This field is chock full of people using terms incorrectly, defining new words for things that already had well known names, overloading terms already in use. E.g. shard vs partition. TUI which already meant "telephony user interface &

Shouldn't the price therefore go down? (Bitcoin should be an instrument the price of which correlates with the cost of the energy required to make new ones).

I've yet to see any justification (not even a bogus one) for why the pardon power needs to exist in the modern world. It seems to have been invented originally as a counterbalance against corrupt or crazy judges. We have other ways to

Um ok, but the "setting the name to any string" is not the real problem, which is that an attacker had the ability to write to the repository at all, regardless of the name they choose, no? As I mentioned below, another mitigation

I believe what it destroyed was the strut holding the booster to the tank. When the strut burned through the assembly came apart and aerodynamic forces did the remainder of the destruction.

It's been extremely widely known that whoever created Bitcoin had a strong interest in Hashcash, and perhaps created that or worked on it, for years and years. If that's the only smoking gun, why didn't we identify Satoshi lo
