I was reminded of how the Library of Congress archived all of early Twitter as a significant cultural record

I reached out to the Internet Archive shortly after the Bitcoin Talk forum was hacked

And since I was involved (with Adam B. Levine) in breaking the BitBills story (which relayed prior art within Bitcointalk.org) I realized that BitcoinTalk.org is of historical significance and serves as a historical record.



Reference: BitBills Attempt to Patent Physical Bitcoins

A Prior Art Notice was recently filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office citing a message on BitcoinTalk: 301 Prior Art Filed Against BitBills Patent

P.S. On November 6 The Internet Archive's book scanning center in San Francisco was badly damaged by fire. You can read more at https://archive.org/donate



Donations are of course accepted in Bitcoin!
