“Hi Satoshi – I tried running bitcoin.exe from the 0.1.0 package, and it crashed. I am running on an up to date version of XP, SP3. The debug.log output is attached.”
Satoshi acknowledges the error and fixes the bug. He releases new version 0.1.2

“These problems are kind of screwing up the network and will get worse as more users arrive, so please make sure to upgrade.”
Debug Log
In the initial days of Bitcoin, the software used IP address to send and receive bitcoins. For this reason the debug log becomes crucial for the investigation. It reveals IP’s of 3 users who were connected to the IRC. This happened on 2009-01-10. Satoshi and Hal were the only two people working on the project during that time.

This is not a TOR exit node which implies that this is the IP address used by Satoshi on 2009-01-10 and he was in Van Nuys on this day. It is very much possible that he might be from california. The state of california got many Nakamoto families living and settled there.
Google doesn’t have much information about the IP except one post from a Coach dated Oct 19, 2008. Satoshi was using ADSL connection and the IP could be assigned to anyone by the ISP on any given day. It is highly unlikely that this user has anything to do with Satoshi.

League by Vista Coach ( Ed Matheus)
We thought that there were some problems with the new rangers at Guajome, so the league meet was moved to Kit Carson for this year. The problems with the rangers have been worked out and hope the league meet will be back a Guajome next year.
