Qinghai has long clouds and dark snow-capped mountains, and the lonely city looks at Yumen Pass from afar.
When Bitcoin circulates below the 69k top 2021, the market has significant differences over the bulls and bears in the future.
Last year, when the so-called BRC-20 inscription meme coins were popular on the so-called Bitcoin ecosystem, an OG (old gun) developer jumped out, with the fearless spirit of being gone even though millions of people were gone, and the splendor of being “Bitcoin ecosystem”The fireworks aroused the whole community of fanaticism and shouted: Ordinal is a scam, and the inscription is an attack on the main chain of Bitcoin. The Bitcoin client should be upgraded to filter this junk data!
This man who tries to make the final conclusion on the inscription fanaticism with his own strength is called Luke Dashjr.Whether you say he is overestimating his abilities or he is not aware of the current affairs, you have to admit that Bitcoin has experienced hardships and has overcome many life-and-death barriers. From 2009 to March 2024, it is now close to 7Ten thousand dollars, at every fork in history, I was extremely lucky to choose the right path. Since its birth, since its founder Satoshi Nakamoto, the key development of the key to sticking to his original aspirations, unswervingly and fearing challenges has been developed.The efforts and protection of the people are inseparable.
The Luke Dashjr we are going to talk about today is praised by Twitter founder Jack Dorsey as the “Guardian Angel” of Bitcoin.He has been involved in the development of Bitcoin since he was less than $1 in 2010. He has contributed his obligations to this day and has played an important role in several important turning points in the development of Bitcoin.Below, let’s review Luke Dashjr’s Bitcoin journey, which was compiled by Jiaolian based on posts by netizens Peter Rizzo.
Luke Dashjr discovered Bitcoin in the IRC chat channel of a New Year’s Eve party in late 2010.At that time, the price of Bitcoin was about $0.3 (or less).
But just over half a year later, Bitcoin ushered in its first bull market in history.In June 2011, it was recorded that the price of Bitcoin soared from US$0.06 to US$29, a 500-fold increase in a year!
In 2011, Luke Dashjr established the first mining pool in Bitcoin history: Eligius.This mining pool has mined more than 300,000 bitcoins in total.Completely free for users!
Teaching Chain briefly explains: Bitcoin is generated by providing computing power mining.Miners can mine by themselves or connect their computing power to the mining pool. There are many people and strong forces. After mining Bitcoin, they will be allocated according to the degree of contribution of computing power.Generally speaking, there are some handling fees for mining pools.However, the first mining pool established by Luke Dashjr was provided to all those who want to mine Bitcoin for free.
In 2012, in the P2SH soft fork plan, the proposal proposed by Gavin Andresen, the heir of Satoshi Nakamoto and then chief developer of Bitcoin core, annoyed Luke Dashjr.Luke believes that Andresen’s solution adds complexity to the Bitcoin protocol and will have unpredictable consequences in the future.He launched an opposition.He said,If you want an imperial currency, why not just use the Fed’s dollar?”
Under the pressure of Andresen, Luke decided to implement a solution that competes with P2SH – CHV.In this debate about Bitcoin’s vision, Andresen once asked Luke to completely stop contributing Bitcoin code, but Luke ignored the pressure he gave and continued to work.After inspiring debate, supporters of each plan finally determined to adopt the P2SH plan through computing power voting.This first “war” in Bitcoin history came to an end.
Although Luke’s plan was not adopted in the end, this provides valuable practical experience in how the Bitcoin code should evolve and how to make choices in different perspectives and solutions.
Since 2011, Luke Dashjr has officially become a BIP editor.He volunteered to check the BIP proposal and evaluate the changes it caused to Bitcoin.
In 2013, Luke Dashjr was the first to discover a hard fork crisis, which could cause a split in the Bitcoin network.He quickly asked questions to avoid Bitcoin’s heavy blow.
In the “small and small blocks” dispute that lasted for several years from 2015 to 2017, Luke Dashjr found a way to plug in witness data, that is, signature data, outside the Satoshi block, through “isolation witness”, toAchieve block size expansion.This is also the reason why today’s Bitcoin can have 4MB block data.
As of 2016, Luke Dashjr was part of the list of the top 20 Bitcoin contributors in the world.The ranking of this contribution list is entirely sorted by the code contribution to Bitcoin core.
In 2017, in the year of the “Big Block War”, Luke Dashjr was the only core Bitcoin developer who supports UASF (a user-activated soft fork).Through the UASF protocol, all nodes can implement their rights and pass the implementation of isolation witness technology.
The successful implementation of UASF proves that it is not a commercial organization or a miner, but the vast majority of users, driving the upgrade of consensus.
Today, Luke Dashjr has developed Bitcoin Knots (https://bitcoinknots.org) as a replacement for Bitcoin’s core.In Knots, what is particularly prominent is the key functions and features that are crucial to network decentralization.
If you don’t want the inscription pictures to fill your precious hard drive, then you can use the Knots client to turn on the filter switch, “Sweep the mosquitoes” and feel refreshed from now on.
In 2023, Luke Dashjr launched a new mining pool called Ocean Mining and received $7 million in financing.
Ocean Mining minimizes asset custody (the risk of mining pool running away), and realizes decentralized mining by directly paying bitcoin to miners in block coinbase transactions.(Note from Jiaolian: Traditional mining pools first uniformly store the mined BTC on the platform and regularly send it back to miners. If the mining pool runs away, it is easy to sweep away the undistributed BTC.)
“A person does good deeds for the people, and the people will never forget him.”
The legendary story of the veteran continues…
