The code does exactly what it says it does, computer code is a set of instructions that the computer carries out - there are no secrets or backdoors - we have the code we can see exactly what it does. It really doesn't matter who wrote the first version of Bitcoin (Satoshi client) or who wrote the whitepaper - in fact, the original code has been more or less entirely rewritten now by the core developers.

There is very little evidence to suggest the NSA is behind it, and little motive, I could understand why the NSA would want to compromise something like bitcoin but I cannot see why they would want to start it. So it's just FUD.

If Sha256 were broken would Bitcoin be at risk?

Great coin. The dev seems to stop by sporadically to update. Worth a small investment.
