Bitcoin Logo

The origin of the Bitcoin logo is little known, for this reason we are going to dedicate an article as a small tribute to its creator/creators:

 

 

The first logo was designed by Satoshi Nakamoto, it appeared after the launch of Bitcoin and was the icon represented in the 2009 Bitcoin wallet, it represents a gold coin with the inscription BC.

In 2010 the logo was presented with only the letter B with its traditional design including the 2 vertical bars at the top and bottom.

But the big change came with the intervention of the user bitboy Bitcointalk in November 2010, proposing some changes to give Bitcoin a brand image and get the logo to be directly identified with Bitcoin, orange circle with the B of Bitcoin in white and slightly leaning to the right.

Also bitboy like satoshi remain anonymous.

 

 

Chronology Satoshi Nakamoto

Satoshi Nakamoto is the name used by the presumed pseudonymous person or persons who developed bitcoin, authored the bitcoin white paper, and created and deployed bitcoin's original reference implementation. As part of the implementation, Nakamoto also devised the first blockchain database.In the process, Nakamoto was the first to solve the double-spending problem for digital currency using a peer-to-peer network.

I've been working on a new electronic cash system that's fully
peer-to-peer, with no trusted third party.

The paper is available at:
http://www.bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf

The main properties:
Double-spending is prevented with a peer-to-peer network.
No mint or other trusted parties.
Participants can be anonymous.
New coins are made from Hashcash style proof-of-work.
The proof-of-work for new coin generation also powers the
network to prevent double-spending.

Bitcoin open source implementation of P2P currency
Posted by Satoshi Nakamoto on February 11, 2009 at 22:27

I've developed a new open source P2P e-cash system called Bitcoin. It's completely decentralized, with no central server or trusted parties, because everything is based on crypto proof instead of trust. Give it a try, or take a look at the screenshots and design paper:

The root problem with conventional currency is all the trust that's required to make it work. The central bank must be trusted not to debase the currency, but the history of fiat currencies is full of breaches of that trust. Banks must be trusted to hold our money and transfer it electronically, but they lend it out in waves of credit bubbles with barely a fraction in reserve. We have to trust them with our privacy, trust them not to let identity thieves drain our accounts. Their massive overhead costs make micropayments impossible.
