First of all, I wouldn't be surprised if you had reasons to try to discredit my claims :). >Doesn't Dai live in Washington...? I don't know. His website says that he's a lecturer at 'Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering Imperial College London, South Kensington Campus'. His current location is irrelevant though, it's only relevant where Wei lived around 2007-2010. Do you have information on that? >And Szabo says he first wrote about Bitgold around then too, so? b-money is quite similar to bitcoin. Satoshi would be familiar with electronic money schemes, maybe even a public author. >Lots of people have written about digital currency over the years. Yes, and? I'm not saying that being an author of a digital currency means the he or she is Satoshi. I'm saying that it's evidence that he or she may be Satoshi, because authors of digital currencies probably want to have said currencies implemented.
