The tale of haircomb

Gather round bag holders, gather round new friends. Let's put your tiny bags aside I'm gonna tell you a story.

Long time ago when Nakamoto still ruled in his sourceforge kingdom, roughly around when Craig Wright bought his first bits on MtGox that was the time I've found BitCoin.

To me it was a strange paradox that money could exist virtually, without any form or shape. There was a site, Instawallet, that lets anyone to open, what I thought to be an account for these Bitcoins. And so I've started collecting them.

Back then I lacked the mind picture of the Bitcoin and complexity landscape. It didn't matter to me the tiniest bit how it operates or how come there are numbers so big that noone can guess them. It was (to me) simply a bet that if these guys are right, i can profit from this as well.

Fast forward Natasha creates Haircomb in late 2019. I grabbed the white paper right away. On first reading I've had mixed feelings about it, I wanted to throw it to the dust bin. A replacement for the ecdsa? No thank you, it works for more than 10 years and still not even cracked. What intrigued me to it was that it promised a simple way to scale bitcoin.

The first comb wallets were closed source. I ran one on one of my day job laptop that was unused at the time. Tried to disassemble them, but the binaries were stripped, clearly, the author who called herself Natasha Otomoski knew what they were doing.
