You have most likely already heard about that budding young investigative journalist, Leah McGrath Goodman, using good old fashioned foot work (Looking up names in a phone book.) and tracking down the creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto. If not her article is a bloody great read, and also very convincing. http://mag.newsweek.com/2014/03/14/bitcoin-satoshi-nakamoto.html Less than a day later, the expected press scrums form outside the front of Dorian Prentice Satoshi Nakamoto's home, as he is coaxed from his front door with the promise of a free lunch courtesy of Associated Press. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bK3MV8XROIE[/youtube] "Okay where is my lunch ticket" he says. Not something you'd ever expect to hear from a man sitting on an estimated 1 million Bitcoins! Many in the crypto community worried that when the creator of Bitcoin would be discovered it might destroy the currency, as the public shifts it's focus to the creator rather than what he created. Even core Bitcoin dev team contributor, Gregory Maxwell (aka nullc on reddit.) recently suggested: http://www.reddit.com/user/nullc But less than a 5% drop in Bitcoin's price, and a day later, has the real Satashi Nakamoto surfaced and posted a comment on his original posting & release of the Bitcoin White Paper from way back in February 11, 2009, to prove otherwise!? The significance of this reply should not be lost. Nothing has been heard from Satoshi Nakamoto since 2011. For him to post a reply on this page, his original post for the release of Bitcoin White Paper; That he and Dorian Prentice Satoshi Nakamoto are not the same person; This is the real Satoshi Nakamoto sending a message to those who are searching for him, that they are not even close. http://p2pfoundation.ning.com/forum...rce?x=1&id=2003008:Topic:9402&page=1#comments Sorry about the edits; Just wanted to make this post as up to date as possible .
Dorian S. Nakamoto denies he is Bitcoin's 'Satoshi Nakamoto' via the AP. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrrtA6IoR_E[/youtube] Unless the email is hacked, the real 'Satoshi Nakamoto' writes: "I am not Dorian Nakamoto." http://p2pfoundation.ning.com/profile/SatoshiNakamoto Email could be hacked butsome further backing of sorts regarding "I am not Dorian Nakamoto." https://twitter.com/jdaviescoates/status/441776951078838272 Source: http://i.imgur.com/RHwZi4l.png What a palava..
Personally, I think it's him. But I would deny the hell out of it as well. I hope for his sake he fades back into obscurity, as he wants. Even though he created it, Bitcoin is way bigger than him, now.
It's not him, few more days the rumors will be laid to rest. Just went through allot of the media coverage , seems they are starting to back away from this story the more that surfaces , the evidence is just laughable now. Leah goodman just dug herself a massive hole, and looks like she is starting to realise this. She will lay low now
And now comes the lawsuit http://www.bitcoinx.com/dorian-nakamoto-hires-lawyer-claims-ability-work-harmed-newsweek/
