Did you know Satoshi had alternative names for Bitcoin?

Netcoin, e-cash & supercoin!

1 day before registering http://bitcoin.org Satoshi registered http://netcoin.org




Before launching the White Paper on 31 October 2008, Satoshi contacted Adam Back to verify the Hashcash citation.

in the email a draft of the White Paper is present.

Filename: e-cash.pdf
The Title is pasted in the email
"Electronic Cash Without a Trusted Third Party."


Adam mention's Wei Dai's b-money.

22 August 2008 Satoshi contacts Wei Dai, same draft is shared in the same format.

Link to a e-cash.pdf
The Title pasted:
"Electronic Cash Without a Trusted Third Party."


I was also curious if he registered http://e-cash.org around then.

Looks like someone did on the 20 July 2008.
Sameish period.
But different IP, and different registar.

Very possible these were owned by domain investors(from parking behaviour)


5/5
And the last name come from the preBitcoin v0.1 code that Satoshi shared in private to a few testers.

In one instance when testing if the mining functions work he calls it SUPERCOIN.

This code was later share by one of the testers.
