The evidence for Adam Back being Satoshi Nakamoto is pretty damning. Notably, he developed Hashcash which was the predecessor technology, has a mysterious gap in published papers during the period of bitcoins development, was heavily involved in the cypherpunk scene, and founded/runs the company Blockstream which does a large amount of development work on Bitcoin core.
- RustyRussell 3y agoPlease don't do this. He's repeatedly denied it, and your ignorant claim can only bring him and his family trouble. (Also, I've known Adam for a number of years and I can personally vouch that it's not him!)
- mightyham 3y agoI can and will continue to say that he is probably Satoshi because there is a large amount of evidence for that being the case. In the past, Adam elaborated reasons why he thinks it's good for bitcoin that Satoshi be anonymous and he has a large vested interest in the success of bitcoin (his business), so his public (and according to you private) denial is really not good evidence one way or the other.
