Looking again, he _mentions_ what he told his children, but it's written on Bitcoin Talk. > "My bitcoins are stored in our safe deposit box, and my son and daughter are tech savvy. I think they're safe enough. I'm comfortable with my legacy." [0] It doesn't invalidate that he created Bitcoin, but what he wrote over the years sounds much more like a devoted hobbyist who was far from extremely wealthy, for example... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

Https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1790.msg28917#msg28917 You can see here in one of Satoshi's last posts that he envisaged that bitcoin users would likely prefer to keep the block size small, and why. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

It's not unheard of for funds to be missent to an address that was in the senders clipboard for some other reason, though the amount is more remarkable. It's also not particularly remarkable to send small amounts to that address-- its been done many times-- and it's not unheard of for people to make errors in the amounts they pay. Elsewhere I've advanced a couple more complex theories which probably fail occam's... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

> odyssey is a custom blockchain project built from scratch in Rust. It aims to provide a simple and educational example of how a blockchain operates and its fundamental components. Reminds me of Grin, another blockchain project built from scratch in Rust, focussing on simplicity [1].

The only way I can foresee a cryptocoin actually holding value is if spending the coin meant spending processing cycles and RAM doing things like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_volunteer_computing_projects But in more general sense, less like https://boinc.berkeley.edu/ and more like AWS... It's the only way to have value, actually holding computing power in a distributed network. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

The BOINC Census is back for another year! BOINC is an open source software and network for volunteer computing. People can use it do donate their CPU/GPU power to various scientific research areas like cancer, drug discovery, mapping the galaxy, and more. Source: 7 months ago

A few years back, I was in a similar situation and found BOINC(https://boinc.berkeley.edu/) to be a great way to contribute. It's a platform that lets you support various scientific research projects by sharing your computational power and bandwidth. However, it's worth noting that BOINC might tends to be more CPU/GPU intensive rather than bandwidth-heavy. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago
