this is very fucking dumb, "who is satoshi?" is such a 2014 question, and this article is a nothingburger

at least they're not still harassing Dorian Nakamoto

@davidgerard his evidence is hilarious. “He used C++ and was interested in distributed systems and PGP!”

Duh I could be Satoshi

@sfoskett yeah lots of filler that makes one doubt the author is familiar with what he's covering. Like bringing up libertarian beliefs, political activity, open source, comments about centralized architectures are all par for the course for anyone in the cypherpunk context. And crypto T-shirts are not some original idea like he presents it since tons of people were doing those back then...

Would be more interesting to see if Satoshi's original code has any resemblance to Back's.

@davidgerard

@ikuturso @davidgerard Exactly. I just read the whole thing and it’s laughable. He might be right but this is not the proof he thinks it is.
