Topic: Potential inventor of Bitcoin - related or married to Michelle Szabo? - page 2. (Read 3503 times)

Yeah.

This is really interesting.

So all those sites like Bitpay, Mt Gox saw bitcoin coming 

So Logically

1994 => NSA publishes paper on Electronic Currencies

1998 => Nick Szabo conceives bitgold

1999 => Circle is founded. Possible joint venture between Szabo Karpeles, and others.

2000 => Mark Karpeles registers bitcoins.com

2004 => Bitpay is founded, paving the way for a ready to roll bitcoin payment processor.

2004 => Mt Gox is founded, paving the way for a bitcoin exchange.

2008 => Bitcoin.org is registered.

2009 => Bitcoin is launched by Satoshi Nakamoto


correct me if i'm wrong but... whooooaaaa

Well that "whoever" is Mark Karpeles, the owner of MtGox!!!! Got it?

nice whoever got it must feel so nice

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for your reply!

Well, it's a bit tricky.

You see, the date shown in the WHOIS database is a record of "registration" but does not necessarily mean it was the "date of origin" for a particular domain name. If a domain ever expires and then later is registered by another individual, the WHOIS will show the "new registration date" verses the original.

And, more importantly, regardless of the official birth of the address (or date post-drop), the "name" of the registrant can be edited at any time.

So for example, "BiggestBitcoinFanInTheWorld.com" could have a WHOIS date of 2/13/2012 but it could've been registered originally on 10/12/2002 and so you can not necessarily rely on standard WHOIS checkers for original creation dates. DomainTools is available for the most accurate data. And to be quite honest, there isn't necessarily any WHOIS police, so a registrant could edit or falsely the contact details to his/her liking. Or, obviously, just place the domain on private protection as many of my examples have opted for.

And for the final example regarding the name record. Regardless of the date, an individual could have his/her name listed on a ten year old domain but just acquired it last week from the previous owner. So as I mentioned, it's tricky.

Hope that makes sense.

Thanks again for reading.

Very interesting...

If Mark Karpelès registered bitcoins.org on 3/30/2000, has coding experience as his LinkedIn proves, and lives in Japan (whence the pseudonym), I think it's a match as to him being Satoshi Nakamoto!

EDIT: might be helpful to rearrange your list of websites by date, from oldest to youngest maybe bold or italicize names that are related (ex. Jennifer Dromon or Mark Karpelès appearing multiple times)

Hello everyone.

I am a professional media consultant, developer, and investor.

This is my first post on BitcoinTalk and I wanted to share some research.

Just food for thought...

Note:

On May 5th 2011 a woman by the name of "Michelle Szabo" registered the domain names "PayWithBitcoin.com" and "PayWithBitcoins.com".

Is this the wife, sister, or cousin of the rumored inventor of Bitcoin?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?

Here are a few other interesting domain name asset registrations with dates.

Enjoy!
