I'm not sure if this matter has been mentioned in previous threads but there is something that I think people have missed. In a blogpost
https://medium.com/@offgrid/who-is-satoshi-nakamoto-my-theory-bec3e4ef0c24 it is mentioned that the founder of Zcash, mr. Zooko published his paper on Tahoe-Lafs on
18 August 2008 , the same day Satoshi Nakamoto registered
bitcoin.org . It was published to StorageSS 2008.
Just after Bitcoin v.0.1. was released Zooko was informed. He mentioned it on his blog in January 2009. We are talking about a person with the knowledge of C++, but he was not a Linux dude. Did Satoshi review the Zooko work or even help him out?
