你好，中本聪。b-money 于 1998 年在密码朋克邮件列表上公布。这是当时那封邮件的存档：https://cypherpunks.venona.com/date/1998/11/msg00941.html
Hi Satoshi. b-money was announced on the cypherpunks mailing list in 1998. Here's the archived post: https://cypherpunks.venona.com/date/1998/11/msg00941.html
There are some discussions of it at https://cypherpunks.venona.com/date/1998/12/msg00194.html.
谢谢你告诉我你的论文。我会读一下，有什么意见或问题再告诉你。
Thanks for letting me know about your paper. I'll take a look at it and let you know if I have any comments or questions.
想告诉你，我刚刚发布了几个月前发给你的那篇论文的完整实现——比特币 v0.1。详情、下载和截图都在 www.bitcoin.org
I wanted to let you know, I just released the full implementation of the paper I sent you a few months ago, Bitcoin v0.1. Details, download and screenshots are at www.bitcoin.org
我认为，它几乎实现了你在 b-money 论文中提出的所有目标。
I think it achieves nearly all the goals you set out to solve in your b-money paper.
这个系统完全去中心化，没有任何服务器或可信方。网络基础设施能够支持各种托管交易和合约，但目前重点还是货币和交易的基本功能。
The system is entirely decentralized, without any server or trusted parties. The network infrastructure can support a full range of escrow transactions and contracts, but for now the focus is on the basics of money and transactions.
密码学邮件列表上讨论过这个设计。Hal Finney 做了一个很好的总体概述：
There was a discussion of the design on the Cryptography mailing list. Hal Finney gave a good high-level overview:
引用的来信Hal Finney来源 ↗我想提到的一点是，从很多方面来看，比特币包含两个独立的想法：一是解决 James 在这里列出的这类问题，创建一个全局一致却又去中心化的数据库；二是用它构建类似 Wei Dai 的 b-money（论文中引用了它）的系统，不过它基于交易和币，而不是账户。正如 James 强调的，解决全局、大规模去中心化数据库的问题，可以说是更难的部分。我认为，用工作量证明作为实现这个目标的工具，是一个新颖的想法，非常值得进一步研究。
One thing I might mention is that in many ways bitcoin is two independent ideas: a way of solving the kinds of problems James lists here, of creating a globally consistent but decentralized database; and then using it for a system similar to Wei Dai's b-money (which is referenced in the paper) but transaction/coin based rather than account based. Solving the global, massively decentralized database problem is arguably the harder part, as James emphasizes. The use of proof-of-work as a tool for this purpose is a novel idea well worth further review IMO.
