You can kinda see why Ray Dillinger has kept quiet all these years

Acabo de traducir otro artículo de los que considero, "reliquias" de la comunidad, esta vez de Ray Dillinger, un total desconocido para mí, hasta hoy, pero de una importantísima labor en los primeros momentos de la creación del software de Bitcoin, trabajando de la mano con Satoshi Nakamoto y Hal Finney a finales del 2008.

Me complace ver que no solo tenía los conocimientos, como para contribuir en el proyecto, sino los valores que siempre le he reconocido a los pioneros de la comunidad.

Como ya va siendo costumbre lo dejo en la blockchain por si acaso, je je je

Si hubiera sabido lo que estábamos empezando.

On p. 7 they write:

By the time he released the paper, he had already coded the entire system. In his own words, “I had to write all the code before I could convince myself that I could solve every problem, then I wrote the paper.” Based on historical estimates, Satoshi likely started formalizing the Bitcoin concept sometime in late 2006 and started coding around May 2007.

Worth pointing out that Hal Finney and Ray Dillinger — and likely several others – helped audit the code and paper before any of it was publicly released. https://www.ofnumbers.com/category/bitcoin/
