| I think they legitimately did not know. The person who worked on it directly, Jerry Solinas, did not remember and gave an explanation that turned out to be wrong. In his defense, multiple people told the same story about hashing a phrase that was wrong. If they did know, they could have handed over these timestamps 15 years ago and put the issue to bed. |
