I wish people would respect satoshi's wish of anonymity. Having probably the only concentration of wealth over $100M not guarded by a full security detail, it could very well lead to not only his own harm, but perhaps his family members being kidnapped, etc. That is not even to mention the bilderberg/rothschild/etc. type of people that probably aren't big fans.

There are something like 5,000 families in the US worth more than $100M, the majority don't have private security, don't worry about kidnappings, and don't take any real actions to protect themselves from the Bilderbergs (?)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I think a very small amount of stylometric analysis would cast a lot of doubt on this theory. Satoshi's grammar is always perfect. His sentences are tight. He's clear and to the point. Wright rambles; his grammar is terrible; he seems to have no idea what a comma is for. Scanning his blog for a minute, he comes across as the kind of slightly dotty kook who would try to convince people he's Satoshi with this kind of "…

Not only grammar, but Wright's writings are full of typos and spelling errors, which occur at a remarkable rate, to the extent that he can't spell Silicon Valley! (he spelled it as "silicone valley"). I never once saw Satoshi make a spelling error. That said, the rest of the evidence is pretty compelling, isn't it? Satoshi did once say he wasn't all that good with words, despite evidence to the contrary. Perhaps this…

I'm really wondering why the author of bitcoin would hide their identity? Don't want the attention? Plenty of innovative people are simply footnotes in history. Or is the true origin of this digital currency a dubious agency, who if revealed would stop people from wanting to use it? Is it a second try at Amero? http://forextrading.about.com/od/forexhistory/a/amero_conspi...

I would have done the same thing. People are insane, can you imagine what they would do to the inventor of digital money? (I realize Satoshi is not that, but a lot of people will think he/she is.)

Also Gizmodo was separately leaked to, it seems, has a bunch of screenshots http://gizmodo.com/this-australian-says-he-and-his-dead-frie... if it's a hoax, seems like an awfully long and meticulous one. [edit - Dang this fell off front page fast! Thought this one was going to be almost Steve Jobs in terms of having a life of its own]
