BitcoinTalk

From Satoshipedia, the Satoshi Mail encyclopedia

BitcoinTalk is the Bitcoin forum Satoshi created on 22 November 2009^[1] with the post “Welcome to the new Bitcoin forum!” (the post). Martti Malmi set up the software (the emails).

Most of what Satoshi wrote in public is here: design explanations, release notes, bug reports and arguments with early users, from late 2009 until 12 December 2010 (his last post). In Satoshi Mail the forum threads are under the Forums tab (open Forums).
