And when you realize that ALS is caused by Lyme disease and Lyme has been weaponized by the CDC...Ya you realize the C*A was probably involved.

Criticizing a source code of another programmer is purely subjective. If Satoshi Nakamoto is truly inferior in terms of coding then he should not have made his source code open to the public. I cannot say the same to Microsoft Windows Operating System.

Some of it might be purely subjective and as long as it works it works but laying down a good foundation for others that read the code is considered good programming.

Open source actually brings in the possibility of improving the existing code by having input from others so its not a bad idea to make it open source. Plus he was limited by his own standards and unless he wanted to dedicate more time in learning effective code Bitcoin would of been delayed. Nothing can be made perfect and I was not calling out Satoshi for having bad coding practices I was merely interested after stumbling upon a quote from D&T.

Agree.

Another important fact to consider is that satoshi never meant to roll out the code in 2009. His/her/they chose correctly to take advantage of the 2007/2008 US led monetary crash which caused the highest level of distrust in government to enter at that date and move forward perfecting the code.

just my 2 satoshis

Every post from @anunymint apparently was deleted.

Some of this thread was archived here and here.

Only professional programmers would consider his code 'bad' or 'sloppy'. But professional programmers have a tendency to over-complicate everything behind twenty layers of abstraction and object-orientated garbage, so they see anything that doesn't do the same as bad code.

The bigger problem is that he used Windows, which is an unforgivable sin.

I've always wondered why he used Windows instead of Linux, if he wanted to developed an open source currency. I guess that's what he was most used to, and that's all. Some people learn to do things one way and keep doing it the same way. He probably learned how to code in Windows and couldn't be arsed to switch to Linux.
At the end of the day we got open source code which is all that maters.

I wonder if someone here in the forums or somewhere else asked him why he was a Windows guy.

Guess it's also worth to mention loose coupling here, as an integral principle of encapsulation. Although, an initial bitcoin's source code release seems to look way tightly coupled from this standpoint.

As Satoshi is believed to be Mr. Szabo IRL, nothing here *in terms of coding style* seem to be contradicting.

Sato's basic mathematical idea about distributing time-stamped data on a chain of blocks was the breakthrough. Not the code itself. None of the code was really new, just the novel way it was cobbled together. Dare I say it was a little script-kitty like.

Exactly. I always wonder if people who criticize his programming abilities ever stop to ponder the wast functionality that software had to have. Do they ask them selves: if they had Whitepaper in front of them, would they be able to produce Bitcoin 0.1.0 code, and how much time it would take them? I think majority of critics would not be able to do it if they life depends on it.

As far as I've read historic quotations he wrote that code in 1 1/2 years. It's decent speed even if you do only that in your life, if he had other activities like teaching or regular job it's amazing speed for a side project.

I believe he was active coder at least for some part of his life, probably using programming in his academic work, if he was an academic. People who never actively programmed have no chance of producing that 0.1.0 code.
