"Name" is maybe not quite right, "Satoshi Nakomoto" is the creator's pseudonym. The actual author of the bitcoin whitepaper is unknown and the subject of much speculation.
I'm sure OP knows this, I'm just being pedantic.
- knocte 9y agoStrictly speaking, it's not known if the name is a pseudonym either. There are people in the world that have that name and they haven't denied being the creator.
- lstyls 9y agoIf it is said author's name, why have they not publicly claimed to be this Satoshi? Name one such individual who has credibly been considered to have invented bitcoin.
- phaemon 9y agoYou want the name of the Satoshi Nakomoto who is most likely to be the Satoshi Nakomoto? The name? That's what you want? Are you sure you've thought this through?
- dragonwriter 9y agoA pseudonym is a kind of name, so “name” is entirely correct, if not entirely complete (though, AFAIK, it is as complete as is known to be correct, since it is only widely presumed, rather than known, that the name is a pseudonym.)
