I find it stunning when people claim Satoshi to be anyone other than Nick Szabo. Any reasonable person sould come to the conclusion that it is him. There is plenty of direct evedence that points to him.
- mortallywounded 3y agoThere's very little circumstantial evidence pointing to Szabo (there is some). I understand why you believe it to be Szabo. He has the skill set and history in that problem domain... but there's far more circumstantial evidence pointing to someone like Len.
- sho_hn 3y agoIs there a "SatoshiWiki" that enumerates these?
- mortallywounded 3y agoNone that I am aware of... I have spent more hours than I'd like to admit looking into different candidates and putting my own OSINT skills to the test. Perhaps I should create a wiki!
- Stevvo 3y agoHere is Szabo last post about Bitgold before he renamed it to Bitcoin; http://unenumerated.blogspot.com/2008/04/bit-gold-markets.html?m=1#3741843833998921269 http://unenumerated.blogspot.com/2008/04/bit-gold-markets.ht... It describes the architecture of Bitcoin exactly. It is conclusive evidence that Szabo invented Bitcoin.
- gregschlom 3y ago> Here is Szabo last post about Bitgold before he renamed it to Bitcoin; Come to think about it, this Bit gold -> Bitcoin renaming theory would also explain why miners are called miners in Bitcoin. "Minters" (with a t) would be a much more logical name if you started with the coin analogy from the beginning.
- Stevvo 3y agoThey went with the miner analogy because of proof-of-work; the miner does the work.
