Satoshi's account on p2pfoundation.ning.com also made the first comment since he said "I am not Dorian Nakamoto." back in March. It says:

"Dear Satoshi. Your dox, passwords and IP addresses are being sold on the darknet. Apparently you didn't configure Tor properly and your IP leaked when you used your email account sometime in 2010. You are not safe. You need to get out of where you are as soon as possible before these people harm you. Thank you for inventing Bitcoin."

Hackers have changed bitcoin's description to read: Buttcoin is a peer-to-peer butt. Peer-to-peer means that no central authority issues new butts or tracks butts. These tasks are managed collectively by the network. It’s like a bitcoin, but with butts instead.

Starting to wish these guys would hire writers. So much more exposure for saying something clever or funny... but no. Butts.

Buttcoin.org is also a satirical blog that mocks the extremely vested segments of the Bitcoin community: http://buttcoin.org/

I used to read it at one time, and it was actually often the voice of reason in a sea of anarcho-capitalist pipe dreams, but I don't know about its present state.

Butts are always funny

So could someone explain how an IP address would leak when using an email account? I suppose potentially in the SMTP header, but this would assume he was using a email server running on his own personal ip, right?

So is the guess here (assuming this is even true) that he had an email server running at home, leaked the ip, and then was attacked when someone found it?
