Yes. That's the Shamir as in rSa.

Excellent article.

I'll just quote the essence of it for the TL;DR people.

A January 2009 address was used to send bitcoins to DPR. That's the thrust of the article and claim (probably valid) of Ron and Rivest.  Whoop dee doo.

Probably of no consequence but could shake the markets at a time no one can put fiat money into an exchange. That's rather clever at least...

Conspiracy theory:
Jan. 2009 address was obviously an early adopter and perhaps a current member of the bitcoin foundation. The large sum was used to entice DPR make a "messy mistake" allowing the feds to better trace him over the next 6-7 months before finally nabbing him.

That's quite interesting.  Maybe the prices will fall very hard, and we can all buy more bitcoins at a cheaper price Cheesy  But I doubt it will do much.

Hehe, Satoshi Nakamoto is able to design a complex cryptographically secure p2p cryptocurrency, but is unable to create a website like how DPR got caught looking for developers.

Ergo, we need to commission two former Boy Scout leaders to destroy whatever is causing this to echo.

I definitely agree here, I don't think he could make Bitcoin, and not make a website.

they are definitely not the same. i've seen a few of satoshi's posts.. he seems much smarter than ulbricht, who hid in plain sight (with a trail on him).

ulbricht couldn't keep his mouth shut and kept talking about his ideology, even doing an interview with forbes (i think it was?).

group is possible.. big brother doesn't seem to be that against bitcoin though, so even if we found out who satoshi is.. what would really happen to him?

How about this; Ross as Satoshi's fall guy, now that they got him they can stop looking right?

This is not some pseudoeconomic post-modern Libertarian cult, it's an un-led, crowd-sourced mega startup organized around mutual self-interest where problems, whether of the theoretical or purely practical variety, are treated as temporary and, ultimately, solvable.
Censorship of e-gold was easy. Censorship of Bitcoin will be… entertaining.

What if the original creator of SilkRoad, that he *allegedly* bought it from, was Satoshi!

Well, last I heard another SilkRoad has been paved. So it's apparent that the scheme is in full throttle.

seems like there are 2 schools when it comes to SR/ulbricht..

one is: it's the FBI setting up a trap to catch you all dummies.

two: ulbricht was part of a group and did not act by himself. the system was set so that if one guy were caught, the other guys would pick up where he left off.

i think #2 makes the most sense to me.
