YES, actually do, but i think I only used it like 2 times :))

NOW!

It cost 0 to claim anything, no matter how ridiculous it is.

Indeed, however there is some logic to their madness.

In this blog post https://blog.dustintrammell.com/block-286-and-satoshis-coins/ Dustin Trammell signs a message to showcase he has access to the private keys controlling some coins sent to some of those bare PUB_KEYs.

But when he does it in core, Bitcoin Core also uses the addresses.

Even though when making the TX the bare PUB_KEY was used, Bitcoin Core also wants you to convert that to an address and use that.

I was very confused about this myself for a bit.

Yes, indeed.

Thank you, Sir.

Yeah, pretty much, but if he was, he would have prolly have not shipped this out to the world :P

Thanks.

Well the code did not write itself, so he existed :D

I dont think there was any instances where we were about to add loops in script IIRC.

Did you even read the 1st sentence? And how do you not detect the humour?

The title is a bit tongue-and-cheek, but just so you know, Satoshi is now know because he was some kinda marvelous dev.

Gratzie Seniore!
