My friend Ashutosh Ahelleya (npub1veg…e3p6) directed me to this 2017 ACM paper that reconstructs the academic foundations Sathoshi Nakamoto used to develop the Bitcoin protocol.
Even for non-experts, the article is incredibly accessible and fascinating, while being a worthwhile read for experts and long-time bitcoiners as well.
The paper also jogged my memory. It mentioned Guardtime, and I recalled writing to CEO Mike Gault in 2008 after seeing a Merkle root inside an ad on the front page of the Financial Times. I was quite excited by this simple yet powerful concept that I wanted a job there.
