[2016-02-04] Polish Programmer Claims He Is Not Satoshi Nakamoto

[shane]

The latest individual, or in this case, pair of individuals suspected of being Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto, has denied accusations. Pawel Pszona, a Polish programmer was believed by username BountyHunter2012 to be Satoshi Nakamoto. Pszona published a Master’s thesis paper in 2007 as a student with the help of his professor Dr. Grzegorz Stachowiak titled “Unlinkable Divisible Digital Cash without Trusted Third Party.”

Besides a vaguely similar ethos shared between Pszona’s publication and that behind Bitcoin, two Japanese cryptographers with the names of Toru Nakanishi and Tatsuaki Okamoto were found in the bibliography of the thesis. It was asserted that Nakanishi and Okamoto’s surnames were merged to form “Nakamoto” and “Satoshi” was likely just a random Japanese first name added to form the Bitcoin creator’s pseudonym.

It's funny a "minstream" crypto news source has picked up this story.

Here is a link to the main thread here on BTCT about the subject.

Its crazy actually, people don't realize that claiming someone to be Satoshi without actual proofs can really bring trouble to that person's life and their family. And news site should do research before putting anything up.

Hal Finney and Nick Szabo has merit but Craig Wright was a total scam. I liked the Pawel Pszona theory more than any of the other conspiracy theories. Even though all of this is very entertaining, we should consider the impact of this on innocent people and also respect the choice that was made by Satoshi to remain anonymous.

Most of these attempts to unmask Satoshi, is merely a witch hunt or an attempt to get attention. Give Satoshi the privacy and the safety that anonymity gives.

The name combination can't be a coincidence, can it? Amazing luck if it is.
