The first thing I notice is quite remarkable, this is a cryptocurrency inspired by a science fiction novel??
It all comes full circle with Cryptocurrency first being described in Cryptonomicon.
Haven't had a chance to dig through all its claims.
- jdormit 9y ago> Cryptocurrency first being described in Cryptonomicon Really? That's crazy! I always thought that Stephenson had heard early ideas about cryptocurrencies and incorporated them into his book. Are you saying the Neil Stephenson invented the concept of a cryptocurrency?
- JustSomeNobody 9y agoIt seems like you know the answer and you're being passive-aggressive about it. Are you thinking the OP doesn't know about David Chaum?
- Kinnard 9y agoI know about Chaum, but I was off on when Cryptonomicon was written.
- keymone 9y agoiirc cryptocurrency was never described in cryptonomicon, internet-based gold-backed currency was.
