Re:Hal Finney Was Not Satoshi Nakamoto on Sunday October 22, 2023 @08:05AM (#37974636)
Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson believes that only one person fits the profile of the mysterious Bitcoin creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. In a surprise Ask Me Anything (AMA) session on YouTube, Hoskinson reveals that he has narrowed down his search to one person who he believes is the only individual that fits the part.

“I’ve been very vocal lately on this. I think that first, it doesn’t matter but second, it’s probably Adam Back. If you look at the preponderance of the evidence, Occam’s razor applies and the most likely answer usually is, and there’s no mystique or magic there but he just fits the profile. You’re looking for somebody who’s in their 40s to 50s who created Bitcoin in 2008. That would fit Adam. English education, grammar, all that stuff, the right computer science background, exactly the right credentials you’d look for. You probably can get pretty far with code stylometry towards validating that.” [1]

The most credible candidate is someone who was very familiar with and keen on its technology, yet did not engage publicly in the first few years [2].

> Who Is Behind Satoshi?

Curiously, the most credible candidate [1] is practically never mentioned, while that complete and utter Faketoshi clown always is...
