I Think I Know Who Satoshi Is

[willphase]

Satoshi is not Shinichi Mochizuki.

Why, you may ask?

Simply because Satoshi wrote his bitcoin white paper in British English, not American English.

Satoshi (or the part of Satoshi that posted on the bitcoin forums) is more likely to be American than British:

I can't understand why you're having so much pain.  I just followed the instructions in build-unix.txt.  I made a couple little corrections for Boost 1.37, which I'll put on SVN the next time I update it, noted below:

British people never say 'couple little corrections' they always say 'couple of little corrections'.

People can make grammatical mistakes when they aren't paying attention. I often do when I do not read through what I've written.

So instead of a turbo genius, this guy considers it a more plausible explanation that he is a super-duper turbo genius.

How hard is to change all your correspondence to British spelling?

Spellcheck. So hard.

Yeah, writing style doesn't mean anything. If someone is that into anonymity, they would cover their tracks by having an online dialect different from their real one.

That video isn't correct, trust me you need to do your reach around it and you'll see why the guy is wrong

Never finding the identity of Satoshi is by far a better story.

I agree.

Hundreds of books, fairy tales, myths, movies will be produced...

Theater = American.
Theatre= British.

Functorially=American.
Functorialy=British.

color=American.
colour=British.

If you are looking for someone with an Asian heritage to be the real identity of Satoshi, you may want to atleast look into a British based English language education of the suspect. 'Princeton' is not British.

End of discussion

 

You'd also want to look for someone interested in austrian economics and cryptography.  I'm not sure if that fits Shinichi's profile.

I'd rather that no one finds Satoshi because he clearly went through a lot of trouble to be anonymous and probably doesn't want the attention.

Great video, interesting theory, but still way off in my opinion. This is much more likely...

Yossi Nagy Moti - sound familiar to anyone ?
