> Are you talking about Paul Le Roux or Craig Wright? Neither. I was talking about Satoshi Nakamoto. It disturbs me that so many people are willing to unmask Satoshi. More generally: It horrifies me that, when confronted with someone who created something neat and only wanted privacy, everyone's instinct is to deprive them of their privacy. What the fuck, humanity?

What the fuck, humanity? I'll be concerned about Satoshi's privacy when privacy is a concept that applies to anyone in modern society. As it is, Satoshi is being treated no differently than anyone else the internet finds interesting.
That's entirely my point.

I'm hearing about the Hungarian notation story for the first time. Just makes it more evident that it's Nick Szabo.
Why?
He explains it in this 1 minute interview. He lived in Hungary until he moved to the US with his parents.

But actually I think we should all respect his privacy - I'm just annoyed when people come up with such odd new ideas that may harm bitcoin's reputation.
Re: New Evidence Suggests Satoshi Nakamoto Is Paul Le Roux
#145Is it really possible to stay anonymous for this long? Nakamoto bought the bitcoin.org domain at one point - we know this for sure. Surely someone can track how this was paid for? Someone running the forum he posted on has IPs it came from. Even if it was through a VPN, that can be traced by going to the host provider, right? This person left a long digital trail. How is this not traceable?
Do registrars accept pre-paid Visa "gift cards" and the like? Those were much less restricted circa 2009, right? (I could be wrong, that's just my general impression)
Re: New Evidence Suggests Satoshi Nakamoto Is Paul Le Roux
#146So sincere question...does this matter? What is added to the social value of bitcoin or cryptocurrency in general? I'm not asking to just dismiss it...just why we are perpetually having/focusing on this discussion is intriguing to me
I dunno, for my part it's interesting to understand that the person who invented Bitcoin also wrote TrueCrypt. That's two "hits".
The article by no means establishes your assertion.
Re: New Evidence Suggests Satoshi Nakamoto Is Paul Le Roux
#147This article states that: "Bitcoin’s initial code had a poker client included." Does anyone have more information about this? I had no idea this was the case.

Hungarian notation has nothing to do with living in Hungary. It's a style of naming variables in which type codes are prefixed to the name, e.g. a variable holding a name might be called lpszName for "long pointer to string terminated with a zero". It's called Hungarian notation because the programmer at Microsoft who came up with it came from Hungary, beyond that there's no connection.

ah ok. Then I take it back;)
