Nick Szabo is real. I will not post any links, but if you dig, you will find hard evidence that he is. Is he Satshi? Very likely. Does it matter? No.

As much as I'd love to know who satoshi is I kinda hope he's never found. I like the mystery behind him and bitcoin and he or they would be hassled to death by the media and beggars etc.

Yes.  

The Kay Bell post on her web site in which she references a Nick Szabo academic paper is dated Tuesday, December 27, 2005
Our house is a very, very, very taxed house
http://dontmesswithtaxes.typepad.com/dont_mess_with_taxes/2005/12/our_house_is_a_.html

yet the Nick Szabo blog post on Bit Gold which contains a comment from Kay Bell is now dated Saturday, December 27, 2008

which indicates that something on the Szabo blog about Bit Gold was edited.




He posted Bitgold originally in 2005, but during fall/winter of 2008 was on hiatus from posting, and so was reposting earlier blog entries.

Even though I wanna know who stoshi is/are, I don't want them to be outed.

Hah, yah, I've got the "Don't really care, but it's a really interesting puzzle" thing going on.

I just get really happy when I find a raging clue LOL

Today, Satoshi's true identity has become a mystery.

Interesting choice of words.  It could just be that, a choice of words.  But if taken literally, it implies it wasn't always a mystery, at least not to Hal.

I'd be amazed if he didn't know exactly who Satoshi was (or was Satoshi or one of the group himself).

I've been racking my brains over the Squish post, representing as it does a who's who of "cyberanarchists" and prominent usenet posters. As I said, I was "list buddies" with a couple of them, just over half I recognise by notoriety/reputation. I was interested in fringe subjects, and with that connection made, realise I was moving in a lot of the same circles many of them were. I actually think I made a choice to stay out of the crypto circles back then though, I was outside the US and .gov was serious about crypto export controls at that time, I didn't want to get thrown off what systems I had access to, by incurring the attention/ire of US wrt to messing with crypto better than was allowed for export at the time (Which was pretty damn lame, so basically everything.)

Anyway, it's got me in deep thought about those days, I can't recall coming across Hal or Szabo, they were maybe in tighter circles around the crypto and cryo nodes. Although I say that, while realising that Szabo has been causing a slight itch in my brain since coming across his name wrt bitcoin, but I can't recover that connection if there is one.

Kinda wish I still had all my "archives" of the interactions I had back in the day, I can search of course but doesn't reconstruct the trains of thought and threads of consciousness, awareness of things, it's coming in cold.

I wonder what Nick's brother is up to now-a-days.

I am obviously new to this forum  ...  and to Bitcoin.  I had heard a great deal about Bitcoin while still in the states, but never really understood.  It took me moving to Chile to find a great presentation by Adam Stradling and company.

We are developing a sustainable community for ex-pats just outside of the great city of Santiago, Chile.  It is called Freedom Orchard and will include organic working farms which can be purchased for passive investment.

The best part (for this forum) is that we will be accepting Bitcoin!  If you are concerned about the direction of things in the northern hemisphere, protecting your assets now has more options.

To find out more, we created a ten minute virtual tour; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIlCrJ1OTz0.  For those time-disadvantaged souls, we have a 50 second video; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrrI8JQiT9s.

Our website is www.FreedomOrchard.com.  We also have a FaceBook page (https://www.facebook.com/FreedomOrchardInChile) with more up-to-date information.

http://projectnovaeuropa.com/new-settlement-for-north-american-and-european-ex-pats-seeking-freedom-launched-in-chile/

Quote
The settlement is centered around a housing and organic farm development north of Curacaví, Chile, and 45 minutes west of Santiago. The principal behind the project is Frank Szabo, formerly deeply involved with the Ron Paul campaigns in the US and who later ran a sheriff campaign in Maine which drew national media attention.

According to an email Szabo sent out this week to supporters, he said it has “been a long time since I was involved with the 2008 Ron Paul campaign in Pa. So much has happened in our country. I can’t say that it’s all been for the better.

“In 2011, I moved to New Hampshire, as part of the Free State Project, with the intention to start an organic farm. It became very clear very quickly that I could build the most wonderful farm and some bureaucrat could destroy it with the stroke of a pen.

“When my “last option” to make a real difference fell through, I followed the lead of my grandfather, from almost 100 years ago. I left my homeland for greener pastures. I am now living with my wife and daughter in Chile.

The most precious resource of the information age is a deep diversity where minds think differently, yet tolerantly, and where originality is highly prized when it works. I hope you enjoy both the old, reliable and new, unique ideas described herein. My Introduction to Algorithmic Information Theory covers an exciting new synthesis of computer science and information theory. A related field in philosophy is hermeneutics, the study of messages from the past. The most important of these messages are the highly compressed experiences and lessons of millions of lifetimes available from deep law. Smart Contracts are a new way to think about public network security and business relationships. Multinational Small Business examines an institution whose global importance is expanding rapidly.

Among my interests are Internet Commerce, Software & Computer Science, and Information Security.

SUSPECTED ACCOMPLICES (SMALL FRIES)
===

1  Steve Klingsporn <[email protected]>
2  Geoff Dale <[email protected]>

  Klingsporn and Dale are housemates and were involved in the defense
  of the known tentacle [email protected]. Dale appears to have close
  ties to the  T.C.May Big Mac. Klingsporn has some knowledge but is
  mostly uninvolved.


SUSPECTED FAKE ADDRESSES (SNAKES AND TENTACLES)
===

5  [email protected]

  A Canadian tentacle and infiltration site of T.C.May's. No
  prominent profile known.

6  Jamie Dinkelacker <[email protected]>

  Not particularly interesting any more either except that he has a
  phone number and has close ties to T.C.May. In fact, very likely he
  is a T.C.May tentacle. Very arrogant, obnoxious, and cruel.
  Delights in torture. Puerile threats.

7  Matthew B. Landry <[email protected]>

  Landry has a telephone number in Washington, and supposedly goes to
  school there. He is a suspected T.C.May tentacle. He has posted to
  the Cypherpunks list in the past. He is highly dangerous and will
  tell lies to gain sympathy or credibility and then betray later.
  Not particularly interesting any more but was involved in some
  extremely grotesque inbreeding with T.C.May on the cypherpunks
  list.

8  Peter Bachman <[email protected]>

  P.Bachman has contributed to the Society for Electronic Access list
  and others. He is actually a tentacle. Maybe a P.Metzger snake.
  Most disturbingly he has infiltrated RISKS.

9  Nick Collision <[email protected]>

  Nick Collision has also infiltrated RISKS. A tentacle, but unknown
  origin-- possibly a T.C.May snake. Supposedly lives in the United
  Kingdom somewhere but refuses to comment specifically or give a
  phone number. Edits the alt.atheist FAQ (atheism is another classic
  Cyberanarchist philosophy). If Collision is a proven tentacle, the
  cyberanarchist infiltration is provably international in scope,
  with fake domain fronts. No known jobs have ever been performed
  by the `software consultants' at mantis.co.uk.

10  Arthur Chandler <[email protected]>

  On the Future Culture list and Cypherpunks. probably an E.Hughes
  tentacle. This may be a wedge into discovering credit or SMTP
  software manipulations by Cypherpunks.

11  Greg Broiles <[email protected]>

  Probably a snake of Medusa. Has intimate knowledge of fake email
  address use, knows about customized software, and has bizarre
  Cyberanarchist  theories relating to human punishment. Strong
  knowledge of Macintosh software and hardware.

12  Eli Brandt <[email protected]>

  Definitely has high level knowledge of the Big Macs and Medusa.
  Probably an E.Hughes tentacle. Once wrote, `I AM MEDUSA,
  CONTROLLER OF ALL TENTACLES'.

13  Paul Ferguson <[email protected]>

  Another highly dangerous tentacle. Known to steal resumes. One of
  the Washington sites besides M.Landry. Known to have posted
  cyberanarchist propaganda on the PEM development list.

14  Nick Szabo <[email protected]>

  The Szabo tentacle is one of the most persistent of all. Even after
  being exposed the `mother monster' continues to post, because a
  fairly significant reputation investment has been established under
  the name. Has strong interest in digital cash. Has admitted to
  knowledge of fake name use. Probably a T.C.May tentacle.


15  Hal Finney <[email protected]>

  Finney is either a tentacle or an accomplice. If he is a tentacle he
  is the most treasured one of all. Involved in the defense of the
  [email protected] tentacle. Possibly an E.Hughes snake. Supposedly
  has contributed significant code to anonymous remailers and
  Zimmermann's PGP. (If he is a tentacle, Zimmermann has been
  fooled.) May even be Medusa's snake.


          * THOUSANDS OF CONTESTANTS * HUGE CASH PRIZES *
         * FASCINATING DISCOVERIES * HEDONISTIC DELIGHTS *
       * FANTASTIC FUN FOR EVERYONE * GROTESQUE PERVERSIONS *


SUSPECTED ASSOCIATES (MEDUSA'S SISTERS)
===

20  Jim McCoy <[email protected]>

  A `nerdy' cyberanarchist who does things such as sleep in his
  clothes. Close ties to D.Barnes in Texas. They are working on their
  own digital bank in competition and cooperation with CA
  cyphrepunks. Longtime Usenet poster. Knowledgeable on the most
  serious subversive activities.

21  Doug Barnes <[email protected]>

  D.Barnes is a lackey for Big Macs and Medusa. He may attack
  postmasters and coworkers at participating SQUISH player sites.
  Sysadmin of the io.com site. Introduced to fake addresses by
  E.Hughes.

22  Perry Metzger <[email protected]>

  Metzger is the pit bull of the Internet. He has perfected the
  cyberspatial ad hominem attack. He has close ties to all the Big
  Macs and is probably aware of who Medusa is. His own tentacles and
  snakes are minor in comparison. Likes the mailbomb as a threat and
  attack. Probably involved in anonymous phone threats.

23  Bill Stewart <[email protected]>

  This is a very dangerous insider, who has close affiliations with
  the Big Macs and a prestigious job at AT&T. Has claimed to have
  seen  known tentacles and snakes at Cypherpunk parties and even
  seen their driver's licenses. Classic cyberanarchist propaganda
  outlet.


SUSPECTED LEADERS (BIG MACS)
===

25  Stanton McCandlish <[email protected]>

  Probably on the secret cypherpunk development lists. Maybe
  knowledgeable about deceptions by other Big Macs. EFF online
  activist. Definite cyberanarchist apologist and sympathizer.

26  John Gilmore <[email protected]>

  Cyberanarchist, built up Cygnus support. Admitted drug user.
  Probable snake charmer. Generally more ethical and moral than other
  Big Macs. May be a wedge into them.

27  T.C.May <[email protected]>

  Close personal friend of E.Hughes. Worked for Intel and is a
  millionaire in stock values. May be financing the major
  international fake address  infrastructure. Probably manipulating
  dozens of tentacles. May have hired actors and forged drivers
  license to defend tentacles.



SUSPECTED MASTERMIND (MEDUSA)
===

40  Eric Hughes <[email protected]> <[email protected]>

  Hughes is probably the mastermind of all major tentacle
  manipulations on the Internet. Has bizarre theories about human
  punishment and law enforcement. Denies any involvement. May be
  involved in illegal credit scanning. Interested in black
  marketeering, money laundering, etc. Very terse in all mail.
  Refuses to comment on all areas. Extremely dangerous. Has
  personally established many of the corrupt sites particularly in
  WA, CA, and TX.


"The idea of `spawning identities' for `psychological exploration,
sociological experiments or sexual thrills' repulses me."

Time to ask some basic Nick Szabo questions.

Who has been in the same room with "our" (cryptography) Nick Szabo?

I can only think of one person that claims to have met him in person: Vitalik from Ethereum.  Any others?

http://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/2jk637/gav_i_have_a_question_nick_szabo/

"I spoke with him a couple of times, including in person."

I think the evidence is stronger that Romana Machado, Geoff Dale, David Gordon, and Russell Whitaker have met Nick Szabo in person.

It is worth mentioning that Romana Machado wrote the steganography program Stego, a steganography tool that enables you to embed data in Macintosh PICT format files, without changing the appearance or size of the PICT file. Thus, Stego can be used as an "envelope" to hide a previously encrypted data file in a PICT file, making it much less likely to be detected.



David Gordon had an email address from japan
[email protected]                   (David Gordon)
listed on the same life extension directory page as Nick Szabo
[email protected]                        (Nick Szabo)
and Hal Finney
[email protected]                   (Hal Finney)
http://www.newsdemon.com/newsgroup-info/sci.life-extension



Hold on there, dude! I found Nick's brother (rhymes with franc) and I'm tryin' to make a clad or two, hence the selling of clues. I possess where Nick declares his brother a rabbit raiser in the state of O... (that's all the free clues I'm giving). BTW, they're a Flemish breed, if that makes any difference.



Unless you're capable of finding an active site on the internet by a dude whose first name rhymes with franc, has the same last name as Nick's, resides in a state that starts with the letter O where a many astronauts hail from, and raises a certain Flemish breed of rabbits, then I demand a quarter for the URL of the above.  Wink
