@NickSzabo4 I'm presenting some history leading to Bitcoin and I'm giving you credit for inventing PoW chaining in Bit Gold. Do you agree that was the major innovation in Bit Gold?
That was one of them, but there were others. The "secure property titles" portion of the work used digital signatures to form & chain transactions, then replicated them (i.e. decentralized Byzantine consensus): https://nakamotoinstitute.org/secure-property-titles/ …

I may also have been the first to observe the advantages of using specialized hardware for proofs of work: https://nakamotoinstitute.org/intrapolynomial-cryptography/ …

Thanks Nick. Its amazing how hard it is to go back and figure out what Satoshi built on and what he invented. Seems often the "built on" tech is assume to have been invented by Satoshi.
