That part matches though doesn't it, given that SN's code used hungarian notation and otherwise seemed to be a bit old school?
You don't mean reverse polish notation? There are other signs of age too, like using two spaces after a full stop.
Hungarian notation in a random bitcoin file I opened: coins.cpp
if (!fZero) {
nLastUsedByte = b + 1;
nNonzeroBytes++;
}
See the letters preceding each variable? Those tell you what type of variable they are. Here I suspect "f" is for float and "n" is for "integer". This is not a common style for programming, and especially this kind of it ("systems hungarian") is associated with Microsoft.
Many of you here have likely heard of Bitcoin, and maybe know something about it.
Earlier today, a story broke that a reporter had apparently tracked down the real Satoshi Nakamoto, infamous creator of the Bitcoin protocol.
This seems like an excellent opportunity to practice our Bayesian updating!
So, how likely do you think it is that this man is the founder of Bitcoin? What do you believe and why?
