2009年，當時還在赫爾辛基理工大學讀本科二年級的Martti Malmi@marttimalmi偶然瀏覽到bitcoin.org，他給中本聰發郵件寫道：“I would like to help with Bitcoin, if there's something I can do （我想幫比特幣，如果有什麼事是我能做的話）。
In 2009, Martti Malmi@mattimalmi, who was also in his second year of undergraduate studies at the University of Technology in Helsinki, accidentally went to bitcoin.org, and he wrote to Nakamoto: "I would like to help with Bitcoin, if there #39;s something I can do (I want to help Bitcoin if anything I can do).
有一說一，這真是挺草率的應徵郵件。但從此，命運的齒輪開始轉動。
One said, it's a rather hasty response to the mail. But since then, the wheels of fate have started to turn.
Martti Malmi，成為中本聰的第一個合作者，也是中本聰最信任的人，並從此被比特幣改變了人生。幣圈一直有大學生「All in」的致富傳說，那Martti 必然是這個傳說的祖師爺。
Martti Malmi, the first partner and most trusted partner of Nakamoto, has since been changed by the bitcoin. The currency circle has always been rich as a college student, All in, and Martti must be the grandfather of the legend.
上個月， 他公開了與中本聰的電子郵件歷史記錄（https://mmalmi.github.io/satoshi/），讓我們能以更多的視角去回顧比特幣這波瀾壯闊的歷史。以下是OneKey 的一些有趣發現。
Last month, he made public his email history with Nakamoto (https://mmalmi.github.io/satoshi/), allowing us to go back to the bloated history of bitcoins with more perspective. Here are some of the interesting findings of OneKey.
就像當年大多數新創公司一樣，他們搶注「bitcoin.org」域名，進行了大量關於產品特性、UI（使用者介面）、網站等的討論。
Like most of the start-up companies in the year, they took the domain name "bitcoin.org" and engaged in a lot of discussions about product characteristics, UI (user interfaces), websites, etc.
與當時的創業氛圍很不同的是，工作都是郵件溝通，沒有人看過老闆「中本聰」。而如今加密產業遠距工作已普及，各大加密公司如幣安、Paradigm，包括我們OneKey 等都不同程度的採用了全球協作。
Unlike the atmosphere at the time, jobs were e-mailed, and no one saw the boss’s ‘Middleton’. And now the encryption industry’s remote work is widespread, with major encryption companies such as MoneyAnn, Paradigm, including our OneKey, using global agreements to varying degrees.
這是中本聰給大學生Martti Malmi 佈置的第一個遠距工作任務－FAQ（常見問題）。中本聰說目前網站最需要的是一些寫作內容，而他「不擅長寫作，更擅長寫程式碼」。原文翻譯：「你可以考慮在SourceForge 上搭建一個網站，目前那裡還沒內容。如果你能準備一份FAQ，我可以整理我之前在郵件和論壇裡回答的內容給你，這樣可以幫你獲取所所需的資訊和靈感。
This is the first long-range job - FAQ (a common question) - set up for the university student Martti Malmi. He said that what is needed most at the site is writing, and that he is "not good at writing, but better at writing." The original translation: "You can consider setting up a website on SourceForge, where there is no content. If you can prepare a FAQ, I can sort out what I have answered in the mail and forum, so that you can get the information and inspiration you need.
中本聰顯然是個好老闆，認真思考一個毛頭大學生Martti 的建議。這裡中本聰像一個產品經理一樣，在討論比特幣核心客戶端「最小化托盤」和「開機啟動」的特性。和當時很多的電腦程式一樣，大家都在爭取用戶使用，降低「用戶流失率」。當然，比特幣採用這個「心機」是為了更多人運行全節點，讓早期的網路更安全。原文翻譯：
Nakamoto is obviously a good boss, thinking seriously about the advice of a hairy college student, Martti. Like a product manager, he discusses the characteristics of the "minimizing tray" and "open starter" on the Bitcoin core client. Like many computer programs at the time, everyone is competing for user use, reducing the "user loss" rate. Of course, Bitco’s use of this "heart" is to run the entire node for more people and make the early Internet safer.
「接下來我計劃加入一個讓比特幣程式能在Windows 上啟動時自動運行，並且可以最小化到系統托盤的功能，這樣就能顯著增加在線節點的數量。
"I plan to add a bitcoin program that will run automatically on Windows when it starts, and that will minimize the functionality of the system tray, which will make it possible to increase the number of nodes on the line.
回想起來，你確實指出了一個目前極為關鍵的缺失功能，這個功能有潛力大大增加節點數。如果沒有自動啟動，我們很難在使用者初次嘗試後留住他們。正如早期文件共享網路成功的秘訣，讓程式自動運行並預設隱藏至系統托盤至關重要。雖然在我們的第一個版本（v0.1.0）時，由於穩定性尚未得到保證，引入這項功能似乎不太恰當。但現在，隨著程式已經變得足夠穩定，這項功能成為了我們下一版必須添加的特性，以確保那些願意嘗試新版本的用戶能有更好的體驗並且願意繼續使用。 」
In retrospect, you do point to a missing function that is now extremely critical, and which has the potential to significantly increase the number of nodes. Without self-starting, it is difficult for us to retain users after the first attempt. Just as the early file-sharing network has been successful, allowing programs to run automatically and default to hide to the system tray is important. It does not seem appropriate to introduce this function at the time of our first version (v0.1.0), because stability has not yet been guaranteed. But now, as the program has become stable enough, this feature has become a feature that we must add to the next edition to ensure that users who are willing to try new versions have better experience and are willing to continue to use it.”
身為「創業家」，中本聰也不免和Martti 吐槽那些「連程式碼都沒有」確熱度拉滿的網路創業計畫。
As a ‘inventor’, Nakamoto and Martti are talking about Internet start-up projects that are so hot that they don’t even have a code.
在下面這篇郵件裡，中本聰認為SourceForge 的功能已經無法滿足比特幣論壇，需要換個論壇服務供應商。同時吐槽道：「我已經看到一些專案僅憑藉論壇的討論和規劃就吸引了大量關注，儘管他們還沒有開始編寫任何程式碼。論壇上的討論為專案提供了一個曝光平台，吸引了新用戶，幫助解決支援問題，梳理出最需要的功能。
In the following e-mail, he believes that SourceForge is no longer capable of satisfying the Bitcoat forum and needs to be replaced by a forum service provider. Meanwhile, he says: "I have seen projects that attract much attention only through discussion and planning at the forum, even though they have not started to compile any code. The discussion at the forum provides an exposure platform for the project, attracts new users, helps solve support problems, and develops the functions most needed.
在新創公司的行銷上，中本聰也不完全是那種極端「極客」主義的人。他在這封郵件裡有提到官網的宣傳點「匿名」有點讓人覺得太可疑，認為他們這個點可以是大家私底下知道就行。
In the marketing of start-up companies, it is not exactly the extreme "extremist" type of person. His reference in this e-mail to the "faceless" propaganda point of the official network is somewhat suspicious, believing that they can be known in private.
原文翻譯：「「匿名」這個詞聽起來有點可疑。我認為那些想要匿名的人還是能自己弄明白，無需我們大肆宣揚。我對bitcoin.org 首頁做了一些修改。更新翻譯並不真的緊急。
I think those who want to be anonymous can still figure out for themselves that there is no need for us to spread it. I made some changes to the home page of bitcoin.org. The update is not really urgent.
在郵件溝通中，中本聰多次表示不想成為拋頭露臉的人（儘管最終絕大多數人記得的，還是中本聰）。他鼓勵Martti 使用他的真實姓名和地址。要求Martti 使用他自己的信用卡/ 身分證辦伺服器和銀行帳戶。
In the e-mail communication, Ben has repeatedly stated that he does not want to be the one to show his face (though most people remember it at last. He has encouraged Martti to use his real name and address. Martti is required to use his own credit card/I.D. server and bank account.
假如你是Martti，會不會被嚇得「跑路」？
If you were Martti, would you be scared to run?
原文翻譯：「我收到了一份2000 美元的捐贈請求。但是我需要你的郵寄地址才能讓他寄出。是的，他（捐贈者）希望保持匿名，所以也請保護信封來源的隱私。」
The original translation: "I have received a request for a donation of $2,000, but I need your mailing address in order for him to send it. Yes, he wishes to remain anonymous, so protect the privacy of the envelope."
在一些比特幣宣傳點的說辭上，中本聰也讓Martti 來代發言，同時提醒了一些行銷風險。原文翻譯：
On some of the bitcoins' propaganda points, China has asked Martti to speak on his behalf, reminding them of the risks of marketing.
「在sourceforge的網站上，你能發表很多在我自己的網站上不能說的觀點。然而，直白地提出『將比特幣視為一種投資』這一點，我還是感到有些不妥。這種說法頗有風險，你最好去掉這一觀點。
"On the website of Sourceforge, you can put out a lot of points that I can't say on my own website. However, I still feel a little bit wrong to put forward the idea of considering bitcoins as an investment. There are risks to that proposition, and you better get rid of it.
老闆中本聰突然消失一個月，還是Martti 扛下了論壇營運。原文翻譯：「過去一個半月我也忙於其他事務。我剛從四月初開始下載我的電子郵件。我大部分事情都處理好了，應該很快會回到比特幣的工作中。很高興看到你在我不在的時候處理了一些事情。
Ben's boss suddenly disappeared for a month, or Martti took over the forum. The original translation: "I've been busy with other things for the past month and a half. I just started downloading my e-mails since early April. I've done most of the work, and I should be back in bitcoin soon. I'm glad to see you've done something while I'm gone.
中本聰也預見如果比特幣進入主流，一定會使用大量的能源。這或許在當時是很「爆炸」的觀點：銀行系統，比PoW 更浪費資源。
China also predicted that it would use a lot of energy if Bitcoins entered the mainstream. This might have been an "exploitation" point: the banking system is more expensive than PoW.
「如果我們最終不得不在經濟自由和節約資源之間做出選擇，那真是太諷刺了。
“It would be ironic if we finally had to choose between economic freedom and financial savings.
遺憾的是，工作證明是我找到的唯一能夠在沒有可信任第三方的情況下讓點對點電子現金系統運作的解決方案。即便我沒有將其作為初步分配貨幣的輔助方式，工作證明對於協調網路和防止重複支付仍然至關重要。
Unfortunately, the work proved to be the only solution I could find that would allow a point-to-point electronic cash system to operate without trusting third parties. Even if I did not use it as an aid for the initial distribution of currency, the work proved to be important for coordinating the network and preventing duplicate payments.
如果它真的開始消耗大量能源，我認為這樣的能源消耗仍然比它要替代的那些勞動力和資源消耗大的傳統銀行活動要少。其成本會比銀行費用少很多，銀行費用高達數十億美元，用於支付所有的磚石建築、摩天樓和無用的信用卡促銷郵件。 」
If it really starts to consume a lot of energy, I think it still consumes less energy than the conventional banks that it replaces with labor and capital. The cost is much less than the cost of a bank, which spends billions of dollars to pay for all brick construction, skyscrapers, and useless credit cards to promote mail.”
我們都知道，2010 年12 月12 日，中本聰最後一次在比特幣論壇上發文討論了DoS（拒絕服務攻擊）後，就停止了論壇活動。而這並不是中本聰最後一封郵件。
As we all know, on December 12, 2010, when Nakamoto last wrote about DoS on the Bitcoin Forum, he stopped the forum. This is not the last e-mail from Nakamoto.
一個月後，在這篇中本聰發給Gavin Andresen 的郵件（副本給了Martti）中，中本聰再次確認他不想參與任何的媒體公關內容與訪談。而且這裡可以看到，中本聰十分擔憂比特幣成長過快，導致各種功能、攻擊防禦等需求無法被滿足。同時他們對輿論的狂熱感到擔憂，當時出現了一些非官方的比特幣代言人進行過度吹噓，甚至宣傳會取代Paypal 甚至是歐元。他們希望在媒體中更強調比特幣是一個前沿的測試，還沒到大規模應用的程度。
A month later, in an e-mail sent to Gavin Andresen (a copy of which was sent to Martti), China confirmed once again that he did not want to engage in any media public relations content or interviews. And here, it can be seen that the need for the Bitcoin to grow too fast, causing various functions, attacks, etc., could not be met. At the same time, they were worried about the hysteria of the debate, when a number of unofficial Bitcoins spokesmen overtook and even announced that they would replace Paypal or even the Euro.
再過一個月，這是中本聰發給Martti 的最後一封郵件，安排了一些管理員密碼的事宜，便又消失了，這一告別，就是13 年，且大概率再也見不到了。
In another month, this was the last e-mail that Nakamoto sent to Martti, arranged for the operator's password, and disappeared again, and it was 13 years, and probably never again.
中本聰的消失充滿了傳奇色彩，但是在這些郵件裡，我們看到了中本聰更親近一面，似乎「神」並不是遙不可及，似乎他就在我們身邊，彷彿人人都是中本聰。
The disappearance of Nakamoto is full of legends, but in these e-mails, we see the closeness of Nakamoto, as if the word "God" was not out of reach, as if he were with us, as if everyone was.
Martti 的故事也並非鏡花水月，新的一波牛市浪潮，我們又將見證多少「大學生」傳奇？
Martti's story is not a mirror moon, it's a new wave of cattle, and how many of the legends of "students" we're going to witness?
