On “Guy claims to have evidence of who Satoshi Nakamoto is.”

I was sure too about Hal Finney until i saw this video 0. There are a few more references that it is more likely that Adam Back could be Satoshi. 0 link to this video

On “Federated E-Cash as a Bitcoin Scaling Technology”

I think the US government would already know who Satoshi is due to bulk email collection via PRISM and stylometry. I don’t know why you think Satoshi broke any US laws. The following video painted quite a compelling story of why Adam Beck is Satoshi: link to this video

On “Another court case fails to unlock the mystery of Bitcoin’s Satoshi Nakamoto”

Don't see anything on HN mentioning Adam Back getting called out as being Satoshi and the massive campaign launched to disprove this. One of the only people who isn't attempting to capitalize on the claim, but who directly benefits from Bitcoin's flaws. In a case of a white knight turning to the dark side. Part 3: link to this video The conspiracy YouTuber making the claim was attacked and slandered heavily after making the claim despite convincing evidence that wasn't disproven: 1 Same English typing mannerisms 2 Misspelling the same words 3 A conspicuous gap in his career while Bitcoin was being developed 4 entering the bitcoin scene in forums very early acting authoritative Not to mention 5 A histor…

On “Digital forgeries are hard”

Surprised that noone mentioned Barely Sociable video on Satoshi Nakamoto1 (last of a 3-part series). Pretty strong arguments as to why Adam Back is Satoshi, the amount of coincidences is just way too many IMO. Craig Wright is definitely not Satoshi, the guy has some issues and so keeps claiming that he is. 1 link to this video

On “Who Is Satoshi Nakamoto? My Quest to Unmask Bitcoin's Creator”

Someone already found this years ago: link to this video I haven't read the full article yet but I'm guessing they didn't give credit, as the New York Times tends to do. Not definitive but it's a very convincing case.

On “Are blockchains decentralized?”

…s more transactions. I believe several newer core developers staged a coup to prevent this from happening, despite several of the longer-term contributors being in favour of it. The original contributors (sans satoshi, who was mostly inactive at this point), had their access to the git repositories revoked. This video goes into a bit more detail ( link to this video ) but basically the people opposing a larger blocksize had financial incentives.. a lot were in bed with a company called Blockstream which benefits from their development on sidechains (now the lightning network). Had the block-size been increased, Bitcoin would be much more useful as a means of exchange (more transactions would be process…

On “Jack Dorsey called out as Satoshi Nakamoto”

Who invented Bitcoin? Paul LeRoux - "He Paul LeRoux also invented E4M the predecessor to Truecrypt, the encryption software NSA still can't crack. E4M was released the same exact way the BTC whitepaper was released. Fun fact: he is from Zimbabwe and was there during the '08 hyperinflation that created the $100 Trillion Dollar Bill, BTC was created the next year." 0 Shinichi Mochizuki - Ted Nelson speculated that Sinichi Mochuzuki is Santoshi. Len Sassaman - "I'm pretty certain Satoshi's identity is known, although not publicly stated and/or confirmed by anyone. I believe a handful of the early developers had very strong suspicion as to who was behind the name, but never pursued a confirm…
