Who is Gavin Andresen?
From Reddit (2015 ): I’m Gavin Andresen, Chief Scientist at the Bitcoin Foundation.
I’m 47 years old and live and work in Amherst, Massachusetts with my wife, two kids and assorted pets.
I was born in Melbourne, Australia as “Gavin Bell” but moved to the US when I was five years old. I grew up in Seattle Washington, Anchorage Alaska and the Santa Ynez Valley, California.
After graduating from Princeton University (Computer Science), I worked at Silicon Graphics Computer Systems for eight years, creating 3D graphics software (Open Inventor and VRML).
My wife and I moved to Madison, Wisconsin after she got her PhD from Stanford. There I wrote a book and co-founded a startup that failed. We moved to Amherst in 1998, where I worked on an Internet Walkie-Talkie, online games for blind and sighted people, tools for Prosper lenders, a web site content management system for Gravity Switch, and part of the back-end for a search engine for computer science research literature.
Phew. That long list makes me feel old.
I first heard about Bitcoin in a May, 2010 InfoWorld article, and started working on Bitcoin-related projects soon after. I’m proud of my contributions:
- I gave away over 10,000 bitcoins through the Bitcoin Faucet
- I created the first alt-coin, the Bitcoin Testnet
- I’ve added 62,000 and removed 76,000 lines of code from Bitcoin Core (I like to simplify)
- I’ve written nine BIPS, including multi-signature transaction support and the Payment Protocol
You can read about what I’ve been working on recently at the Foundation blog.
I try not to let Bitcoin completely take over my life; I spend about eleven evenings a year as an elected member of Amherst Town Meeting. And I still have some time to ride my bicycle or unicycle, use my skeptical skills to debunk the crazy things friends post on Facebook, and read a little science fiction.
You can get an idea of topics I find interesting and how I think at my blog.

2015/05/04 Time to roll out bigger blocks
2015/05/05 Will a 20MB max increase centralization? “I chose 20MB as a reasonable block size to target because 170 gigabytes per month comfortably fits into the typical 250-300 gigabytes per month data cap– so you can run a full node from home on a “pretty good” broadband plan.”
2015/06/22 BIP: 101 This BIP proposes replacing the fixed one megabyte maximum block size with a maximum size that grows over time at a predictable rate.
