He had to connect with tor right? His brother said he would never admit to being the creator of bitcoin.
Satoshi Nakamoto denies being Dorian Nakamoto

Re: Satoshi Nakamoto denies being Dorian Nakamoto
#12What a crazy bunch of events in the Bitcoin world today. Of course, this isn't necessarily proof that Dorian isn't Satoshi. (I personally don't think that he is, but I guess we'll see.) Regardless, it sure will be nice when the media stops hounding this guy. Especially if he really isn't Satoshi. This could have the potential of completely ruining somebody's life, particularly one who seems rather private like Dorian…
Isn't it convenient that, right when there's a minor cascade of failures in Bitcoin related things, a journalist from Newsweek just happens to figure out who Satoshi Nakamoto must be?

#13Poor guy just wants to be left alone.
Re: Satoshi Nakamoto denies being Dorian Nakamoto
#14Should we change our beliefs based on this post? Based on Dorian's denials today, isn't this post just as likely in the world in which Dorian is Satoshi and the world in which Dorian is not? I don't have a strong belief one way or the other, but this doesn't seem like good evidence.

#15> I am not Dorian Nakamoto.
Is there any way Satoshi could prove this statement? Apart from revealing his identity?

#16So this guy has had a stroke and cancer.
Does anyone care the stress might kill him? I guess not.
How about we leave him alone.

#17At this stage, given the conversation about possible hacking, what would constitute definitive proof that someone is actually Satoshi Nakamoto?
Re: Satoshi Nakamoto denies being Dorian Nakamoto
#18This does not prove that he is not Dorian Nakamoto, it only tells us that he/them is still alive.

They could hold up Dorian and ask Satoshi to post something requiring his key, although that couldn't discard the possibility of Dorian having instructed an acquaintance to do so in case of emergency.
There's really no way to prove (a posteriori) without doubt that someone is or isn't Satoshi, unless there was an encypted message left by him (a priori) saying "My DNA is (...)", to which he provides the key.
