Just some lurker of that early mailing list, absorbing knowledge that eventually culminated into the code and paper. The number of unknown great programmers is a lot. What I think is interesting is that it was both code and a paper, not only code. So at least a grad student. And likely someone that starts many projects, because they left after only one year. Something else could have gotten more interesting.
- russianbandit 5y agoUnless they really left… RIP.
- 1ark 5y agoSure, at least today that is more probable and maybe by now they truly did pass on. The range of possibilities are of course endless. But at that time, if we take their statement literally[1] they just moved on to other things. 1. https://plan99.net/~mike/satoshi-emails/thread5.html https://plan99.net/~mike/satoshi-emails/thread5.html
- Graffur 5y agoI wonder what could be more interesting
- atatatat 5y agoSomething else, like staying anonymous and/or alive? Also, academia gauntlet graduates aren't the only ones that can write papers.
