This paper detailed methods of using a peer-to-peer network to generate what was described as "a system for electronic transactions without relying on trust". Later that year, on 31 October, a link to a paper authored by Satoshi Nakamoto titled Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System was posted to a cryptography mailing list. On the 18th of August 2008, the domain name was registered. In the bit gold proposal which proposed a collectible market-based mechanism for inflation control, Nick Szabo also investigated some additional aspects including a Byzantine fault-tolerant agreement protocol based on quorum addresses to store and transfer the chained proof-of-work solutions, which was vulnerable to Sybil attacks, though. Hal Finney developed reusable proof of work (RPOW) using hashcash as its proof of work algorithm. The first proposals for distributed digital scarcity-based cryptocurrencies were Wei Dai's b-money and Nick Szabo's bit gold. The idea was independently rediscovered by Adam Back who developed hashcash, a proof-of-work scheme for spam control in 1997. The idea that solutions to computational puzzles could have some value was first proposed by cryptographers Cynthia Dwork and Moni Naor in 1992. Prior to the release of bitcoin, there were a number of digital cash technologies, starting with the issuer-based ecash protocols of David Chaum and Stefan Brands. ![]() From the mid-2010s, some businesses began accepting bitcoin in addition to traditional currencies.

Originally designed as a medium of exchange, Bitcoin is now primarily regarded as a store of value.
