What /exactly/ do you remember?
I hung around bad ideas. That was my favorite section. That date doesn't ring a bell... but maybe a possibility I was around
I was a member of TOTSE up until the end. I remember frequently visiting the site from 2004-2009. After TOTSE shutdown, I tried out Zoklet.net and Motherless(guess it's a porn site now?), but it was never the same. Eventually, I stopped posting, stopped visiting, and forgot about it all.
I've known about Bitcoin's existence for at least 10 years. I remember talking about it and people saying, "Stupid fake internet money. That will never work." And here we are today, 100,000 USD.
BTC was some real underground shit back in the day. Nothing like today. No guides, no info, and before the Silk Road really only computer geeks knew about it. Which got me thinking, how did I know? How did I know about BTC?... TOTSE
Hear me out:
January 03 2009 - BTC Genesis Block
January 08 2009 - Block 1 Mined
January 10 2009 - TOTSE Database Crash
January 17 2009 - TOTSE Shutdown
Any old timers around that remember anything interesting?
