The Browser is introducing a new work of serial fiction called "Underflow". It will feature characters such as money-launderers, bankers, scientists, and mobsters. The story will be published twice weekly over the next few months. Readers can opt in or out of receiving newsletters from The Browser. In the first chapter, the main character, Mr. Peters, checks into a hotel in Boston with his personal assistant, Mr. Lipp. Peters is a tech billionaire who recently sold a messaging app called Lynxite. He is working on an experiment in game theory and is looking for privacy during his stay at the hotel. Later, Peters comes up with a solution to the "byzantine generals" problem, which he believes could be applied to coordinating transactions in a digital currency. He shares his idea under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto, and the paper is called "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System".
