This is not an apology or admission of guilt for conning people with his ridiculous stories. This is an enigmatic exit, complete with him still tacitly claiming to be Satoshi. Quite pathetic.

Is this a suicide note?

How is this not the first thought people had? Poor guy, with a lot of signs of mental instability. The amount of animosity people have had towards him on HN (and elsewhere) isn't tempered by how obviously imbalanced he is. I think it's because of the disproportionate amount of media attention he's received for something he didn't earn.

Yeah, kind of angry after reading that.

It comes as a surprise to me that this is too close to religion.

Some trustworthy people saw Jesus, God and the miracles. Some people did not believe and some people might have claimed that it was fake.

But most people believed it anyway, and it's still believed by a big number of people to date.

Sounds like a suicide note from a distraught individual to me, leaving aside the lack of Satoshi's grammar. I do not know enough about his background to contact the police for a well-being check; does anyone here?

If the real Satoshi is still around, he musst be cringing at all this. The man can't even accurately describe how SHA256 works, yet claims to be the mastermind behind all this. Geee Craig, stop playing silly games. Sign the message or simply stfu.

He is.

I did not expect to be the first one to bring it up. People are being very clinical here.
