KolibriTechSpace💸 Создателем биткоина, скрывавшимся под псевдонимом «Сатоси Накамото», является британский криптограф Адам Бэк — NYT.
55-летний Бэк, основатель Blockstream и изобретатель Hashcash (основа майнинга биткоина), отрицает причастность к созданию криптовалюты.
Расследование The New York Times вёл Джон Каррейру — двукратный лауреат Пулитцеровской премии, известный разоблачением Theranos. Анализируя переписку Сатоси, архивы «Шифропанков» и работы Бэка, Каррейру пришёл к выводу: из 620 кандидатов именно Бэк разделяет с Сатоси максимум орфографических ошибок, редких словосочетаний и стилистических особенностей, включая двойной пробел между предложениями и термин *burning the money*.
Но есть хронологическое противоречие: Бэк активно работал над электронными деньгами с 1990-х и описал почти все ключевые элементы биткоина к 1999 году. Однако после публикации белой книги Сатоси в 2008 году он проявил интерес только в апреле 2011 года, когда Сатоси исчез.

Fight over private home listings heats up in WA as real estate giants clash (this case has an effect across the country)
Fight over private home listings heats up in WA as real estate giants clash (this case has an effect across the country) - sh.itjust.works
Typically, a home sale goes like this: A seller hires a real estate agent who helps prepare the house for sale through immaculate staging and professional photos. When the house is ready, the agent adds the listing to the multiple listing service. That allows other agents to see the house is for sale and home-shopping websites, such as Zillow and Redfin, to display the listing. But Compass offers sellers a different path: a calculated three-phase marketing program to maximize profit. Sellers first test pricing privately with an off-market listing only accessible only to Compass agents and their clients. Then, they build anticipation by labeling it as “Coming Soon” on Compass’ website. Finally, they launch the listing widely on the multiple listing service.

Why We Went Looking for National Defense Areas Along the U.S. Southern Border
Why We Went Looking for National Defense Areas Along the U.S. Southern Border - sh.itjust.works
Our reporting started, like much of our work, in a spreadsheet. As I parsed through federal court data, I noticed something odd: Within months of President Donald Trump’s inauguration in January 2025, prosecutors began filing obscure charges related to trespassing on military property — so many, in fact, that more cases were filed in 2025 than in the prior decade. Nearly all of these charges originated from cases along the U.S. southern border, where last spring, the White House designated large swaths of land as national defense areas. Putting them under military authority allowed troops to play an unprecedented role in apprehending undocumented immigrants; federal soldiers are generally barred from enforcing the law on domestic soil. If you were caught in one of these zones, the government could also now prosecute you for breaking federal laws, including one enacted in 1909 to keep spies away from arsenals.
