- garmaine 5y agoHal Finney was not Satoshi, and there's not a single shred of evidence in that wiki article pointing towards him. Instead it's just his grieving family being traumatized by scammers.
- hihihihi1234 5y agoThe evidence is circumstantial but not conclusive. Did Finney ever explain how he came to be the recipient of the first ever Bitcoin transaction if he wasn't Satoshi? Who do you think is Satoshi, if not Finney?
- garmaine 5y agoThere is nothing to explain, it is public knowledge. The transaction you mention happened after the public announcement of bitcoin on a mailing list which Hal Finney was active on, and after Satoshi reached out directly to Hal (and others).
