我目前正在阅读你的论文。在时间戳服务器 一节中，你提到了报纸和 Usenet，所以如果你还没见过这个， 我想你可能会感兴趣：
谢谢，我之前还没见过这个。它看起来呈现得非常好。有一个更早的服务已经运行了很长时间，会把它的哈希发布到 Usenet。令我惊讶的是，这个服务没有使用 Usenet，不过如今要以自动化方式获得向 Usenet 发帖的权限确实有些困难。如果他们能让杂志或报纸刊登他们的哈希，就其目的而言，在法庭上会容易奏效得多。比特币和所有时间戳服务器都有一项共同的基本功能：定期把事物收集到区块中，再对其进行哈希处理，形成一条链。
顺便说一下，我目前也正在自己的一台工作站上运行 Alpha 版代码。到目前为止，它出现了两条“Generated”消息，但它们的“Credit”字段是 0.00，余额也没有变化。这是因为币必须满足存续时间/成熟度要求才会有效吗？
对，“Credit”字段会一直保持为 0.00，直到币成熟，届时它会变成 50.00。你觉得如果我在币成熟前把“Credit”字段留空，会不会更清楚？我应该在交易详情里（双击它时）放一些文字，解释其运作方式。（可以双击一行查看详情，这一点明显吗？）
如果你还没有升级，请务必升级到 v0.1.3。这个版本确实已经让一切稳定下来。

I'm currently reading through your paper. At the timestamp server section you mention newspapers and usenet, so I thought you might be interested in this if you have not seen it already:
Thanks, I hadn't seen that yet. It looks very well presented. There was an older one that's been running for a long time that publishes its hashes to Usenet. I'm surprised this one isn't using Usenet, although it is kind of difficult to get access to post to Usenet in an automated way these days. If they can get a magazine or newspaper to publish their hashes, it would work a lot easier in court for their purposes. Bitcoin and all timestamp servers share the basic functionality of periodically collecting things into blocks and hashing them into a chain.
By the way, I'm also currently running the alpha code on one of my workstations. So far it has two "Generated" messages, however the "Credit" field for those is 0.00 and the balance hasn't changed. Is this due to the age/maturity requirement for a coin to be valid?
Right, the credit field stays 0.00 until it matures, then it'll be 50.00. Do you think it would be clearer if I left the credit field blank until it matures? I should put some text in the transaction details (when you double click on it) explaining how it works. (was it obvious you can doubleclick on a line for details?)
Be sure to upgrade to v0.1.3 if you haven't already. This version has really stabilized things.
