    The code is written in C++ and the latest versions of bitcoin have A LOT of code which is hard to get your head around. I have personally created a cryptocurrency from scratch so I understand the process of learning how bitcoin works from a technical point of view and understanding the code behind it. What I'd recommend for you is to have a look at the original code published by Satoshi Nakamoto (here's a link https://github.com/Maguines/Bitcoin-v0.1/tree/master/bitcoin0.1) and try to understand what the code does. It's really not rocket science for a decent programmer, unlike the modern versions of bitcoin which have been developed by hundreds of people, and would give you a really good start.

    > I still think it was Hal Finney

    Finney didn't mix British and American English the way Satoshi did in his writing.

    Finney was also an experienced and much better developer[0] than Satoshi[1]
