Topic: New York Times identifies Nick Szabo as Satoshi Nakamoto - page 10. (Read 14257 times)

Why can he not be satoshi? There are lots of similarities and if you do a bit of reading on Nick Szabo (another pseudonym) you will see it could very well be him

Quote from: 'Szabo'

    In my limited experience creating Internet pseudonyms, I've been quite distracted by the continual need to avoid leaving pointers to my True Name lying around -- excess mail to/from my True Name, shared files, common peculiarities (eg misspellings in written text), traceable logins, etc. The penet.fi site explicitly maintains a list of pointers to the original address. All kinds of security controls -- crypto, access, information, inference -- have to be continually on my mind when using pseudonymous accounts. The hazards are everywhere. With our current tools it's practically impossible to maintain an active pseudonym for a long period of time against a sufficiently determined opponent, and quite a hassle to maintain even a modicum of decent security. Pointers to info and/or tools to enable the establishment and maintenance of a net.nym, beyond the standard cypherpunks PGP/remailer fare with which I'm now familiar, greatly appreciated. Especially nice would be a list of commercial net providers that allow pseudonymous accounts.

    I've had several years to establish a net.reputation for "Nick Szabo", and it might take a long time for any of my pseudonyms to catch up. Altruistic sponsorship requires trusted friends knowing the True Name, but that public sponsorship itself provides important clues pointing to that Name.

Would somebody be so kind and let me know if Sean Lavine and Adam B. Levine are related.

There's more than enough details here: https://likeinamirror.wordpress.com/2013/12/01/satoshi-nakamoto-is-probably-nick-szabo/

Well I read through the so-called statement and I would say it's not that convincing. It could be mere coincidence as we all know and in fact, it offered nothing new. Maybe more like an attempt to generate hype with some hidden agenda. Oh and they did mention that you have to buy the book to get more details right?

Nick Szabo has as much chance of being Satoshi as the NYT has of being a relevant news source. Did I just say that out loud?

He obviously didn't reveal himself. The newspapers and some study done in a university , claimed that he is probable satoshi because his writing style matched to that of the original paper by satoshi , and his writing style.
And we have had people do a bit of stupid things before  , like DPR using his real name to ask a programming question.

Who was on the 2008 list of academics passionate about cryptocurrencies and who wrote like Nick Szabo? Nick Szabo.

N S (nick szabo) is S N (satoshi nakamoto) in a mirror.

And that old anonymous blog post claiming textual analysis determined Szabo was Satoshi:

Just because it is the new york times, doesn't mean that we will have to put a head to everything it writes in. I still believe satoshi is a name of a group. But whether that group is a independent agency or a govt. project, that is still a mystery.

Sweet article.  I would have probably been unlikely to have read this unless lots of other sites also wrote articles about this.

Here we go again. Why would anyone take this seriously?
They are just doing this for publicity. The chances of Nick Szabo being Satoshi are the same as me being Satoshi and not even knowing about it.

As with every thread: please stop searching for Satoshi. Don't you have something better to do in your own life?

This can't be Satoshi.
The guy who started this technology to anonymize everything won't let anyone reveal himself.

worked wth him on bigold the fore runner to bitcoin have said this all a long

Makes sense. . . Was ganna say a or domain/hosting service maybe. Cuz I looked at some their Whois.domain and saw they had differing area codes.

so it seems my theory that its just a dead drop site for mail, was correct.  340 lemon is the address of the company called "virtualpostmail" who act as a mail forwarding service

@Gleb

Looked on Google maps at those addresses. Seems to be a business park or complex. But why would they have so many addresses in that park? Wouldn't it be adventitious to have 1? Also why register in Cali? Taxes are insain.... Sure they are crypto friendly but why not Nevada?

I found your research on this intreaging.


Do they all have the same lawyer who advised them to register here? Same person? I'm so what lost and need more to feed my curiosity.

Tim Draper: Son, I have something for you.
Adam Draper: What, dad?
Time Draper: Vaurum.
Adam Draper: You want me to...
Tim Draper: Wink!
Adam Draper: If only we could get...
Tim Draper: Whose your daddy?
NY Times: Nick Szabo...

if you look hard enough you will find links to everything.. (6th degree of separation philosophy)
keep looking you might find a link between satoshi and brock pierce..
via some coin protocols, bitcoin foundation and vaurum......

.. all it means is that in a pool of not very many people, you will always find familiar connections.

my previous posts were to highlight that the real satoshi never shouted out that he was british, thus not making it a direct ploy to confuse people. but from the manner in which he posted messages on forums, gits and emails he is definetly british.

yet the only thing that links nick and satoshi. is that they are both interested in an alternative currency (just like hal finney, brock, gavin, andreas, sirrius and millions of others) and the fact that he used a few common words.... which thousands of people say..

thus there is just as much evidence that your best friend brock pierce could be satoshi
thus there is just as much evidence that Hal finney could be satoshi
thus there is just as much evidence that theymos could be satoshi
thus there is just as much evidence that sirrius could be satoshi
