Ask HN: "Order of Magnitude”?
I noticed Satoshi Nakamoto used the phrase "order of magnitude" a lot. Like Elon Musk. What do people think?
"I thought it would be impractical if the block chain, bitcoin addresses, disk space and bandwidth requirements were all an order of magnitude bigger."
"RSA can do both, but I didn’t use it because it’s an order of magnitude bigger and would have been impractical."
"I know for competitive reasons the inclination is to keep it to yourself, but it could get an order of magnitude more use if anyone could give proxy access to their country just by putting the software on a server."
"Setting up the buffer takes an order of magnitude longer than the actual hashing if you’re only hashing one or two blocks like we do."
"The new efficient single-pass algorithm is orders of magnitude quicker."
https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Ahttps%3A%2F%2Fsatoshi.nakamotoinstitute.org%2Fposts%2Fbitcointalk+%22order+of+magnitude%22 Why are you stuck on this idea that Elon is Satoshi? All of your evidence is very flimsy. How many people say factor of 10, order of magnitude, and bloody? Why have you not considered them as potential Satoshis? You previously asked this and got a similar response. The evidence pointing to Elon being Satoshi spans every important dimension of identifying someone. Capability, motivation, linguistics, physical location. This is the most robust consilience of evidence of Satoshi anywhere on the internet. This is a proposal. You are welcome to propose another candidates. Now it up to open-minded people to rank all proposals by likelihood of being true. No, you are already convinced and saying things most people think are crazy, making conspiracy theory like connections. You lose respect and credibility by doing so. You may wish to think about how others think about what your statements say about you You have previously posted about Wolfram's New Kind of Science. So I think you understand what it means to have original thoughts and go against the status quo. Yes, but that is not an absolute thing. Consider supporting Russia right now and how going against the status quo would harm you. Again, I urge you to consider how your statements and claims are seen by others. What is the primary pattern across your "elon is satoshi" posts - Capability - Motivation - Linguistics - Physical location This is the most robust consilience of evidence of Satoshi anywhere on the internet. It means a "factor of 10". I'll let it slide if it is really a factor of 8 or 9. If it is factor of 2 it does not apply. Also "bloody" "Writing a description for this thing for general audiences is bloody hard." https://satoshi.nakamotoinstitute.org/posts/bitcointalk/thre... "Bloody hell, I’m going to have to write a blog. Can’t fit this into tweets."
