interesting points, thanks. also thanks for your contributions to the project.
i wonder if stylometry could be (was?) applied to C++ code to have better evidence about authorship?
- bhouston 9y agoOnly if other open code exists? Most code produced is not open source. But given he open sourced Bitcoin, he may have open sourced something else. Code style does change over time, I know mine has. But I wonder if there are invariants as well. That would be a fascinating research project.
- keymone 9y agostylometry of just bitcoin source code could at least establish if there was one author or multiple.
