Greetings steemers

I will share here some of Satoshi Nakamoto's posts, discussions, profile.... I imagine a lot of informations could be gleaned just by his forum posts and emails. The words everyone uses, the order they are in, the combination, vocabulary, expressions are all inherited. So in some sense you could build a memetic genome that could tell a given person from another, and detect patterns of inheritance.

Paper
i think the paper that started it all deserves its places here:

Emails provided publicly by Wei Dai to support his judgment that Satoshi is not Nick Szabo:

Reading through his posts, you really get the sense that he was a man who took security and encryption seriously. He certainly knew enough to develop bitcoin. He saw far enough ahead that he bought the bitcoin.org website with an untraceable anonymous service (Registration expiration date was set to : 2021-08-18T13:19:55)... I think Satoshi stayed anonymous to protect his baby, Bitcoin, and to protect his future wealth. By revealing his identity, Bitcoin may get an attack target, discredit Satoshi and you've discredited Bitcoin. This way it's safer, at least until Bitcoin passes a point of no return, when nothing can stop it.
