way it should be, the only way to achieve progress. Proprietary closed software are evolutionary dead ends.

It seems like it was inevitable that Satoshi and Hal would end up on the
same project from his wiki bio for example,
Finney was a noted cryptographic activist.[5] During the early 1990s, in addition to being a regular poster on the cypherpunks listserv, Finney ran two anonymous remailers.[6] Further cryptographic activism included running a (successful) contest to break the export-grade encryption Netscape used.[7]

This community is the very foundation of Blockchain and Bitcoin.
Don't worry chaoscoinz, our current list has been created from GitHub contributions only we are starting this thread to find the more hidden aspects of the bitcointalk community - where everything really started
Without community support, there would be nothing!
There really must be some grave mistake, because I don't see Theymos or other important admin on the list. Not to be a kiss ass, but this community is the very foundation of Blockchain and Bitcoin. From here many things came into being, so many projects, so many opportunities for earning extra income. In order to be a community there must be a common vision, the ability to agree to disagree. An infrastructure where the commonality that we share is an equal responsibility to share, uplift, and correct the mistakes as we progress further.
This forum is an awesome community, the core members are very active and their voices are often heard as the infrastructure of the forum is always changing, usually with new policies to help police the chaos that ensues. The merit system is a good example of good policing, collectively agreed upon in order to improve and keep a steady foundation here. When I first started posting here I was ignorant and participated in some of the "Tom foolery" of being a newbie. With help from the community I have learned a whole lot and now try to practice my due diligence with each post so I don't contribute negatively here on the forum.
I know developers deserve all the praise and glory, but what about the pillars of our very own community? If the forum were to just vanish one-day out of the blue, how much of an impact do you think it would really have on the Bitcoin scene, especially for those who find employment here (myself included)?
I feel that the many crypto heros here are going unsung
Just my two cents

many people have been instrumental in growing and developing bitcoin so far, but maybe what we know better is Satoshi Nakamoto alone. with this information people will know that there are still many people who have services that are not much different from Satoshi Nakamoto and we must thank them, without them maybe the growth of Bitcoin would not be like it is today

We are trying to compile a list of developers and community members that have contributed a lot to Bitcoin so we can integrate them into an upcoming project. In order to help with this we are making this thread to try and uncover some of the more hidden stories in the Bitcoin community, to help give the people behind them their place in history and the recognition they deserve.
No matter how small an action, it may have still had an impact equally as great.
The rules are simple:
We especially want to know about them if they are developers that are not on our current list, compiled based on github contributions and early bug reports. However this list just goes of commit history, and fails to give credit to those behind the ideas, reports and smaller code contributions.
Who sent the first bug reports? https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues?page=176&q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aclosed
Who pushed the first releases? https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/releases?after=v0.2.7
Who was first to discover major attacks? https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/strange-block-74638-822
Who kept momentum and left the first reviews? https://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/reviews?offset=91#reviews
Our current unranked list: https://aricoinpay.com/developers (will be updated based on info gathered in this thread)
