Nick Szabo is Satoshi. For real.

That's my opinion as well. But I doubt he is 85 years old. And I doubt Nick Szabo is his real name any more than Satoshi Nakamoto. Interesting the lack of any photos (I think I once saw a photo claimed to be of him, showing a mid-aged Caucasian male).

His website mentions giving at least one public address about ten years ago. It would be interesting if anyone can claim to have met him from his speaking events and could shed any light. My recollection is that his name does not match up with any Washington univ. faculty.

I have found this image of "Nick Szabo":

Yep, that's the one I recall, FWIW. He's still a mystery though, and no real proof the photo ID of him is even accurate.

Szabo is in his 50s...

Vitalik Buterin has met him in person...

More info will come out on Szabo now - he is barely a "real" person himself, slightly more transparent than Satoshi, but, not by that much.

nick szabo is not 85...

This is where I saw the claims that Nick Szabo is already 85 years of age:

Who are their employers?

Nick Szabo the one born in 1930, graduate of UC Berkeley, resident of Silicon Valley (Cupertino), employed at Lockheed, Link-Singer, and KLA,

Also, how can you say that Nick Szabo is not 85 when there are so many uncertainties regarding his identity? There are even no known picture of him in the internet.

There was a businessinsider article that discussed the possiblty of Nick Szabo being Satoshi last year. It concludes that we often refer to him simply as "the creator". I have never heard that term used here before, so I'm not convinced the author knows what he's talking about.

http://www.businessinsider.com/nick-szabo-bitcoin-2014-4?IR=T

"The Bitcoin community remains almost violently opposed to any outside effort to out Satoshi. He is often referred to simply as "the creator." Leah McGrath Goodman, who reported the Newsweek story, received threats on reddit."

So, it's possible that this guy (Nick Szabo) is Satoshi Nakamoto? Huh

So, he is a very old man Cheesy

You are not showing Satoshi the proper respect, according to businessinsider you should be referring to him as "the creator".

If that picture someone posted really is Nick Szabo it makes me wonder if he really is a very old man. The clothes the people are wearing look like stuff from the seventies or early eighties, and the picture's so blurred it's difficult to pin an age on him. If it was taken in the eighties and he was 45, then he might be 85, but it's so fuzzy it might have been taken when he was thirty.

If Nick Szabo is 85 years of age at the time of this writing, then probably it wouldn't be him in that photo. Even if that photo is taken years or even a decade ago, still it wouldn't make any sense that it is in fact Nick Szabo. The man on the picture looks like around 30-40 years of age.

Yes, who has said that he is 85 years old? Only due this post:

Quote from: TippingPoint on April 26, 2015, 01:34:36 PM

Was employed at Lockheed, Link-Singer, and KLA (KLA was named after its founders, Ken Levy and Bob Anderson)

And Nick Szabo is 85 years old

His age and former employers are not included in the Wikipedia article. And there is no verified photo of him.

With any reference link?

Have you clicked the link below the post? There is a pdf file there wherein you could read the claims posted here by TippingPost.

That's my opinion as well. But I doubt he is 85 years old. And I doubt Nick Szabo is his real name any more than Satoshi Nakamoto. Interesting the lack of any photos (I think I once saw a photo claimed to be of him, showing a mid-aged Caucasian male).

His website mentions giving at least one public address about ten years ago. It would be interesting if anyone can claim to have met him from his speaking events and could shed any light. My recollection is that his name does not match up with any Washington univ. faculty.

I have found this image of "Nick Szabo":

That is Mark Kareles right? Or is my mind playing tricks on me today? I am not sure anymore..!

Mark karpeles? Yes he seems him, but the one in the image is not karpeles but someone else who is named "Nick Szabo" but I also think that it is only a pseudonym like "Satoshi Nakamoto".

Who are these two people? Cannot find anything about them online.

Wei Dai's home page is here.

Nick Szabo's home page is here.

Satoshi Nakamoto's home page is here.

You almost tricked me with the last link. The thing is, satoshi actually had something that could be said to be his homepage: his profile on his p2pfoundation

http://p2pfoundation.ning.com/profile/SatoshiNakamoto

This is the last time satoshi was ever active (afaik?), and what he used to confirm he is not Dorian.
