披萨是pen悔：拉斯洛·汉尼克（Laszlo Hanyecz

比特币Twitter的Skalds演唱了历史时刻，比特币的“第一次现实世界购买”，专家将故事刻在了互联网上

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.

比特币Twitter的Skalds演唱了历史性的时刻，是比特币的“第一次现实世界购买”，专家以有关臭名昭著的比特披萨购买的头条新闻将故事刻在互联网的记忆中，现在珍视的价值超过10亿美元。

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，如果我告诉您Hanyecz在历史性购买后花费了近10倍的比特币呢？而且，如果我告诉您，Hanyecz也许是因为他对比特币在不确定的婴儿期间对比特币做出了更大的贡献，该怎么办？

He was a Bitcoin technical pioneer

他是比特币技术先驱

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

Hanyecz的披萨日购买的半月掩盖了他对比特币早期技术发展的两次开创性贡献。

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.

其中第一个是在2010年4月19日，即Hanyecz注册BitCointalk的几天后，BitCointalk是Nakamoto Satoshi Nakamoto建立的一个论坛，该论坛是（而且仍然）是Bitcoin的Techie Invonegentsia的水坑。 Hanyecz创建了第一个用于比特币核心的MACOS客户端，这是基于比特币网络的节点的原始且仍然占优势的软件实现。

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最初针对Windows和Linux编码比特币，但是​​Hanyecz的创新也使MacOS设备也可以运行该软件。他的贡献为所有支持MACOS的比特币钱包和应用程序奠定了基础。

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.

但可以说，这比汉尼克斯发现他可以用计算机的图形卡（GPU）挖掘比特币的发现要大。到这一点，早期采用者使用其计算机处理单元（CPU）来开采比特币，并且由于GPU是比CPU强大的数量级，因此这项创新推动了比特币开采的速度要比Satoshi预期的要快得多。

“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帖子中写道：“更新了Mac OS X Binary…它将使用您的GPU生成比特币。如果您拥有像NVIDIA 8800这样的良好GPU或类似的东西，这确实很好。”

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.

该发现点燃了比特币的第一次数字淘金热。到今年年底，比特币的总哈希雷特爆炸量增长了130,000％，这是比特币矿工首次开始建造小规模的采矿农场。这些设置 - 在地下室和阁楼，车库和棚子里拍打在一起 - 是当今占主导地位比特币网络的工业规模比特币采矿农场的原型。

The Pizza was penance

披萨是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的发明非常重要，以至于他本人从Satoshi Nakamoto本人赢得了一个虚拟的下降。随之而来的对话可能激发了Hanyecz著名的披萨日购买。

“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.”

“对新用户的一个很大的吸引力是，拥有计算机的任何人都可以生成一些免费的硬币，” Satoshi写信给Hanyecz。 “ GPU会过早地将激励措施限制在具有高端GPU硬件的人身上。不可避免的是，GPU计算群集最终会猪最终猪，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年对比特币杂志的采访中，Hanyecz告诉我，他“在那之后停止了广告[GPU采矿]。”

“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.

“我当时想，'伙计，我觉得我陷入了您的项目。对不起，伙计。'他担心某些人可能会灰心，因为他们不能用CPU挖掘一个障碍。”

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.

也许这次谈话刺激了Hanyecz在5月15年前的那个命运的日子里为两个大爸爸约翰的披萨提供10,000 BTC。实际上，他不止一次地提出了报价。在2019年的采访中，Hanyecz告诉我，他在随后的一年中花费了近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帖子中写道：“我很久以前就花在了比萨饼上。” “除了一点点数字的变化外，我花了我所挖掘的所有东西。众所周知，难以适应哈希力的力量，因此最终，采矿对我来说是不值得的。”

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在他的第一个BitCointalk帖子上列出的Hanyecz的一个比特币地址，Hanyecz收到并从2010年4月至11月从该地址花费了81,432 BTC。今天，这笔款项的价值将超过86亿美元。

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

没有办法验证Hanyecz是否将所有这些都花在了披萨，其他商品上，或者他是否只是将比特币交给了新的BitCointalk成员，就像许多人那时，当硬币几乎毫无价值的时候。但是他确实在原始线程中提到了
