Someone signed into the actual Satoshi's account where the original Bitcoin announcement was made and left a comment on March 7 that Dorian is not Satoshi. Presumably this is actually Satoshi.
I've been surprised no one else has picked up on this.
- binxbolling 13y agoMany people have picked up on it, which is why I've read it in multiple places. It's noteworthy, but less so than you seem to imply: a denial is exactly what we would expect if Dorian was Satoshi, and if Dorian was not Satoshi. So it's all the other evidence, in my opinion, that damns Newsweek, and not the post from Satoshi.

- aestra 13y agoWhat? It has been on the HN front page - the day it happened. It was also mentioned in the article. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7358150 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7358150
