Egggg yolk, howzit going with this channel’s
faithful’s the Chico Army, and of course
any newbie who i like to call a viewer of
the tube.
If you don’t know by now, my name is Tyler,
the host of the only crypto channel, that
at first shocks, you & then brings the entire
house down...you know, our zeus juice, it’s
time for Chico Crypto!
So did I shock you last week my video last
week, which brought forward the evidence out
there that Elon Musk could be Satoshi Nakamoto.
Did you hear what I just said???
He could be, because there is sooo many different
possible candidates out there besides Musk
which make some sense...Hal Finney, Wei Dai,
Adam Back & even Dave Klieman….but there
is one more who makes my list as a contender,
who hasn’t been discussed much & it ties
back to my #1 hodl, which is OHHHHH so stanky...that
is Chainlink founder SN, Satoshi Nakamoto….or
Sergey Nazarov.
How, is the flan man himself, a candidate
for Satoshi?
Chainlink was a 2017 ICO???
Didn’t Sergey create it around that time?.....
Well, actually no...chainlink has been in
the works for a LOOOOONNNNN time, longer than
most people realize.
Which, relates back to the domain...smartcontract.com,
which today is a landing page for Chainlink
smart contracts.
So, how does this website domain provide evidence,
that Sergey could possibly be Satoshi??
Well, the first thing is when the domain was
registered….using whois.net, a domain information
and lookup tool, we can see that smartcontract.com
was officially registered, on October 25th,
2008.
2008?
Does that year ring a bell, for anything important,
especially the month of October?
Well, the first email, Satoshi sent, announcing
the release of the bitcoin whitepaper, was
done on October 31st, 2008.
So, just 6 days before the release of Bitcoin
to the masses, Sergey Nazarov secured the
domain smartcontract.com, and the email he
used to register it with, we can do a reverse
lookup of, and as we can see he has also registered
a flurry of domain names, from 2008 on, names
which will become important.
All of that right there is weird, alone...but
the fact that smartcontract was secured points
to something….as towards the end of Sathoshi’
“time” with Bitcoin, he started posting
more and more about “contracts” especially
those smart ones...Here is a post, in 2010
about an escrow contract, Satoshi was coming
up with for Bitcoin...then in December of
that same year, 2010 Satoshi announced the
release of version 0.3.18 of bitcoin core,
and as we can see Satoshi said “ The main
addition in this release is the Accounts-Based
JSON-RPC commands that Gavin's been working
on...JSON RPC commands?
Well if we go to Ethereum, which is the grandaddy
of smart contracts, we can see, from this
infographic, JSON RPC is an interface for
the smart contract calling function….so
obviously, Satoshi was thinking smart just
before leaving bitcoin...as just a few months
later, he sent this email to a group of core
devs he was speaking with, some of his last
words when asked if he was stepping back from
the limelight “I’ve moved on to other
things.
It’s in good hands with Gavin and Everyone”
Was that other things in relation to smart
contracts….like smartcontract.com??
Well let’s dive deeper into that domain...and
see what we can come up with.
Going a bit further, we can confirm once again,
that yes it was registered 6 days before the
bitcoin whitepaper, but here it shows the
Registrant was indeed Sergey Nazarov...but
there is also something special there, the
registrant’s organization, which says QED
Global….and here is where things start to
really pick up…rember that name QED Global...
So, the domain for smartcontract.com...it
laid dormant from the time of registration,
until the launch of the actual website in
the latter half of 2014.
I wonder what the original, smartcontract.com
looked like?
We know what it looks like today, all spiked
up with those Chainlinks...using web archive
for the 1st published version...oh shoot,
that’s a ton of Bitcoin isn’t it...looks
like smart contracts for Bitcoin, including
an escrow contract...which Sergey or Satoshi,
termed a conditional bitcoin escrow contract.
Smart contracts like this, from Sergey or
Satoshi, were meant to happen with Bitcoin
one of the last things he posted in the forums
was regarding the ability for smart contracts,
and JSON RPC calls.
But Bitcoin doesn’t use JSON RPC, it uses
it’s own thing..called Bitcoin RPC and it
is used by authenticated clients and servers
to connect to a running instance of bitcoin.
The clients issue commands to send transactions,
get status, and a variety of other purposes.
Basically to call contract functions...but,
BITCOIN RPC, is bitcoin specific, and not
friendly to the outside world of APIs and
more...which causes major problems.
But, JSON RPC was implemented back then with
Bitcoin, as we can see from the Bitcoin Wiki,
they have a whole section on JSON RPC...and
in it we see, Bitcoin supports SSL (https)
JSON-RPC connections beginning with version
0.3.14 exactly when Satoshi was still around
But what the freak happened to it?
Well continuing, Allowing arbitrary machines
to access the JSON-RPC port (using the rpcallowip
configuration option) is dangerous and strongly
discouraged-- access should be strictly limited
to trusted machines.
Then, there was enabling SSL on the original
client daemon, but that was removed an no
longer available on Bitcoin core, as of March
2019, and as we can see from the historical
comments, it says this no longer applies as
RPC SSL was removed, and below it was JSON
RPC over SSL is strongly discouraged, even
when it was around.
This doesn’t seem like what Satoshi wanted
from Bitcoin, as he posted about it being
worked ON just before he left.
And it kind of looks, from Sergey’s own
smart contract.com, that even in 2014, when
the website went live, he wanted BITCOIN too.
But, you remember just a bit ago, from the
whois registration...it said the registrant’s
orginization was QED global, and I said that
is important.
Now why?
Well let’s just go to their website today,
and look who is still listed as the managing
director….a very young picture of Sergey
Nazarov is right there.
So who is QED?
Well Sergey has them listed as part of his
job experience...and it says “QED Capital
provided founder friendly venture capital
to highly technical founding teams in Russia
and Eastern Europe...it then says “After
the first Bitcoin price spike to $30+ (June
2011) QED Capital turned its attention towards
cryptocurrency research and mining.
With the emergence of altcoins that offered
the first smart contract functionality, we
refocused on applying blockchains beyond cryptocurrency
and the real world applicability of smart
contracts….then it says “Through research,
extensive technical due diligence and active
participation in multiple cryptocurrency communities,
QED eventually led to the creation of an expert
technical team that would make the first blockchain-based
webmail (CryptaMail), and one of the first
live/widely used decentralized applications
that used smart contract to move real value
(Secure Asset Exchange)...which if we scroll,
up of course Sergey was the co-founder and
CEO of each of these.
So why is this QED and all of this important?
Well QED, is russian, they have servers and
their clients in Russia, and registered the
domain with Sergey.
Well, just this Month, Cointelegraph came
out with an article, titled “Bitcoin Code
Reveals Satoshi Nakamoto Used a Russian Proxy”
and the article states, as early as 2009,
Satoshi was relied on a russian proxy and
the Telltale signs appear in the file “irc.cpp”
on line 212...though the details of it were
hidden with a cipher, which they were able
to crack
The article continues “This cipher seems
to work by removing all the zeros and then
converting the numbers from hexadecimal notation
to decimal.
That produces what looks like an IP address:
87.251.146.
At the time, the proxy was provided by Anders
Telecom.
It has apparently been defunct since 2016,
but we can confirm here that yes, the Proxy
was indeed Russian..
Cointelgraph did a search of the IP used,
for the proxy, 87.251.146 & you wouldn’t
guess what they found...they found that same
IP proxy, posting hotel reviews in December,
2008...with the name...Sergey & then again
in January 2009, Sergey posting from that
Proxy, in a thread about Russian speakers
in Vietnam.
Now, that is some of the best who is Satoshi,
I think we have come across.
The russian ties, to Satoshi, as if you didn’t
know, BitcoinTalk, the forum Satoshi created,
Russian was the 1st non english non english
section of it.
But I want to play you something to finish
this episode off with, Sergey speaking at
a 2014 conference about blockchain smart contracts,
even before Ethereum was released...let’s
begin...yes he says, the full potential of
the blockchain…..
Now, let’s just go back to the a JSON RPC
thread, from bitcoin talk in 2010 satoshi
was a part of..regarding JSON RPC, he sad
this “as long as the interface is designed
for things like showing the user the last
N transactions history, it's fine, now that
we have the Accounts feature making it easier
to do payment detection the right way” Gavin,
could listtransactions have an option to list
transactions for all accounts?
Which who was working on it Gavin Andresen,
last replied that year, 2010...about it..Yes,
listtransactions "*"  is possible.
The other account routines could return a
new "invalid account name" error if given
"*".I've got two issues with it, though: which
he lists..and the next comment about this,
JSON RPC idea?
2013, a random user asks What is the new state
of affairs regarding this issue, after 3 years?
Is there a way to poll or get notified when
things happen on the network ?
No there wasn’t, development had failed
to get the full potential, to solve some of
these problems Satoshi was last talking about.
Which Sergey was plainly saying at the conference
with the release of Ethereum, as the crowdsale
for this was going on at the time... lets
continue
Yes, BITCOIN was waiting, Sergey and Ethereum
was not.
Cheer’s viewers I’ll see you next time!
