So far, the creator of Bitcoin, the most popular virtual currency, was known under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto. The fact that it is the Wright speculated, however, already several months. In December, American portals Wired and Gizmondo published the results of their investigations suggest that this eccentric Australian entrepreneur in the IT industry is the creator of Bitcoin. Speaking for this was that Wright, who has scored theoretical publications on cryptocurrency, e-mailował to colleagues from the same account, which used the Nakamoto, and wykasowanym later post on his blog announced the creation of beta version of Bitcoin. After the publication of the Australian police searched the home and offices Wright.

Bitcoin is a currency, the form of computer code. It is emitted in a decentralized way. Anyone can take part in the creation of money. This is done through a process called “mining”. To get to it, but you have to have a very powerful computer, with high computing power – “mining” bitcoin consists in the performance of the machine complex calculations, solving problems cryptographic. (Some people combine so computing power with others and form the “mines” bitcoin). The system every 10 minutes distributes among the “diggers” 25 new bitcoins.
