The question is, is that really necessary? Well for me it's not , it would be exciting if satoshi will remain anonymous, besides
his technology is here and it's open source so anyone can benefit on it.
I also think that if he will reveal his name, he will not anymore leave a normal life, that's why he remains to be anonymous, I guess.
Its true, he wouldn't leave a normal life anymore after it.
It would be interesting to know who he is but I also don't want him to be revealed. Probably if I just knew him, make him prove by signing the message I think its would be enough for me. I can't promise not to reveal him though but I will definitely try not to.
