From mid-2010 until April-2014, Gavin Andresen maintained control of the Bitcoin Core GitHub repository and was considered Bitcoin’s lead developer. On April 8, 2014, Andresen stepped down and van der Laan agreed to take over as Lead Maintainer of the Bitcoin repo. His salary is paid by MIT’s Digital Currency Initiative, where he works on Bitcoin development with Andresen and Cory Fields

"No estaba seguro, y todavía no estoy seguro de cómo está involucrado Gavin en esto. Ya no es probable que haya sido hackeado, pero al menos está confundido. Cuando vimos la publicación del blog convencido de que encontró a Satoshi, lo más prudente era revocar su propiedad de la organización "bitcoin" en github, bajo la cual se encuentra el repositorio de Bitcoin Core de inmediato".

Es probable que lleves poco tiempo en la comunidad cripto y no conozcas bien a Gavin Andresen, a quien Satoshi dejo a cargo del desarrollo del software, cuando se retiró allá por el 2011, creo, te podrán contar muchas cosas de él pero ésta imagen en su propia casa en el minuto 22 de la película The Rise and Rise of bitcoin, es algo que no le he visto hacer a ningún miembro relevante de la comunidad, la naturalidad y transparencia con la que enseña el lugar donde vive es algo que para mi lo convierte en ÚNICO , su franqueza y esfuerzo por explicar ésta tecnología lo hacen un símbolo de lo que le escuché decir muchas veces en esa época y que rara vez escucho ahora: "Bitcoin ha venido, para hacer un mundo mejor"

Recuerda minuto 22

'Bitcoin creator': I do not have the courage

"On Monday, the BBC gave extensive coverage to Craig Wright's claims that he is Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin. The following day, as many in the cryptographic community tore into his claims, he promised further "extraordinary proof".

But in the last 24 hours, he has first initiated an experiment designed to show that he does possess Satoshi's cryptographic keys, then done an about-turn with a blog saying he "does not have the courage" to carry this through.

I have always stressed that it was his endorsement by Jon Matonis and Gavin Andresen from the Bitcoin Foundation that we found compelling. But now they - and I - have been involved in this failed experiment, which is bound to raise fresh doubts.

They sent me a draft blog in which he outlined a scheme that would see Matonis, Andresen and the BBC all send small amounts of Bitcoin to the address used in the first ever transaction. Then he would send it back, in what would be the first outgoing transactions from the block since January 2009

Eighteen hours later we are still waiting for the payments to be made - and now Wright's new blog says that is not going to happen.

I have relied throughout on the expertise of Matonis and Andresen. As of this moment, neither has withdrawn their original statements of support for Wright's case."

Sigo colgando documentos en la blockchain de textos, que creo que son importantes conservar por mucho tiempo.

Gavin Andresen acceso revocado en GitHub

2 de mayo de 2016


"Aunque pueden ser una cierta verdad a las cuentas sociales de Gavin Andresen que están siendo hackeadas, bien podría ser otra táctica de uno de los miembros más destacados de Bitcoin para desacreditar la criptomoneda popular. En este punto, hay mucha especulación en curso. en este momento, no debe haber acusaciones ni acusaciones hasta que se revele la verdad ".


Cualquiera que sea la verdad, los miembros de Bitcoin Core han revocado el acceso de compromiso que Gavin Andresen tenía para este proyecto en GitHub. Hay una preocupación legítima por parte de otros desarrolladores de Bitcoin Core en cuanto a si Gavin se ha convertido o no en el blanco de un gran ataque, o si no, qué otra cosa podría estar sucediendo tras bambalinas.

Bitcoin Protocol Role Models

A couple of months ago, I was having Yet Another Argument with a Bitcoin Core contributor about the one megabyte block size limit.

I had asked: “what other successful Internet protocols impose arbitrary limits on themselves similar to the one-megabyte limit?”

His answer was “there are limits on the size of the global routing table in the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) protocol.”

BGP is the protocol routers use to decide what to do when they get a data packet bound for an IP address like “111.12.1.1” – they send it to China (111.12.1.1 belongs to the China Mobile Communications Corporation right now).

So I went and skimmed through the BGP protocol documents. Then read the wikipedia page on BGP. And had the opportunity to talk with Justin Newton, who participated in the debates on Internet scalability fifteen years ago.

And found that there are no protocol-level limits on the size of BGP routing tables. There is no place in any BGP specification I can find that says “Routing Tables Shall Be No More Than Eleven Gigabytes Big.”

BGP is interesting, because it is a completely different way of doing decentralized consensus than Bitcoin. Instead of proof-of-work, BGP’s consensus is built on real-world trust relationships between people operating the networks that make up the Internet. That works surprisingly well most of the time, especially considering the stunning lack of security in the BGP protocol.

There are limits on routing table sizes, but they are not top-down-specified-in-a-standards-document protocol limits. They are organic limits that arise from whatever hardware is available and from the (sometimes very contentious!) interaction of the engineers keeping the Internet backbone up and running.

I haven’t been able to find a widely-used Internet-scale protocol that arbitrarily limits itself. The closest I’ve found is the Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP) which has a SIZE header that a server can use to specify the maximum email message size it will accept. The arbitrary limit chosen by the SMTP designers is 99,999,999,999,999,999,999 bytes (just under 100 exabytes).

The HTTP 2.0 spec explicitly discusses denial-of-service attacks, but doesn’t impose hard limits: “An endpoint MAY treat activity that is suspicious as a connection error of type ENHANCE_YOUR_CALM” (I can’t help imagining the server as a California Surfer saying “enhance your calm, dude!)

That’s a well-designed spec. Trust that smart developers will fix scaling or denial-of-service issues as they arise– and, if for some unforeseen reason it turns out they can’t, trust that there will be either an amendment to the spec or a "best practices” document to fix the problem(s).
