Liberty Dollar is a good starting point.

I know there is E-Gold, Digicash, and eCash, and Liberty Dollar.

Google them.  Most forced out the market by the 3rd party trust companies, but others failed for other reasons.

There is a chapter on it in the Bitcoin Exposed book.  My interest is more in that there were crytocurrencies before Bitcoin.  Bitcoin is crypto 2.0 or as someone said on the forum, Bitcoin is an Altcoin Smiley

I made no claim or comment on Nakamoto at all.

I don't think he said you did. His first point was obviously in response to op, the bit after your quote looks to be directed to you.

Who said Satoshi Nakamoto lives in Temple City, California, or are you going by that guy who got outed as Satoshi a while ago?

Read up about what happened to the creators of alternate currencies in the USA in and around the 1990s to before Bitcoin was created and you will understand why someone would want to remain anonymous.

Hal Finney and Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto both lived in Temple City, California, a smallish place with just over 30,000 residents.

I wonder why they would have used their real names though, if/when they created bitcoin?

One reason to use their real names, might be because they really didn't think bitcoin would amount to much,
so didn't think it was a big deal to use their real names.
Would you want all the attention they got, as bitcoin became more and more popular?

Surely, if they thought it would become as popular as it has become, they would have used secret names instead,
to cover up their identities?
