Oddbean new post about login | logout I made it just as far as him, but instead of Wei Dai my answer was Stuart Haber and also lost lol. Love these things, wouldn't mind seeing more of this.
we'll do more of them! if you have any super difficult but PLAUSIBLE trivia for hardcore bitcoiners, let me know - compiling a list to host some more of these when conference season kicks back up again!
I contributed this question to a trivia night once. The 21M cap of bitcoin is.. A) written in code explicitly, Bitcoin checks regularly if the cap is not broken. B) written in code explicitly, Bitcoin does not check regularly if the cap is broken. C) implicit, Bitcoin checks regularly if the cap is not broken. D) implicit, Bitcoin does not check regularly if the cap is broken.
It's not that difficult but I think it's a fine question for intermediate level.
"What type of PK cryptography is used for bitcoin keypairs? "Who was the 2nd user to use bitcoin after satoshi?" "How was the source code initially distributed?" (maybe best not to dredge that one up though 😉)
Too easy. Who was the Bear Whale, and what two projects did he start?
