Topic: New York Times identifies Nick Szabo as Satoshi Nakamoto - page 8. (Read 14257 times)

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

That point is not important. Most everybody does the same thing when it comes to tech papers, et al. The same true when one starts a website solo but comes across as more than one person are behind the scenes. It's a common practice.

I'd like to point out in the white paper. Satoshi refers to "himself" as "we".

I didn't know there was actually chatter about him  being Satoshi an year back .
Founds a couple videos this morning too about speculation about him being Satoshi. Also seems a lot of the people have been talking about the similarity in writing styles in that thread as well. Don't see why did this become a big news just today then.

To be clear, are you referencing the guy who truly invented it, or simply published the white paper on the P2P torch-passing scheme, forgetting to credit the earliest known passing dude in the footnote references who was likely at most BBQ sabretooth outings together.

Another poor guy

Does it really matter who invented fire  

And where can we find your sister Lydia, Mr. Nakamoto?

Or, he'll come out of the proverbial closet and declare he is, whereupon we'll anoint him Saint Nick.

As soon as the media get hold of Szabo...  Satoshi will post a signed message, "I am not Nick." 

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.

Now they will start to search who is "Nick Szabo". I have found an interesting thread :

Who is Satoshi Nakamato? ==> Who is Nick Szabo? ==> Who is ___ ?

How far are you prepared to go down that rabbit hole? I think a common level of protection is 7 abstraction layers of proxies. Good luck Alice.
