Wei Dai is another relevant person, with his b-money ideas and bitcoin's use of the crypto++ library. But who cares?

Wei Dai is another relevant person, with his b-money ideas and bitcoin's use of the crypto++ library.
But who cares?
- clarkm 13y agoWell, Wei Dai and b-money are cited in Satoshi's original white paper.
- gwern 13y agoOnly because someone else pointed out to Satoshi that he should cite them.
- clarkm 13y agoI know Adam Back introduced Satoshi to b-money, but (correct me if I'm wrong) this was back before Satoshi had formalized his ideas. When he first posted the paper to metzdowd's cryptography list, the b-money citation was there.
- gwern 13y agoIsn't that pretty much the same thing? Satoshi didn't mention Wei Dai until Adam pointed him out to him.
