If you really found the identity of Satoshi, wouldn't it make far more sense to contact him privately and blackmail him? He's got, what, one and a half million bitcoins?
- Aqueous 12y agoPerhaps out of some twisted sense of honor the individual in question feels that blackmailing such a mysterious and (among hackers) revered figure would be unseemly. Although if this account is true it seems like he might be blackmailing him anyway.
