"I just could not believe there's nothing written about this. Zilch. Nothing." @raw_avocado dug into Hal Finney's original debug.log file from Bitcoin's first days, a public file nobody had actually analyzed. [Spoken audio]: realize that I want to find out more about this Helfini stuff, but I never really touched it because it always felt solved to me because, I mean, just how many times did you hurt people mention the emails? And there's always this air of, like, it's solved. We know exactly what happened. And it just feels like this has me wrong for such a long time. Clearly, there's nothing to find there anymore, right? And I decided to write a thread about the Helfini, and I just could not believe there's nothing written about this, right? Like, zilch, nothing. I mean, there's an article here and there, but nothing concrete, right? just people claiming certain things. I found it so strange and then I was like, all right, you know what? Let's try to dig in this. And I started looking and looking and looking and I was like, oh my God, I think I'm the first person who looks at this. I just could not, like the first part was, I could not believe no one looked at this because it's so, it's such a low hanging fruit first of all, right? And after this, after I realized, I started digging a bit of things, I was like, oh my God, there's some interesting stuff here. And first day I figured out what Bitcoin client he was running when he made the Bitcoin tweet. And then when I did that, and I found the debug.log file. So when Helfini tried Bitcoin for the first time, it didn't work for him. And there used to be this forum called Swarchforge where people would post about Bitcoin. And the first time he tried Bitcoin, it didn't work. And he posted on this forum, what's it called? She was literally the four for something day. And then the Bitcoin node at the time has a debug.log file, which is a file that saves everything that happens, right? This is not new. This was known. Other people wrote about this. And you could download it still today. And when I started looking at that file, I've realized that actually, no one actually looked at what the files means. And I went live by line, line by line. And when I saw there's two other, other people also, sorry, there, you could also see Satoshi is clearing that IP and we'll probably get into this a bit more in depth and whatever. But you can see the other two nodes. And when I saw the two other nodes there, which again, this is undeniable, posted by health, this is there's nothing speculative about this part. You can see it there. And when I saw that, I mean, I couldn't believe it. I was like, oh my god, I was like, gracias. I started jumping around. I was, you know, I was bombing to the ground. And I was just so happy. And I mean, I'm kind of rambling right now. But like, there's just so much to it. And that's kind of when I was like, all right, let's just see where this goes deeper. And there was obviously more.
