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.
- amingilani 11y agoThe 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.
