Hi guys this is my first post. Reddit didn't like this post for whatever reason so I figured I would go straight to the source.
Anyway I'm quite interested in finding out who satoshi wasn't, in my much longer effort to figure out who satoshi was. Based on this I'd say Hal Finney probably wasn't satoshi.
I read somewhere that Hal mined the 78th block and that he only mined for a little while before turning it off forever. Seems like this wallet is him.
https://bitinfocharts.com/bitcoin/wallet/59649In this post he talks about how he's leaving the btc to his kids, who appear to have sold it within a few months of his death. (this is a couple of transactions down the rabbit hole from the 59649 wallet.

Who has been trying to help create a 2nd layer of Bitcoin ever since then, apparently this one was called zerocoin, now I think he makes one called liquid.
