Rassah, can you confirm what you posted?

It does: "I am Stan Katoosho".

Brilliant! Someone should contact the editor of Forbes.

EDIT: I'll check the rest 7 persons, just in case.

It's Stan Katoosho. I think he's Russian or Eastern European or something.

Really?

Anagram! See?  Grin

Anagram? What anagram?

Stan Katoosho => Satoshi Nakamoto.

I think I found Satoshi (marks with a tick in the daybook). I won't be surprised if tomorrow Forbes publishes an article "Satoshi is found" with reference to this thread. Smiley

Satoshi's name is 15 letters, Stan's is only 12, so no, it doesn't work.

It does: "I am Stan Katoosho".

Lets get to the part where we put D&T on the scales to see if he weighs the same as a duck.

I know who D&T is. Since we signed a private contract for a loan, I got to see his real name and PGP key. So........

Does the name start with "S" and end with "shi", by chance?

DeathAndTaxes says it's not him/her.  Who's #2 on your list?

btw D&T, just to put all doubts to rest, what were you doing during the second half of 2008?


It doesn't matter, coz there are only 2 options here:

1. D&T is Satoshi, then #2 doesn't matter
2. The approach is incorrect, then #2 doesn't matter

The AI should be making some snarky comments as well. For instance, OP should ask, "Are you certain?" and the computer should reply, "It's the only thing in life that is certain."

It's not AI (we don't wish to see "A Bitcoin user created SkyNet, the end is near" headlines, do we?) It's based on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlation_and_dependence.  Grin

I love the OP's implying that whatever web scraper he wrote is some kind of amazing quantum AI that is so CPU-heavy he had to turn off all his mining programs while it rans for weeks doing the kinds of pattern recognition you usually see on TV shows like 24 or Person of Interest. I picture it like this:

-OP types "Who is Satoshi Nakamoto?" into his hackstation, which appears on 9 screens at once.
-Green letter scroll across black screens for hours, surveillance photos of asian men flash across the screen.
-Computer speaks in half robotic/half human voice "There are a number of possibilities, Michael"
-OP says "Narrow the search. Enhance the variables."
-Montage of OP pacing around his dark apartment while the computer runs.
-Computer speaks "You're not going to like this Michael".
-OP speaks: "Just give me the results, S.A.T.O. !"
-S.A.T.O. : "I've narrowed it down to a list of suspects. Number one is the forum poster DeathandTaxes"
-OP : "Okay, now we're getting somewhere. S.A.T.O., give me the case on DeathandTaxes"
-S.A.T.O.: "He gets quoted all the time on bitcointalk."
-OP: "BINGO. Thanks buddy. And now the game begins".

The superhackcomputer powers down as OP opens a forum window and types "WHO DEATHANDTAXES IS?".

Fade to black.

The AI should be making some snarky comments as well. For instance, OP should ask, "Are you certain?" and the computer should reply, "It's the only thing in life that is certain."
