披薩是pen悔：拉斯洛·漢尼克（Laszlo Hanyecz

比特幣Twitter的Skalds演唱了歷史時刻，比特幣的“第一次現實世界購買”，專家將故事刻在了互聯網上

The skalds of Bitcoin Twitter have sung of the historic moment, the “first real world purchase” with bitcoin, and pundits have etched the story into the internet’s memory with headlines about the infamous Bitcoin Pizza Purchase, now dearly valued at more than $1 billion.

比特幣Twitter的Skalds演唱了歷史性的時刻，是比特幣的“第一次現實世界購買”，專家以有關臭名昭著的比特披薩購買的頭條新聞將故事刻在互聯網的記憶中，現在珍視的價值超過10億美元。

But what if I told you that Hanyecz spent nearly 10 times more bitcoin following the historic purchase? And, what if I told you that perhaps Hanyecz did so as ostensible penance for his much more consequential contribution to Bitcoin in its uncertain infancy?

但是，如果我告訴您Hanyecz在歷史性購買後花費了近10倍的比特幣呢？而且，如果我告訴您，Hanyecz也許是因為他對比特幣在不確定的嬰儿期間對比特幣做出了更大的貢獻，該怎麼辦？

He was a Bitcoin technical pioneer

他是比特幣技術先驅

The penumbra of Hanyecz’s Pizza Day purchase has overshadowed his two seminal contributions to Bitcoin’s early technical development.

Hanyecz的披薩日購買的半月掩蓋了他對比特幣早期技術發展的兩次開創性貢獻。

The first of these came on April 19, 2010, just days after Hanyecz registered for Bitcointalk, a forum established by Satoshi Nakamoto that was (and still is) a watering hole for Bitcoin’s techie intelligentsia. Hanyecz created the first MacOS client for Bitcoin Core, the original and still-dominant software implementation for the nodes that underpin the Bitcoin network.

其中第一個是在2010年4月19日，即Hanyecz註冊BitCointalk的幾天后，BitCointalk是Nakamoto Satoshi Nakamoto建立的一個論壇，該論壇是（而且仍然）是Bitcoin的Techie Invonegentsia的水坑。 Hanyecz創建了第一個用於比特幣核心的MACOS客戶端，這是基於比特幣網絡的節點的原始且仍然佔優勢的軟件實現。

Satoshi originally coded Bitcoin for Windows and Linux, but Hanyecz’s innovation enabled MacOS devices to run the software too. His contribution laid the foundation for all MacOS-enabled bitcoin wallets and applications that would follow it.

Satoshi最初針對Windows和Linux編碼比特幣，但是​​Hanyecz的創新也使MacOS設備也可以運行該軟件。他的貢獻為所有支持MACOS的比特幣錢包和應用程序奠定了基礎。

But arguably greater than this was Hanyecz’s discovery that he could mine bitcoin with his computer’s graphics card (GPU). Until this point, early adopters used their computer processing units (CPUs) to mine bitcoin, and since GPUs are orders of magnitude more powerful than CPUs for the task, this innovation propelled bitcoin mining forward much faster than Satoshi expected.

但可以說，這比漢尼克斯發現他可以用計算機的圖形卡（GPU）挖掘比特幣的發現要大。到這一點，早期採用者使用其計算機處理單元（CPU）來開採比特幣，並且由於GPU是比CPU強大的數量級，因此這項創新推動了比特幣開采的速度要比Satoshi預期的要快得多。

“Updated Mac OS X binary…It will use your GPU to generate bitcoins. This works really well if you have a good GPU like an NVIDIA 8800 or something like that,” Hanyecz wrote in a May 10, 2010 Bitcointalk post.

Hanyecz在2010年5月10日的BitCointalk帖子中寫道：“更新了Mac OS X Binary…它將使用您的GPU生成比特幣。如果您擁有像NVIDIA 8800這樣的良好GPU或類似的東西，這確實很好。”

The discovery ignited Bitcoin’s first digital gold rush. Bitcoin’s total hashrate exploded upward by 130,000% by the end of the year, and for the first time, bitcoin miners began constructing small-scale mining farms. These setups – slapped together in basements and attics, garages and sheds – were the prototypes for the industrial-scale bitcoin mining farms that dominate the Bitcoin network today.

該發現點燃了比特幣的第一次數字淘金熱。到今年年底，比特幣的總哈希雷特爆炸量增長了130,000％，這是比特幣礦工首次開始建造小規模的採礦農場。這些設置 - 在地下室和閣樓，車庫和棚子裡拍打在一起 - 是當今占主導地位比特幣網絡的工業規模比特幣採礦農場的原型。

The Pizza was penance

披薩是pen悔的

Hanyecz’s invention was so consequential that it earned him a virtual drop in from Satoshi Nakamoto himself. And it’s possible that the conversation that followed may have inspired Hanyecz’s famous Pizza Day purchase.

Hanyecz的發明非常重要，以至於他本人從Satoshi Nakamoto本人贏得了一個虛擬的下降。隨之而來的對話可能激發了Hanyecz著名的披薩日購買。

“A big attraction to new users is that anyone with a computer can generate some free coins,” Satoshi wrote to Hanyecz. “GPUs would prematurely limit the incentive to only those with high-end GPU hardware. It’s inevitable that GPU compute clusters will eventually hog all the generated coins, but I don’t want to hasten that day.”

“對新用戶的一個很大的吸引力是，擁有計算機的任何人都可以生成一些免費的硬幣，” Satoshi寫信給Hanyecz。 “ GPU會過早地將激勵措施限制在具有高端GPU硬件的人身上。不可避免的是，GPU計算群集最終會豬最終豬，但我不想那天加速。”

In a 2019 interview for Bitcoin Magazine, Hanyecz told me that he “stopped advertising [GPU mining] after that.”

在2019年對比特幣雜誌的採訪中，Hanyecz告訴我，他“在那之後停止了廣告[GPU採礦]。”

“I was like, ‘Man, I feel like I crapped up your project. Sorry, dude.’ He was concerned that some people might be discouraged because they can’t mine a block with a CPU,” Hanyecz said.

“我當時想，'伙計，我覺得我陷入了您的項目。對不起，伙計。'他擔心某些人可能會灰心，因為他們不能用CPU挖掘一個障礙。”

Perhaps this conversation spurred Hanyecz to offer 10,000 BTC for two large Papa John’s pizzas on that fateful day in May 15 years ago. In fact, he made the offer more than once. During the 2019 interview, Hanyecz told me that he spent nearly 100,000 BTC in the year that followed.

也許這次談話刺激了Hanyecz在5月15年前的那個命運的日子里為兩個大爸爸約翰的披薩提供10,000 BTC。實際上，他不止一次地提出了報價。在2019年的採訪中，Hanyecz告訴我，他在隨後的一年中花費了近100,000 btc。

“I spent [all my bitcoin] on pizza long ago,” Hanyecz wrote in a February 2014 Bitcointalk post. “Other than a little bit of single digit change, I spent everything I mined. As you all know, the difficulty rises to adjust to hashing power, so eventually the mining wasn't worth it for me.”

Hanyecz在2014年2月的BitCointalk帖子中寫道：“我很久以前就花在了比薩餅上。” “除了一點點數字的變化外，我花了我所挖掘的所有東西。眾所周知，難以適應哈希力的力量，因此最終，採礦對我來說是不值得的。”

Looking at a Bitcoin address Hanyecz listed on his first Bitcointalk post, Hanyecz received and spent 81,432 BTC from this address from April to November 2010. This sum would be worth just over $8.6 billion today.

查看Hanyecz在他的第一個BitCointalk帖子上列出的Hanyecz的一個比特幣地址，Hanyecz收到並從2010年4月至11月從該地址花費了81,432 BTC。今天，這筆款項的價值將超過86億美元。

There’s no way to verify if Hanyecz spent all of this on pizza, other goods, or if he simply gave bitcoin to new Bitcointalk members in the way that many did back then when the coin was almost worthless. But he did mention in his original thread for

沒有辦法驗證Hanyecz是否將所有這些都花在了披薩，其他商品上，或者他是否只是將比特幣交給了新的BitCointalk成員，就像許多人那時，當硬幣幾乎毫無價值的時候。但是他確實在原始線程中提到了
