Paco Ahlgren already have his sites up again and he made a new article about bitcoin where he says that he's not Satoshi Nakamoto

Read it here: http://coinbits.com/note/the-future-of-bitcoin-and-digital-currencies-paco-ahlgren/

Dont you mean Satoshi Nakamura? :p

Yep, that was clever of him.  Smooth.

The most logical, simple explanation at this point in time, given all the evidence, is that he knows who Satoshi really is because Satoshi read his book and questioned him about it.  I think the writing styles are different enough that it's likely to be 2 people.  Also, nobody would be stupid enough to write an entire book about something then create it in real life and pretend they weren't the one who did it.  But if someone reads your obscure book and wants to talk to you about it because they think it contains awesome ideas, you're going to talk to them!  That's how authors are.  And then if they say they want to implement the idea in reality, you're not going to forget that either.

I think he knows who Satoshi really is, contacted him to let him know that people found out he's related, and Satoshi said the most logical step to take at this point is to take down the blog and stuff.

Man you are reaching now! So now they're best friends?? Hahaha! And what evidence are you basing this on?  Forget tv, this is all the entertainment that I need!

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

Why WOULDN'T a cryptologist/programmer write a novel?   It's not just a book.  As mysterious as Nakamoto is, this only makes perfect sense. Go ahead and check out the link below.  Obviously, I'm not the only one...

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=35465.0

Starting with the assumption that this book did inspire bitcoin, and the assumption that one person wrote that book then there are two possible authors of bitcoin:
The author of that book, one single man.
Any of the many thousands of people read that book. Some of those readers will be professional programmers.

By balance of probabilities the author of that book isn't Satoshi.

Going around telling everyone that Paco is Satoshi is really going to mess up Paco's life regardless of him being or not being Satoshi. It seems a bit sick to witch hunt the person who gave us all a gift like bitcoin. If he wanted us to know who he was he would have told us. As he didn't maybe we should all just respect that.


Have you actually read this book?

if I had to go out on a "limb" I would say yes this guy is Satoshi - reason?  the moving of the article around + closest thing to making sense = Satoshi

I don't know. Satoshi should be a pretty smart guy and knows how to hide his identity. He should therefore also know that the worst thing to do when somebody points to an article you wrote as possible evidence, is to shift/hide it. It just screams guilty as charged. So if it was really Satoshi, I'd bet he would leave the article alone and maybe even write a followup thanking everybody for giving him the dubious honor of being equated to Satoshi Wink



It's all part of the game.  I just finished reading Paco Ahlgren's book, Discipline.  Mind blowing and busted. If he's not Satoshi, he's definitely associated with him.
