Just lemme vent it out: shit shit shit shit shit shit shit. Oh shit. Anyways, rationality now kicking in, and until proven otherwise, I'll assume it is not the real Satoshi. Regardless, I think it's fair point this person raises. I'm all for lower fees. In my country, the current transaction fee costs 2 rupees, and I wouldn't buy a 5 rupee lollipop for 7, and raising the blocksize sounded like a quickfix, but it comes at a terrible cost. I can't imagine bitcoin being bitcoin if the blockchain become so hideously large to the point hobbyists couldn't download and run a full node on their pcs. Not to mention the obvious harmful precedence it sets if the lead devs bully their way into a community project (which is the defacto super cryptrocurrency) IMHO the community should put resources into finding a sustainable solution.. lightning networks are a great hack, and i'm waiting on them with bated breath. If you don't know about them, watch the video on this: https://lightning.network/ https://lightning.network/

> Anyways, rationality now kicking in, and until proven otherwise, I'll assume it is not the real Satoshi. Why? So far there hasn't been any evidence pointing towards it not being Satoshi. I mean sure, the prior probability is low, but that's it. it appears to have actually been sent by vistomail to the linux foundation. Unless you want to assume that this was an IP spoofed mail or vistomail was cracked? No evidence of that so far.

  The burden of proof lies on the side trying to prove that it is Satoshi, instead of the side having to disprove it. https://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/burden-of-proof https://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/burden-of-proof An irrefutable proof would be a PGP signed message, but in absence of that and since spoofing a mail is relatively easy, i'll just assume it isn't him unless proven otherwise. Regardless, it really doesn't matter whether it is Satoshi or not because he has nothing to do with the project. I'm just saying that it's a fair point this dude raises.
