Honestly, "Windows-isms" especially in the area bitcoin is developed in reeks far more of industry than it does of academia.
The other oddity in the code is that there is a mixture of US/UK spellings being used, which also suggests more than one person.
Oh, and the pizza thing is another myth, the real monetization was the liberty exchange setting up as market for $/bitcoin exchanges.

- mortallywounded 3y agoThere were plenty of other oddities.. like the skeleton for a poker game in the code? Maybe a test for the digital currency? Maybe underlying motivation? Maybe... who knows.
- bawolff 3y ago> mixture of US/UK spellings being used Maybe he is just canadian. We use a mix.
- poopchute 3y agoWe definitely use a mix of US/UK spellings in Canada. This gets further reinforced when you work a lot with a particular spelling (eg. we use spell 'colour' with the 'u' but every graphics library / css / etc use 'color' so its a toss up on which one I actually type)
