It's a weak tie between Szabo and Satoshi. Both write in cryptographer/academic/cypherpunk style. That's true of plenty of other likely Satoshis. Most of the specific phrases which link the two are fairly standard phrases within the community.
I do think Szabo is in a top-100 list of Satoshi candidates, and the most damning linkage is Satoshi's failure to cite Szabo, but it's far from conclusive.
- jnbiche 13y agoYes, but there are a few other things that I'm thinking about writing about. They may not implicate Szabo conclusively, but it's pretty clear (to me, at least) that Satoshi is an academic. In any case, it's not Dorian Nakamoto. I'm sorry he's having to endure this scrutiny (especially after what he and his family went through during WWII).
- rdl 13y agoIt could easily be an academic who is outside academia (e.g. Zooko), or a team of academic + non-academic.
