Bitcoin creator slapped with $10 billion lawsuit

News Items
Bitcoin creator slapped with $10 billion lawsuit Craig Wright, the Australian who has previously claimed to be Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto, is the subject of a multi billion dollar lawsuit. Wright is being sued by the estate of David Kleiman, who was thought to have co-created the cryptocurrency with the Australian.

Idera, SQL Tips

The diagram can be used as a blueprint for the construction of new software or for re-engineering a legacy application. Traditionally, data models have been built during the analysis and design phases of a project to ensure that the requirements for a new application are fully understood. A data model can be thought of as a flowchart that illustrates the relationships between data. Although capturing all the possible relationships in a data model can be very time-intensive, it's an important step that shouldn't be rushed.
