Anecdotally, I think I remember that incident, but unfortunately I don't remember precisely where I heard it.
There have been a lot of very-wrong analyses of the blockchain which have gotten people riled up about one thing or another and then turned out to be bogus. The whole process has sometimes shown unsettling parallels with numerology. It's good that nwh is reminding everyone to try to be as skeptical as possible.
It'll be interesting to see whether the evidence turns out to match the story.
- maaku 13y agoThe only incident I can think of was a paper by Adi Shamir and Dorit Ron claiming Satoshi had a connection to Silk Road, and the actual owner of the coins (Dustin Trammell) came forward and demonstrated that (a) the coins were his and (b) the transaction was with MtGox not Silk Road. Gregory Maxwell was not involved in any way: http://blog.dustintrammell.com/2013/11/26/i-am-not-satoshi/ http://blog.dustintrammell.com/2013/11/26/i-am-not-satoshi/ I know of no other incident involving mis-identification of Satoshi's stash.
