OMG! Here we go again! When are we leaving the crew (because it's certainly not a single individual) who created the paper alone? Bitcoin is the product of community developement, not just from a single individual!
Everyone knows that. But I think that OP was trying to identify 1 of those members. Don't dis his work, even though it is completely fictional.

This paper is definitely interesting, but it appears to cover unlinkability using zero knowledge proofs. This was not implemented in Bitcoin.
satoshi appeared for the first time in August 2008. he wrote a email to Wei Dai mentioned he have had communication with Adam Back before.

I was very interested to read your b-money page. I'm getting ready to
release a paper that expands on your ideas into a complete working system.
Adam Back (hashcash.org) noticed the similarities and pointed me to your
site.

Adam Back (born July 1970) is a British cryptographer and crypto-hacker.
Can you now try to find who stole the coins from Cryptsy?
According to blockchain analysis, that was easy: Paul Vernon aka BigVern who didn't even have his head of security, Horus, look into the event in spite of Horus having a degree in the field.
You are making assumptions where they are not ready to be made. A pokemon fan does not have to be a kid, especially in a country like Japan. Adults watch anime all the time there, including pokemon.
Also, satoshi never specifically asked not to be traced. He just disappeared and never replied any more. This can be due to many reasons, one being that he doens't want to be found, but he could also have died for instance (even though that is highly unlikely).
Still I have to disagree: few adults would watch Pokemon even in Japan, as it's definitely aimed for kids and young teenagers. I have a bunch of Japanese friends in their twenties (being myself in my twenties) and they indeed occasionally read mangas and probably watch anime (still I have to insist on the "occasionally" because Japan is a country where you'd easily get marginalized if you spend too much time on these), but I'd be surprised that they'd watch Pokemon. I can ask around if you want. I admit that I never did. But I'm pretty sure of the answer I'll get: Pokemon is for kids (and ok, nostalgic adults too, every now and then).Also, satoshi never specifically asked not to be traced. He just disappeared and never replied any more. This can be due to many reasons, one being that he doens't want to be found, but he could also have died for instance (even though that is highly unlikely).
But I'm not pretending to hold the truth regarding the origin of the name Satoshi. I'm just going with my own assumption that if Satoshi is indeed a pseudonym, there's a possibility that it was chosen by a western pokemon fan born between 1985 and 1995. These are just my thoughts though. Don't sweat it: I have no evidence that what I'm saying is true. You could say I'm just talking out of my ass
. Especially if the guy is really Japanese but Satoshi is still a pseudonym, then chances would become really super slim that it would be because of Pokemon's creator, since he'd have a much more developed background regarding Japanese names.The Media Create group did a study on the demographics of Pokemon X & Y players, and they found a majority of them are college kids ages 19-24. This news bucks the claims that Nintendo’s games are only for kids.
Full Disclosure: I found this neat tool called Google. In the search function thingy I plugged in "Pokémon demographics" sans quote thingies.
a phd can't NEVER develop a sw like btc. also for ethical aspects.
Satoshi Nakamoto can't be "one", it can't be youg, "probably a team" .
well I have work in a Boinc project and they know so deeply and well bitcoin before vast majority here
but who as ever try a developing like a distributed computing?
is not easy and one person couldn't make...
a protocol like this one

Okay, I haven't read the research posted yet (I will), but I do have some thoughts on the post. Those two enumerated aspects were problems that were discussed often in the circles of cryptography. They WERE the main problem with creating a digital currency. Now, if there were papers that had the solution to these problems....that'd be something! I can't wait to read the research however.
Anybody remember SETI @ Home or Stanfords Folding @ Home projects.....
Apply the solutions to the Trust and Double Spend problems to SETI @ HOME or Folding @ Home....And, we're pretty close to a digital currency....those thoughts were rolling around for awhile....

a protocol like this one I totally agree, he has every right to be anonymous.
But the man deserves to get credit for the greatest innovation of the century.

Indeed.

Thanks Vene. I am trying to contact Pawel directly and ask him :-) There is no other way to confirm this as we are struck with circumstantial evidence only. Things will
be easy with digital evidence but Satoshi never leave any trace
He probably left plenty of traces, but back in the day people had no incentive to try and identify him.
If people were trying to figure out his identity, they would probably have it by now because it is near impossible to not leave any trace. Just look what happened to the silk road guy. One tiny mistake is enough to reveal your identity online.

I'll probably release Satoshi's PMs and logged IPs addresses in ~8 years. This'd probably be of great historical interest. (Though he always used Tor, as far as I can tell.)
Can you now try to find who stole the coins from Cryptsy?
no one needs to find satoshi and in my opinion this will never be done because satoshi did not want to be revealed and never will be revealed

Nice job Sherlock not that I really care about who he is. If this is real then he hidedhis identity for a long time.

Folding@Home earns you Curecoins and Foldingcoins, and GridCoin pays for BOINC distributed computing. You can trade those at multiple exchanges for Bitcoin right now.
But they still aren't fully decentralized.
Gotta disagree with you here, there's no way a complex stuff like Bitcoin can be developed by a single person
I think it's gotta be developed by a group member or some sort
Or maybe it was a part of something larger than we don't know about
*Conspiracy intensifies
no one is disputing that he was not working in a team.. he was talking to lots of people and grabbing idea's leftright and centre.. even on day1 there was atleast 3 people mining, and helping code new stuff..
the dispute is not if he is a team player or not.. the dispute is if the pseudonym itself was used by more than one person..
and it seems that satoshi was one entity, one person. but was not afraid to be open source to let others play around with the code as separate entities
