Overflow bug, wallet was not properly encrypted until version 0.5. \item Satoshi ceases public communication December 2010 ; Gavin Andresen goes to CIA in June 2011. \item Mircea Popescu registers in WoT July 2011 , begins domination of Bitcoin Finance as scams are sunk. \item March 2013 Gavin and co create near fatal fork by drowning code in complexity. Triple down on stupidity by ``working'' to add more complexity, associating with fraudulent ``Bitcoin Foundation''. \item October 2013 computation power of Bitcoin network takes lead in doing most math of any human activity. \item Gavin and co attempt to rebrand their soft forks as ``Bitcoin Core'' , are re-branded by people in the know as ``Power Ranger Bitcoin'', a.k.a ``prb''. \item The Most Serene Republic of Bitcoin, a.k.a TMSR, La Serenissima, emerges. \item Bitcoin Lordship, i.e. high ranking members of the WoT, then signaling via \#bitcoin-assets IRC channel on \#freenode and blogs, establish The Real Bitcoin (therealbitcoin.org), a.k.a ``trb'', reference implementation free of Power Ranger softforks. Based on bitcoin-0.5.3. \end{itemize} \end{frame} %------------------------------------------------ \begin{frame} \frametitle{Currency and Information War} \begin{changemargin}{-1.5cm}{-1.5cm} \begin{block}{\textit{The Economic Consequences of the Peace}, John Meynard Keynes, 1919} \fontsize{9pt}{9pt}\selectfont ``Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the capitalist system is to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens. . . The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose.'' \end{block} \begin{block}{\textit{Gold and Economic Freedom}, Alan Greenspan, 1966} \fontsize{9pt}{9pt}\selectfont ``The financial policy of the welfare state requires that there be no way for the owners of wealth to protect themselves. This is the shabby secret of the welfare statists' tirades against gold. Deficit spending is simply a scheme for the confiscation of wealth. Gold stands in the way of this insidious process. It stands as a protector of property rights. If one grasps this, one has no difficulty in understanding the statists' antagonism toward the gold standard.'' \end{block} \begin{block}{Leon Trotsky} \fontsize{9pt}{9pt}\selectfont ``You may not be interested in war, but war is interested in you.'' \end{block} \end{changemargin} \end{frame} %------------------------------------------------ \begin{frame} \frametitle{The Hard Fork Missile Crisis} \fontsize{9pt}{9pt}\selectfont \begin{itemize} \item USGavin proposes forking Bitcoin to 20 MB blocks increasing every year thereafter. ``What do I need to say to convince you ?'', ``Many economists agree'', etc. is Gavin's typical approach to engaging people on the subject. \item Mircea Popescu explains how and why he will sink the forked coin in the marketplace. \item Upon fraudulent Bitcoin Foundation burning through donations, Gavin and Wladimir J. van der Laan join ``MIT Digital Currency Initiative'', directed by Brian Forde, Senior Advisor to Hussein Bahamas Admin. \item July 4, 2015 : BIP 66 softfork failure causes 5 block fork. Miners claimed to support the BIP, but didn't in practice. \item August 17, 2015 : An email from Satoshi's original email address is sent to the original Bitcoin mailing list criticizing Gavin and acknowledging original design did not consider pooled mining and split between miners and relays. \item August 21, 2015 : No Such lAbs releases V for Victory. \item December 2015 : Pieter Wuille (WoT : sipa) proposes the removal of signatures from Bitcoin transactions, Mircea Popescu issues a 1 BTC reward for a verifiable death certificate. \end{itemize} \end{frame} %------------------------------------------------ \begin{frame} \frametitle{No Such lAbs releases V for Victory} \begin{changemargin}{-0.5cm}{-0.5cm} \fontsize{8pt}{8pt}\selectfont ``The V-genesis patch is a most important milestone in the evolution of computer programming, from its troglodyte state prior to the involvement of The Most Serene Republic, towards its civilised state as you enjoy it today.\\~\ For the first time in the century or so of history of this particular human endeavour, text was deliberately structured with due consideration given not only to its meaning, but also to its source, and to its context. Prior attempts at structuring software, at first consisting of a naive approach focused on meaning only, over time added a half-hearted consideration of context, very unequally and rather haphazardly. The change the V-genesis introduced is exactly like the move from understanding and controlling movement in terms of mass and somewhat velocity, such as it occurs in the mind of a monkey throwing rocks, to understanding and controlling movement in terms of mass, impulse and energy, such as it occurs in the launching of satellites. The proposition that there is still room for improvement in the endless march of human thought, on this topic as on any other, is absolutely indubitable. The proposition that the sum total of what came before can be compared with this particular advance is strictly ridiculous. \\~\ Used together with specialised scripts, V-genesis allows an agent to reconstruct a complete Bitcoin tree, verify its correctness, and manage his investment of trust at all junctures so that he is never required to implicitly trust either an unknown code author, or a code snippet of unknown provenance.\\~\ There remains after today no alternative manner to deploy Bitcoin software, or indeed any software that is not a toy intended to be used by children playing, outside of this paradigm. May the switchover be bloody and painful in all the right places.'' - Mircea Popescu \end{changemargin} \end{frame} %------------------------------------------------ \begin{frame} \frametitle{TRB V-tree} \fontsize{7pt}{7pt}\selectfont \begin{itemize} \item genesis.vpatch (asciilifeform, ben\_vulpes, mircea\_popescu, mod6, trinque) \item bitcoin-asciilifeform.1.vpatch (asciilifeform, ben\_vulpes, mod6) \item rm\_rf\_upnp.vpatch (asciilifeform, ben\_vulpes, mod6) \item bitcoin-asciilifeform.3-turdmeister-alert-snip.vpatch (asciilifeform, ben\_vulpes, mod6) \item bitcoin-asciilifeform.2-https\_snipsnip.vpatch (asciilifeform, ben\_vulpes, mod6) \item bitcoin-asciilifeform.4-goodbye-win32.vpatch (asciilifeform, ben\_vulpes, mod6) \item asciilifeform\_dnsseed\_snipsnip.vpatch (asciilifeform, ben\_vulpes, mod6) \item asciilifeform\_zap\_hardcoded\_seeds.vpatch (asciilifeform, ben\_vulpes, mod6) \item asciilifeform-kills-integer-retardation.vpatch (asciilifeform, ben\_vulpes, mod6) \item asciilifeform\_zap\_showmyip\_crud.vpatch (asciilifeform, ben\_vulpes, mod6) \item asciilifeform\_dns\_thermonyukyoolar\_kleansing.vpatch (asciilifeform, ben\_vulpes, mod6) \item asciilifeform\_and\_now\_we\_have\_block\_dumper\_corrected.vpatch (asciilifeform, ben\_vulpes, mod6) \item mod6\_fix\_dumpblock\_params.vpatch (asciilifeform, ben\_vulpes, mod6) \item bitcoin-v0\_5\_3\_1-static\_makefile\_v002.8.vpatch (asciilifeform, ben\_vulpes, mod6) \item bitcoin-v0\_5\_3\_1-rev\_bump.7.vpatch (asciilifeform, ben\_vulpes, mod6) \item asciilifeform\_ver\_now\_5\_4\_and\_irc\_is\_gone\_and\_now\_must\_give\_ip.vpatch (asciilifeform, ben\_vulpes, mod6) \item asciilifeform\_orphanage\_thermonuke.vpatch (asciilifeform, ben\_vulpes, mod6) \item asciilifeform\_and\_now\_we\_have\_eatblock.vpatch (asciilifeform, ben\_vulpes, mod6) \item bitcoin-v0\_5\_3-db\_config.6.vpatch (asciilifeform, ben\_vulpes, mod6) \item asciilifeform\_tx-orphanage\_amputation.vpatch (asciilifeform, ben\_vulpes, mod6) \item asciilifeform\_maxint\_locks\_corrected.vpatch (asciilifeform, ben\_vulpes, mod6) \item asciilifeform\_lets\_lose\_testnet.vpatch (asciilifeform, ben\_vulpes, mod6) \item asciilifeform\_add\_verifyall\_option.vpatch (asciilifeform, ben\_vulpes, mod6) \item programmable-versionstring.vpatch (ben\_vulpes, mod6) \item mod6\_der\_high\_low\_s.vpatch (ben\_vulpes, mod6) \item malleus\_mikehearnificarum.vpatch (ben\_vulpes, mod6) \item makefiles.vpatch (ben\_vulpes, mod6, trinque) \item asciilifeform\_aggressive\_pushgetblocks.vpatch (asciilifeform, mod6) \item mod6\_phexdigit\_fix.vpatch (mod6) \item mod6\_excise\_hash\_truncation.vpatch (mod6) \item asciilifeform\_whogaveblox.vpatch (asciilifeform) \end{itemize} \end{frame} %------------------------------------------------ \begin{frame} \frametitle{2016-2017 Technology, Finance and Politics} \fontsize{9pt}{9pt}\selectfont \begin{itemize} \item MP publishes scheme to cure miner/node divide as the prerequisite for forking Bitcoin and increasing the blocksize to 2 MB.
