That hid Satoshi Nakamoto in your code #9678

I tried to find in the code puzzles from Satoshi Nakamoto and I may have found them. How do you think the meaning of these symbols?

You can try iterating combinations of those numbers, you get Chinese or Korean letter I don't know what these letters mean. But one who knows the Chinese language, can touch the letters and create words

I'd like to read the letter, and I will be glad if someone will try to solve it :)

How is this an issue?

@rublev No I just forgot the question mark removed question how do you think the meaning of these symbols?

Please take this to reddit or something.

I don't use reddit, but thanks for the idea.

@DATSEC Neither do I, but this is not the place for conspiracy theories.

@sipa -> @DATSEC has the right to express himself, and what he found can be a very intersting clue of who is behind bitcoin. So no it's not a conspiracy theory, it's a cnn term like fake news. less tv and more programming is better... @DATSEC please PM me I can help you to spread the word and find out the mystery

From the Bitcoin v0.1.5 source code:

// The message start string is designed to be unlikely to occur in normal data.
// The characters are rarely used upper ascii, not valid as UTF-8, and produce
// a large 4-byte int at any alignment.
static const char pchMessageStart[4] = { 0xf9, 0xbe, 0xb4, 0xd9 };

I think that is a perfectly reasonable rationale for the character choice. You're free to go look for patterns in that as much as you like, but don't spam the development repository with such theories.

@sipa I don't understand what you want to say with this review Why these characters are chosen? f9 - what do you mean? be - what do you mean? b4 - what do you mean? d9 - what do you mean?

@DATSEC None of this is relevant for development. Take this elsewhere.

This has a direct relationship to the history bitcoin, a message that will affect the plot

@sipa why to be so rude? you are not the owner of bitcoin and his comment has nothing to do with spam. it's directly related to the subject, bitcoin. However @DATSEC, my advice is to use other social netowrk means, like YT and make a channel about this subject, as here no one will help you I guess...

@DATSEC Take 'the plot' to Stackexchange, or the Bitcoin forums, or reddit. This repository is for development of the Bitcoin Core software.

@sipa I do not believe that Satoshi Nakamoto did not leave no mystery behind I am sure that he left, even if it was a group of people or one person, a mystery should be Aren't you curious to at least try to find a riddle?

@sipa I do not believe that Satoshi Nakamoto did not leave no mystery behind

You can believe what you want. This place is for development, not religion. I'm locking this thread.
