Bitcoin Original - Forensic Preservation

[MicroGuy]

I haven't posted here in a while, but I thought this might be an interesting topic. I've asked AI to compare Satoshi's commit style with some of his final commits. We've reproduced this original source code and refactored it to C++ 23.

While the AI may be off the wall and inaccurate, it seemed confident that the final commits by Satoshi Nakamoto were not consistent with his earlier protocol and practices.

If I'm being honest with you since this is about AI you won't get the gist you are looking for here...

I'm not sure if I have any expectations. My primary motivation for posting this here was to get feedback on the findings.

About programming style of Satoshi Nakamoto, Jameson Lopp wrote about it in his article Why Hal Finney was not Satoshi Nakamoto?

You can explore more about it here but this article only gives you some supplementary information while I understand that your topic is about another objective even it is about coding.

Inconsistencies in Coding Styles

Some have claimed stylistic similarities between Hal’s and Satoshi’s public writing, but I know nothing of stylometric analysis thus I can't comment on the veracity of that claim. What I can confidently state is that their code is quite different.

We can compare Hal’s Reusable Proofs of Work code against the original Bitcoin client and several differences are immediately apparent.
