I just assumed "Satoshi Nakamoto" was an alias for a small group of people all working on the same code base/idea.

  That seems unlikely. The original code base was fairly small and very much reads like one person was responsible for writing it. Also, the more people who know a secret the less likely it is to be kept.

    This is true, but having multiple people involved makes it every difficult to pinpoint one true source. Plus, when I say multiple people I mean 2-3 or 3-4. Not like a big operation. And if these small number are so paranoid about privacy and identity that they invented Bitcoin, I would expect them to be able to keep a secret. I just find it hard to believe there isn't a single soul walking on this planet right now that has any idea who Satoshi Nakamoto is/was.

    Satoshi seems to have delved in the dark art technique of print output debugging: https://github.com/Maguines/Bitcoin-v0.1/blob/2c7a4c9bbb793c5029fc9363d504944b62f1ec4d/bitcoin0.1/src/db.cpp#L452-L456 https://github.com/Maguines/Bitcoin-v0.1/blob/2c7a4c9bbb793c...
