Surfaced: Email conversation between Satoshi and Adam Back

[suzanne5223]

I guess Satoshi somehow had some good conversation with Adam Back. He's truly a cryptography genius so that's why Satoshi needed to introduce the concept of Bitcoin to him first. It's amazing to know that Adam back told Satoshi about B-money, which is kind of a strange thing.

I guess, those e-mail conversations could give a clue to many people that who Satoshi can be, but they still won't be able to find the mysterious creator of Bitcoin. I'm sure they'll try their best to force Adam to know more details about Satoshi based on those e-mails.

Yes, he was but Adam Back is not the one Satoshi Nakamoto once introduced the Bitcoin concept to before the official launch of BTC. It depends on whether each individual Satoshi had a conversation with before the BTC launch wants to keep the conversation private or not. Remember, he ^(Satoshi) once had a conversation and also asked for Theymos's assistance before the launch of BTC.

He did and was one of the first persons to be contacted by Satoshi. So many things are unfolding and people are piecing the pieces together. This is not the first time I have heard that Satoshi emailed Adam Back. There was an interview I listed to on soundcloud about many years ago when he talked about this.

It is humbling that we have OGs like Adam who knew Satoshi. Personally, I do not think he is Satoshi. Maybe Hal but not him and definitely not Wright.

Adam Back loves Bitcoin and he wants to protect it so he released his very old emails back and forth with Satoshi Nakamoto in court against Craig Wright trial.

Your post has something wrong. Adam Back only had some discussions with Satoshi Nakamoto through email but Adam did not know who is Satoshi Nakamoto. Even Hal Finney likely did not know real identity of Satoshi Nakamoto and about Hal Finney, there is conspiracy theory that Hal is Satoshi.

Jameson Lopp wrote a long blog post to prove Hal Finney is not Satoshi Nakamoto.

Hal Finney Was Not Satoshi Nakamoto.

I found two things interesting in these email exchanges between Back and satoshi:

- Satoshi apparently didn't know about B-Money at the time Adam asked them about it. Perhaps, it was on purpose. Someone with such knowledge surely made enough research about previous experiments with digital cash and came across B-Money. If they did know about it and pretended they didn't, the question is why? Perhaps it was one of their early failures, and satoshi didn't want that their involvement in the project to be known. Or I am just a conspiracy theorist.  

- Satoshi said about their Bitcoin paper that "we propose a situation." It can mean a group of people who worked on it or it was another trick of satoshi. Maybe something similar they did with the changes between British and American English. Sometimes they would write in American English, in other examples in British.

I'm happy that different people united against Craig Wright in the UK court set out to settle the matter of whether Craig is a fraud. It's lovely to see new evidence, something written by Satoshi, that was not public before. The style does sound like Satoshi's style to me (based on Bitcointalk posts by Satoshi). I suppose that's another good thing that the ongoing lawsuit can bring us: more information about what Satoshi discussed and with whom. These particular emails are quite short, though, so I'm not sure they're adding much.

I don’t think they can track and get to know who the real Satoshi is through that email sent to Adam. Adam could also have no clue to it since Satoshi always wanted to remain anonymous and not known. With the knowledge of cryptography they had and how wide they’re in technical terms of this century’s digital technology, they can anonymously continue chatting with each other till day without the parties knowing the whereabouts or any traceable clue of each other if they chose to.

Perhaps it was one of their early failures, and satoshi didn't want that their involvement in the project to be known. Or I am just a conspiracy theorist.  

B-money has been in existence as history shows, so it could just be as you’ve assumed it, they didn’t want their involvement in the failed project or make Adam or others think that they got to build on the idea of the past project to make theirs work.

Hmmm this story is getting interesting. If I may ask, do you think one cannot trace the email information, location as at the time the message was sent?. I think the information contained in his email might give a clue to who he is and the rest.
 In other way round , is it necessary to know who he is? . Do you think the government won't go after him.  In as much as the system built brings decentralization , I think is of no use. My opinion though

Satoshi did a very great job in keeping himself anonymous as he did in investing bitcoin, just imagine if they knew him in person, government would have arrested him or try to make him bring the asset under their control , one thign saving bitcoin is the fact that its run by an open source developers and no one actually has control over anything.

i have already posted the mails in the thread of GazetaBitcoin, which is actually the right one for me:
Bitcoin: The dream of Cypherpunks, libertarians and crypto-anarchists

and indeed, these are very important documents that are destined for eternity (as is BTCitcoin)

That doesn't feel right, because if Satoshi really wanted to disconnect himself from the name "Wei Dai", he wouldn't have used it as the very first reference of the whitepaper. Perhaps, he really didn't know it. I mean, isn't it possible?

I know. That Wei Dai text looks unusually familiar, but does it contain incredible coincidences? I wouldn't say so. There's more than a reasonable doubt to me.
