rofl, yeah and I think perhaps the most logical theory is that this is all a scam to sell copies of his book it stinks of modern, sneaky marketing and PR lol.

With certain projects and jobs and stuff I did in the past, I didn't think much of it until it became something and because of that I was sloppy with my privacy and personal details.  I'm sure if Satoshi was like "OMG someone should totally do that!  Like for real!" he probably wasn't thinking ahead to absolute security and sent it from a home IP or personal e-mail address or something.  Then when he realized financial laws and theft and governments would be after him, THEN he went all ninja   If he followed the suddenly secure it up path like that, obviously the first person in the chain of contacts he made would have been the guy who literally wrote the book on the topic.  I mean, you don't design the whole system then tell the author you think it's a good idea that would really work.  For all we know, he met him in person at a book signing or something.

I just finished reading Discipline by Paco Ahlgren. It s a great book on many levels, and very relevant to what is going on in the

So do you think he has any connections to botcoin or Satoshi Nakamoto? I find it hard to believe that he doesn't after reading his book. Coincidence?

So you think that Satoshi Nakamoto is not only a cryptologyst/programmer, but also writes novels?
