Die besten Bitcoin Zitate

Eine Auswahl der besten Bitcoin Zitate von Erfinder Satoshi Nakamoto, bis hin zu Hal Finney, Michael Saylor uvm.

Satoshi Nakamoto

Genesis

So fing alles an. Satoshi hat in den ersten Block (Genesis) der Timechain eine Botschaft verewigt und eine neue Ära des Geldes eingeleitet.

Die Nachricht ist eine Überschrift eines damaligen Artikels der Times über eine mögliche Rettungsaktion für Banken im Vereinigten Königreich.

The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks.

The blockchain

Die Zentralbanken sind Teil des Problems

Satoshi Nakamoto verstand, was die Wurzel allen Übels war.

The root problem with conventional currency is all the trust that’s required to make it work. The central bank must be trusted not to debase the currency, but the history of fiat currencies is full of breaches of that trust. Banks must be trusted to hold our money and transfer it electronically, but they lend it out in waves of credit bubbles with barely a fraction in reserve. We have to trust them with our privacy, trust them not to let identity thieves drain our accounts.

Glaub mir, mein Sohn

Satoshis Antwort auf die Aussage des Gründers von Bitshare, dass wir „Peer-Banken“ für schnelle Transaktionen brauchen.

If you don’t believe it or don’t get it, I don’t have the time to try to convince you, sorry.

 Scalability and transaction rate

Der einzige

Satoshi verstand die Bedeutung einer einzigen Protokollimplementierung, lange bevor feindliche Übernahmen wie XT, „Classic“ und Bitcoin Unlimited stattfanden.

The nature of Bitcoin is such that once version 0.1 was released, the core design was set in stone for the rest of its lifetime

I don’t believe a second, compatible implementation of Bitcoin will ever be a good idea.  So much of the design depends on all nodes getting exactly identical results in lockstep that a second implementation would be a menace to the network.

Dezentral = besser

Satoshi darüber, warum er glaubt, dass Bitcoin weniger wahrscheinlich scheitert als seine Vorgänger.

A lot of people automatically dismiss e-currency as a lost cause because of all the companies that failed since the 1990’s. I hope it’s obvious it was only the centrally controlled nature of those systems that doomed them. I think this is the first time we’re trying a decentralized, non-trust-based system.

Fehler? Welche Fehler?

Die Anfänge von Bitcoin waren aus Programmiersicht ein ziemliches Chaos.

We’re managing pretty well just using the forum.  I’m more likely to see bugs posted in the forum, and I think other users are much more likely to help resolve and ask follow up questions here than if they were in a bug tracker.  A key step is other users helping resolve the simple stuff that’s not really a bug but some misunderstanding or confusion.
I keep a list of all unresolved bugs I’ve seen on the forum.  In some cases, I’m still thinking about the best design for the fix.  This isn’t the kind of software where we can leave so many unresolved bugs that we need a tracker for them.

Bug? /usr/bin/bitcoind

Keine Sorge, Bitcoins Kryptography ist stark

Satoshi über die Sicherheit der gewählten kryptografischen Funktion. Übrigens wurde SHA1 bereits von Google geknackt.

SHA-256 is very strong.  It’s not like the incremental step from MD5 to SHA1.  It can last several decades unless there’s some massive breakthrough attack.

Dealing with SHA-256 Collisions

Proof-of-work

Mit Bitcoin ist kein Vertrauen erforderlich. „Vertrauenslosigkeit“ ist eine der größten Eigenschaften von Bitcoin.

Proof-of-work has the nice property that it can be relayed through untrusted middlemen.  We don’t have to worry about a chain of custody of communication.  It doesn’t matter who tells you a longest chain, the proof-of-work speaks for itself.

Bitcoin minting is thermodynamically perverse

Tote Bitcoins sind gute Bitcoins

Wenn Sie ein Passwort für Ihre Brieftasche vergessen, sind Ihre Bitcoins für immer verloren. Was alle anderen ein bisschen reicher macht.

Lost coins only make everyone else’s coins worth slightly more.  Think of it as a donation to everyone.

Dying bitcoins

Regierungen haben keine Chance gegen P2P

P2P gibt den Menschen ihre Freiheit zurück. Satoshi versteht die Auswirkungen der Dezentralisierung und ihrer Macht gegen zentralisierte Gewaltmonopole = Regierungen.

Yes, [we will not find a solution to political problems in cryptography,] but we can win a major battle in the arms race and gain a new territory of freedom for several years.
Governments are good at cutting off the heads of a centrally controlled networks like Napster, but pure P2P networks like Gnutella and Tor seem to be holding their own.

Satoshi on ehm… Porn?

Kein Kommentar.

Bitcoin would be convenient for people who don’t have a credit card or don’t want to use the cards they have, either don’t want the spouse to see it on the bill or don’t trust giving their number to “porn guys”, or afraid of recurring billing.

Porn

Entweder oder!

Bitcoin wird Erfolg haben oder nicht. Es gibt keine 3. Option.

Right.  Otherwise we couldn’t have a finite limit of 21 million coins, because there would always need to be some minimum reward for generating.  In a few decades when the reward gets too small, the transaction fee will become the main compensation for [mining] nodes.   I’m sure that in 20 years there will either be very large transaction volume or no volume.

What’s with this odd generation?

Niemals löschen

Satoshi ist frustriert darüber, dass ein Benutzer, der seine Wallet gelöscht hat, den Zugriff auf seine Bitcoins verliert.

Sigh… why delete a wallet instead of moving it aside and keeping the old copy just in case?  You should never delete a wallet.

Version 0.3.13, please upgrade

Bitcoin privacy

Bitcoin-Transaktionen sind pseudonym, aber wenn Sie diese einfache Regel nicht befolgen, kann Ihre Identität preisgegeben werden.

The possibility to be anonymous or pseudonymous relies on you not revealing any identifying information about yourself in connection with the bitcoin addresses you use.   If you post your bitcoin address on the web, then you’re associating that address and any transactions with it with the name you posted under.  If you posted under a handle that you haven’t associated with your real identity, then you’re still pseudonymous.
For greater privacy, it’s best to use bitcoin addresses only once.

How anonymous are bitcoins?

Warte… immer WARTEN!

0/unbestätigte Transaktionen sind bei Händlerzahlungen ziemlich üblich. Sie sind jedoch nicht sehr sicher, da sie leicht doppelt ausgegeben werden können, was bedeutet, dass ein Anbieter Geld verliert.

As you figured out, the root problem is we shouldn’t be counting or spending transactions until they have at least 1 confirmation.  0/unconfirmed transactions are very much second class citizens.  At most, they are advice that something has been received, but counting them as balance or spending them is premature.

I broke my wallet, sends never confirm now.

Bitcoin’s Vorrat

Satoshi erklärt die feste Versorgung und Verteilung von Coins.

As computers get faster and the total computing power applied to creating bitcoins increases, the difficulty increases proportionally to keep the total new production constant. Thus, it is known in advance how many new bitcoins will be created every year in the future.

Coins have to get initially distributed somehow, and a constant rate seems like the best formula.

Bloody hell

Durch die Wahl bestimmter Wörter wird angenommen, dass Satoshi Brite ist. Wie auch immer, er war nicht in der Lage, eine Bitcoin-Beschreibung für allgemeine Leute zu finden.

Sorry to be a wet blanket.   Writing a description for this thing for general audiences is bloody hard.   There’s nothing to relate it to.

Slashdot Submission for 1.0

Generiere alles was du willst

Wie bereits erwähnt, sollten Wallet-Adressen nicht wiederverwendet werden. Ressourcen spielen in diesem speziellen Fall keine Rolle, also “generiere alles, was du willst”.

When you generate a new bitcoin address, it only takes disk space on your own computer (like 500 bytes).  It’s like generating a new PGP private key, but less CPU intensive because it’s ECC.  The address space is effectively unlimited.  It doesn’t hurt anyone, so generate all you want.

Could the bitcoin network be destroyed by someone generating endless bitcoin add

Nodes haben das letzte Wort?

Die Sicherheit von Bitcoin liegt sowohl im Arbeitsnachweis der Bergleute als auch in der vollständigen Validierung der Knoten. Wenn ein Miner versucht, das Netzwerk anzugreifen, wird er von Full Nodes gestoppt, die seine ungültigen Blöcke zurückweisen.

Diese Tatsache wird in der Skalierungsdebatte immer vergessen, wenn es um Hard Forks geht. Miner entscheiden nicht über Hard Forks, Nodes schon.

We consider the scenario of an attacker trying to generate an alternate chain faster than the honest chain. Even if this is accomplished, it does not throw the system open to arbitrary changes, such as creating value out of thin air or taking money that never belonged to the attacker. Nodes are not going to accept an invalid transaction as payment, and honest nodes will never accept a block containing them. An attacker can only try to change one of his own transactions to take back money he recently spent.

In crypto we trust

Ein kryptografischer Beweis ist das Einzige, dem wir bei Bitcoin vertrauen müssen.

With e-currency based on cryptographic proof, without the need to trust a third party middleman, money can be secure and transactions effortless.

Don’t spam

Satoshi befasst sich mit Flutangriffen und Mikrozahlungen.

Bitcoin isn’t currently practical for very small micropayments.  Not for things like pay per search or per page view without an aggregating mechanism, not things needing to pay less than 0.01.  The dust spam limit is a first try at intentionally trying to prevent overly small micropayments like that.

Hal Finney

running bitcoin

Hal Finney

The computer can be used as a tool to liberate and protect people, rather than to control them.

Hal Finney

Since we’re all rich with bitcoins … we ought to put some of this unearned wealth to good use.

Hal Finney

Bitcoin seems to be a very promising idea. I like the idea of basing security on the assumption that the CPU power of honest participants outweighs that of the attacker. It is a very modern notion that exploits the power of the long tail.

Hal Finney

Julian Assange

It’s probably the most interesting intellectual development on the internet in the last five years

Julian Assange

Bitcoin underlying technology breaks Orwell’s dictum it breaks Orwell’s dictum by providing proof of publishing at a certain time and that is the intellectual underpinning of that whole system and can be used for lots of other things and so that’s the big expansion we’re about to see in bitcoin all derives from this basic premise that you can prove that a particular statement a particular consensus a particular contract happened at a particular time globally

Julian Assange

John McAfee

As people move into Bitcoin for payments and receipts they stop using US Dollars, Euros and Chinese Yuan which in the long-term devalues these currencies.

John McAfee

You can’t stop things like Bitcoin. It will be everywhere and the world will have to readjust. World governments will have to readjust.

John McAfee

Michael Saylor

Bitcoin is an asset, not a commodity. Commodities are abundant and should be traded. Assets are scarce and should be owned. Pure monetary energy is the ideal treasury reserve asset, and for the first time in history, we can now own some.

Michael Saylor

Bitcoin is a swarm of cyber hornets serving the goddess of wisdom, feeding on the fire of truth, exponentially growing ever smarter, faster, and stronger behind a wall of encrypted energy.

Michael Saylor

Imagine a world where everyone used something fair & equitable to settle their economic differences.

Michael Saylor

For the first time in history, we have a software network capable of storing & channeling monetary energy without power loss. Bitcoin is the first digital monetary network. As investors & enterprises come to realize this, the consequences will be profound.

Michael Saylor

Jack Dorsey

Bitcoin is for everyone

Jack Dorsey

What really drove my thinking and drives my passion behind it is, if the internet has a chance to get a native currency, what would that be? To me, it’s bitcoin because of those principles, because of its resilience,

Jack Dorsey

what inspires me the most [about bitcoin] is the community driving it…. It reminds me of the early internet.

Jack Dorsey

Max Keiser

Bitcoin is the currency of resistance… If Satoshi had released Bitcoin 10 years. earlier, 9/11 would never have happened.
