    I'm so far outside the cryptocurrency scene that this reads like science fiction to me.

    I looked up http://www.delphiforfun.org which I visited regularly in my teens and early 20s and I noticed that it stopped updating in 2018. After a bit of googling I sadly found the obituary for Gary Darby, the site’s creator. H

    I live in rural Ireland and I remember a family friend came back from the US and gave us a shareware CD-ROM with 1000 DOS games on it. This was the mid 90s before we had internet. We had just fitted a sound blaster card and a CD-Rom, I fill

    All of the code was written in BlueJ in 2013-2014, I have no idea if the versions of BlueJ in use at the time had the parenthesis matching feature.
