So DPR posts his real name in these forums, and then Satoshi turns out to be Satoshi? Truth is always stranger than fiction...

sometimes i feel ashamed to work in journalism. this is one of those times  Embarrassed

you dont have to be ashamed for anything..unless you had something to do with this article?

i've nothing to do with the article, however, it would be a great honour to be able to set up a portrait. I may not be a master of words, but i am damn sure i'm a master of light and shade  Grin

I have sent the email of Satoshi Nakamoto in the past asking if I can do a portrait. I think my mistake was in being honest regarding my intentions. The email was delivered, but I never got a response.

oh well, privacy respected.

The best lesson for such a journalist maybe for herself to have no privacy.

Leah McGrath Goodman and Sharon Sergeant both have Wikipedia articles about them and the latter seems to be a well-known forensic genealogist. Newsweek seems like a reputable source as well.

On the other hand I find it hard to believe that someone who wanted to stay anonymous, especially someone who is an expert in cryptography, would use his real name in public. Many people have claimed to have "discovered" the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto. Just look at his Wikipedia page for example. Here's hoping that this will be just another one like the rest.

Sounds like this reporter is hell bent on making her career ("the reporter that discovered Satoshi") at all costs.

If that guy disappeared or anything happened with him, she will be next.

The article presents ZERO evidence that this guy named Satoshi Nakamoto is the inventor of Bitcoin... NewsWeek is going to get burned on this...

But a lot of circumstantial evidence, which when put together, could make her claim legit.

All paid signature campaigns should be banned.
My favorite quote about the article:

This piece is better suited to TMZ. Then again, they might have rejected it for ethical reasons.

There is never a dull moment in Bitcoin land.

and yet we all read it and are even here posting about it. If he did say something to the effect of ' I am no longer involved,' if that quote is real, WOW!

He gave himself away which is weird for a reclusive calculating genius.

Yea, all it would have taken was "sure lady, I'm worth hundreds of millions. And I live here. I also killed JFK."

Also, come on. Satoshi going through all he went through to stay anonymous, but using his real name?
Really?

Yea, doesn't make a whole lot of sense. A pseudonym takes around 8 seconds to create. This guy is so smart and anonymous that he forgot to change his name?

Maybe it's just an elaborate sting, and there are film crews lying in wait for whoever might show up.

It reads like a truther article. Really immature journalism at best. A mistake that might cost someone their life at worst.

Yeah, I think it's gotta be illegal to publish personal information like that without a person's permission, so he should totally be able to sue if he thinks this is damaging to his security.

What. the. hell.
No matter if true or hoax, any family living in a house which halfway fits the description will soon live in a nightmare.
People get killed for a few hundred dollars. Now imagine a single place on earth with millions and millions worth of anonymous money, and being absolutely zero prepared for anything.

Also, come on. Satoshi going through all he went through to stay anonymous, but using his real name?
Really?

I wasn't that furious to anyone for years. Thanks, Leah McGrath Goodman.
