Ted Nelson has this video claiming he may know who Satoshi is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=emDJTGTrEm0

For the record, Ted Nelson is some serious shit. He came up with a web-like idea in the 1960s.

Finding Satoshi

Why am I getting a weird vibe about this Satoshi hunt?

Mr. Ted Nelson reminds me of "Hadden" from Contact (1997). A cool and wise old intellectual.

Bleh. I highly doubt it. This guy doesn't have a programming background..

I have not looked at what satoshi have programmed, but it's mainly logic and and math. A math genius should not have any problem at learning to making a fair program from a little reading of the net.

BitCoin is NOT a pyramid - it's a pagoda.

There are billions of people on this planet and many may match the profile expected of Satoshi.

And Gavin said that Satoshi wasn't an excellent programmer.

So true! Whether or not Nelson is correct, I absolutely loved his presentation. Smiley

Satoshi is not Shinichi Mochizuki.

Why, you may ask?

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

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.

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

Spellcheck. So hard.

I just registered for the $PLOTS presale! Thank you @plotsfinance for allowing me to purchase tokens at the discounted valuation of only $0.015 per token, a special offer for anyone who participated in the airdrop. Tier II round is for the public at $0.025 per token. Allocation is very limited and you need to register first using the official Part III link found on their twitter.

You have it the wrong way around based on the timeline

Having a good proper English spellcheck is actually hard, compared to the many american based ones you get for free with most writing software tools these days. Darn you Americans owning the world lol.

So if Satoshi has great British writing style in 2009, why is Shinichi Mochizuki so very very american. it could be argued that a British expert would use a cheap software defaulted to American and allowed all of the British spellings be transformed into American.

But an American writing the white paper AND many, many lines of code and emails over several months to write in British style. now that takes some effort.

remember Satoshi did not just write the white paper, there is code in the github and email correspondence which can show that Satoshi's writing is very much British education based.

although i do not care about Satoshi's true identity, i do like to correct people when they are grabbing at straws.

i will now leave you with a quote from someone else with a hidden identity:
