Steganographic techniques were used to hide the initials and last name of the author of the Bitcoin White Paper. The analysis document details how to check the proof yourself.

Step 1. Find any and all errors in the bitcoin.pdf.

Step 2. Notice that [7][2][5] should be [2], [5], [7] conforming to IEEE or Vancouver standards.

Step 3. Use the error as a map: 7 => 2, 2 => 5, 5 => 7

Step 4. Extract the watermark from the references. Reference 7 letter 2 = C, Reference 2 letter 5 = S, Reference 5 letter 7 = W
