There has been a lot of guesses as to who Satoshi is and this is the first time (I believe) he has come out and denied it.
Which makes the accusation worse as it adds credibility.
- Dosenpfand 13y agoDo we know with a certainty that it was him who denied it? I think the real Satoshi would have at least signed the message.
- hackerboos 13y agoApparently the account is linked to the original Bitcoin paper. Timestamps can be edited though, it depends on the integrity of the site itself.
- berberous 13y agoOccam's razor says it is him. I don't think Satoshi ever signed any of his messages, so why start now? Especially when the Newsweek article is so clearly based on such extraordinarily flimsy evidence, that really, his denial should be enough.
- danielweber 13y agoIt's the first time that an introverted guy has been "accused" and then hounded by the press about it, though. (I'm not trying to give a definite answer either way here.)
