What? How could Satoshi perform such a blunder compromising his identity?
i'm not so sure it was a blunder or that he compromised his identity... if I heard 1000 voices i'd never be able to pick it out from a lineup, it may have been any other of the devs that worked on bitcoin early, immediately after its release. Unless we could find a chat transcript from the channel that shows a timestamp I'm not exactly sure when this took place other than a general time frame it could have been any time before or after the release of the bitcoin protocol to the wild.
especially since at the time, in my head i was thinking, "this will never work, but cool idea!" and i quickly forgot about the entire incident probably pretty instantly since i fell asleep and never spoke to this person or repeated the act again. It's just ya know, I had a moment with an early adopter of bitcoins that may or may not have been satoshi or one of the people on Team Satoshi, and ever since getting into bitcoin i've always wanted to put the thoughts to rest.. I already know what could have been, since the guy sent me the client and I could have mined 10's of thousands of coins with my CPU at some point had I just got on board with my first run in with bitcoin.
