Heh - I've just been saying in the wall thread that there's enough in that article to fuel the fires for conspiracy theorists.

At what point does conspiracy theory become more like common sense and the orthodox accepted version of events sound like bullshit?

i.e. Who is more likely to have created Bitcoin.

A team of high salaried life long committed cryptology professionals, pooled together under one roof with access to, for all intents and purposes, unlimited resources?

A lone hacker geek sitting in some Japanese attic with his Manga collection?

A Great Time to Start Something!

A newsweek thread? Probably no.

Could we get this thread deleted.

Only to have 5 others appear?

Could be him, I guess. The description, slightly nutty, but brilliant anti-government private researcher certainly fits.

But that's hardly enough evidence. Reading the article it sounds to me the evidence that it's him is basically that the writer of the article says "he implicitly admitted to be the creator of Bitcoin"... Is that sufficient evidence in your eyes?

All paid signature campaigns should be banned.

You want to delete this thread, all the threads that are already on this subject and all the threads that will be written on this subject from now on?

You also have to get Newsweek to delete the article - but it has already been pasted many places so that would not do any good anyway.

My favorite comment about the article:

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

He is going to come under immense pressure from his family now to spend the coins, if only so they can go into hiding.

You're thinking of the Enquirer.

Holy shit. Yeah, you are right.

In that case, it could be true, and I would draw everyone's attention to this extract from the article:

Quote

the trail followed by Newsweek led to a 64-year-old Japanese-American man whose name really is Satoshi Nakamoto. He is someone with a penchant for collecting model trains and a career shrouded in secrecy, having done classified work for major corporations and the U.S. military.

Been saying it for months. Bitcoin aint against The Man, it came from The Man.

Is this for real?

Erm...

It is an American magazine, but do Newsweek not have a reputation for writing bullshit stories that nobody is meant to believe is real?

with headlines like Hitler was transvestite from Mars, or Freddie Starr ate my Hamster (from a UK equivalent junk tabloid)

Despite the lack of proper evidence, my feeling is yes it is for real.

And that makes Newsweek pretty low for putting this man's life in danger.

Edit: Although this lines right up with my own personal conspiracy theory on Bitcoin:

Twas an NSA project all along and now they control it.
