Bitcoin Creator Satoshi Nakamoto identified?

  • No, I am Satoshi Nakamoto.

    Look at the evidence:

    1. Requisite level of cryptographic knowledge. I have a doctorate in computer security from Oxford and studied mathematics there as an undergrad.

    2. Male, 40s.

    3. I am fluent in English and often write in a mixture of British and American spellings as does Nakamoto.

    4. My father worked at high level in banking

    5. The first version of Bitcoin was worked on from 2007 to 2009 while I was self-employed and living abroad. Nakamoto's involvement in Bitcoin fades at the same time I went back to full-time work.

  • For a few days, I was thinking that Daniel J. Bernstein could be Satoshi. But after reading more about him, I convinced myself otherwise.

  • jgrahamc, your point is well-taken. I managed to create a convincing, yet superficial, case framing myself as Satoshi Nakamoto too. :)

  • Pretty convincing
