Isn't it a too big coincidence to Hal Finney lived in the same neighborhood as Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto?
He was the fist to receive a bitcoin transaction?
I know all the emails in between debugging crash logs etc, but isn't that the way to hide himself away?
Seems like we will never know.
I like Hal Finney. But he doesn't have to be Satoshi to be one of my bitcoin heros. He did enough as Hal to already deserve that title.
For those that don't know who Hal Finney is read this: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bitcoin-and-me-hal-finney-155054
In 1991, Hal began doing volunteer work for a new project known as or P.G.P. (Pretty Good Privacy) and was one of the central players in developing the program.
Hal wrote in 1992 that "cryptographic technology appealed to him because he worried about the ability of corporations and governments to snoop on citizens."
"Hal was motivated by the highest ideals of human rights," stated Phil Zimmermann
Hals style and character match. I believe Satoshi to be a brilliant human being like that.
There is also this:
Satoshi never said blockchain. He calls the ledger block chain.
2 years ago I decided to scan Satoshi's forum posts here just to see if there was anything anomalous about his writing style. Anything that stood out to me. The first thing I noticed was that he constantly hyphenates things. He never misses a properly hyphenated phrase. He *always* hyphenates things. Word phrases 99% of people have no idea should be hyphenated, he hyphenates. In fact I almost wondered if he was over-hyphenating. Doing it randomly sometimes. In any case .... take a look at Szabos writings .... cough ...

Differences between Satoshi and the "paper"
Satoshi:
FAKE Paper:
This and other inconsistencies make me conclude that http://nakamotofamilyfoundation.org/duality.pdf is 100% not written by Satoshi.
Looks like a fiction novel is on its way.
