Very proud to announce that I am solidly down thirty pounds since Christmas. I've also gotten a lot stronger and built a lot of muscle since then. I've still got, ideally, forty pounds to go, but at least twenty before I'll really be content, until I hit my goal. But I was 360 lbs, or about 163 kilos, when I moved back to NY in Feb 2015. So, since them, I'm down about 95 lbs, or 43 kilos. I'm currently weighing in at about 265 lbs, or about 120 kilos. Feeling very proud about that accomplishment!

I haven't lost any weight and I haven't attempted to exercise or eat better, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

This is interesting. This is a local company that has done some good and some bad to the local community.

I never bought into the idea that Satoshi was the inventor...
I also never investigated it that heavily either.

Well, Satoshi is the inventor, but Satoshi is Craig Wright.
-
@tonyshowoff Satoshi (the Asian guy) as being the inventor.
I remember for months the media hounded him to try and get him to say he was. Which means Mr Wright should've stepped in and ended it then.
That's harassment caused from inaction.

But he IS the inventor. Satoshi is the code name of the inventor, whoever the inventor is.

Well Dorian Satoshi was blamed because he had a similar name, which I always thought was stupid to begin with. That's like if I used the name James Woods and they blamed the actor for something I did without even bothering. Reading the documentation or any of the early stuff it was pretty clear it was not a Japanese person. Though obviously a huge Japanophile nerd for using a Japanese alias.
-
@scottalanmiller the picture of the Asain guy in the BBC article, news outlets hounded him for months, when he is not the inventor because of false information.
Mr. Wright was using his name as a cover for the Bitcoin operation.

Craig Wright called himself Satoshi Nakamoto in his original documentation and implementation of BitCoin, Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto was later blamed by people who thought "similar name, must be the same guy."

@tonyshowoff Yes I know.
That's my point, without all of the details. Wrong dude was hounded just because of misinformation.
