Shockwaves? yawns it doesnt affect me, my bank account, my family, my health or my happiness. Who cares?
The only way there'd be shockwaves is if it turned out to be Theo de Raadt.

#42This appears to be about as useful as mediums, fortune tellers, and alien history hunters.

#43i bet a billion bitcoins that they'll end it with "we have the name, but the individual requested we not publish it"

#44If you're on the edge of your seat, let me dispense with the suspense: Len Sassaman. Anybody who's actually looked into this topic beyond reading someone else's theories and nodding in agreement knows the answer to this question. If the documentary is worth it's salt that will be it's answer as well. No other person who would've been connected to cypherpunk and cryptography groups at that time fits the bill better, a…
It’s so interesting how people are so confident in multiple different people that have known exculpatory issues. Stylometry and code style doesn’t match at all.
Writing stylometry matches close to perfectly, and matches much better than any other proposed person. Double space after period (not uncommon) and a mix of British and american spelling (very uncommon) were the points that sold me on it being him. Disappearance date is compelling as well.

#45There's nothing of substance in the article. I suppose we'll wait and see, but I have no reason to believe there'll be any more accuracy or veracity behind the unmasking that the countless previous attempts. It'll certainly get viewers with articles like this touting it, though.
I don’t know how many other very early wallets have suddenly become active in the last decade, and it could be a complete coincidence, but those wallets being drained is the smallest crumb of evidence that someone’s figured something out in my eyes.

I'm really enjoying the multiple confident assertions that it's different people in this thread. Kind of a spoiler for the documentary I guess: it'll be another confident assertion about someone, with as satisfying a conclusion as all these comments.

Re: Mystery creator of Bitcoin identified, new HBO documentary claims
#48Anybody who has the skills to identify the creator of Bitcoin would not sit on it waiting for an HBO documentary. I'm guessing they're just going to say Hal Finney without any new evidence. Safer than saying Szabo who could push back since he's alive.
Adam Back. Ever notice how anytime anyone mentions his name as possibly being satoshi they get buried? Not a coincidence. Plus Adam had no work history during the dates that Bitcoin was created. Had created the system that bitcoin is based on and never produced the emails of him and Satoshi that supposedly existed. Remember the first email from Satoshi mentions he got "your email from Adam Back". Google also manipula…
Adam is mentioned in the Bitcoin white paper. Would you he have done that if he was Satoshi?
Re: Mystery creator of Bitcoin identified, new HBO documentary claims
#49I know the general public sees Satoshi as somehow the mastermind behind Bitcoin even now, but they aren’t. Bitcoin is open source, being maintained by a team, and its current implementation is the result of a community effort. It’s built on the crucial work Satoshi did, but arresting them or charging them or anything of the sort won’t magically change anything. To the general public who’s never interacted with open s…
Show me a "community effort," and I'll find a leadership hierarchy, influential people, ect.

#50... is it going to claim it's Craig Wright?
That would be hilarious
