It sounds like you know Hal was running a marathon while Satoshi was emailing. Did you also know their stylometry doesn't match?
- WalterBright 2y agoIt's not definitive proof. Stylometry was known at the time, Hal might have changed his. People have been using computer stylometry for years to rule in or out pretenders to be Shakespeare. Emails can be sent with a timer.
- reducesuffering 2y agoHe would've had to mimic someone else in that early crypto-sphere who does match the stylometry much much better. That person was also familiar with Hal's PoW implementation (where Hal mentions it was an implementation of this guy's concept) 3 years before the Bitcoin paper, but attempted to obfuscate that fact.
- School-Cotton 2y agoWhy don’t you stop being coy and say who you think it is?
- reducesuffering 2y agoThere's a reason most people don't mention them, as some of this thread illustrates, sorry.
