Good finding, but it seems Hal was not the only one to use double spaces. Look at this e-mail. The person he is replying to also does use double space. http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/openpgp/current/msg04987.htmlGoing thru' the list there are other users using double spaces after periods, looks like it was a usual behaviour in that mail list.

Double spaces after end of a sentence? I do that too. Isn't that normal? That's the way we were taught in school.

A better question is does Nick Szabo even exist, rather than is he who he claims to be. We have no photos of him, and the University he claims to work at denies he was ever employed there.
Is he a real person, or just another pseudonym like Satoshi Nakamoto? If he really is/was a professor, then surely students who went there would have had interactions with him and can verify that he exists.
What proof is there that Nick Szabo is a real person?

Nick is the second layer! ![Shocked](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/shocked.gif) Handful to go lol The only reason someone would go through all this trouble is they are A) A nutter B) The Government C) Truly and honestly believe their life would be in danger for an idea that hadn't yet been successful. My guess is B.

Why this search of "who is" for Bitcoin its better if Satoshi stays a myth at this point maybe later, maybe never IMO
So stop the witchhunt!

The reality is the real Satoshi has an incredible amount of wealth and power. People say, "It doesn't matter who created bitcoin," but it certainly does. It doesn't affect the code, that has been checked and rechecked. It doesn't affect us "why" he did it. What does affect everyone is that he owns 10%. Satoshi was a creater, an inventor. All inventors love to invent. What if...... he left bitcoin. What if he started working on a new project that was even better. If he wants to take ALL of the wealth in the bitcoin community to his new creation, he can easily do that. He sell out every buy wall, and drive the price down to $0.01 per bitcoin and keep it there. And when it is that low, nobody will buy. Then he can take all the money he made and transfer it into his new project. Everybody thinks he wouldn't do that. Steve Jobs moved Cube to Apple. That is just one example. Lots of inventors have turned their back on a previous invention only to incorporate it into a new product they feel is vastly greater. So yes, it matters who he is as long as he owns 10%. If he burns it, then it doesn't matter. If he even so much as touches a single block, the price will go down a lot. He can instantly devalue everyone's worth by 10% if he puts up a high wall. Everyone's money just lost 10%, but in reality more. And if he clears all the walls, which he can do, it is game over for bitcoin. So yeah, I would like to know who he is and what is plans are.

And when it is that low, nobody will buy.
I would assume people have a bigger incentive to buy if the price is relatively low. I would definitely buy a few thousand BTC at $0.01.

Satoshi, whoever you are, thank you, you really worked hard for everyone. Otsukaresama
Maybe it would be better to spend less time trying to find satoshi, and simply promote his ideals.
If you try to find satoshi, it will only give him troubles and waste his valuable time.
I feel that is something nobody here would like to do.

I agree, but someone made the argument that if the real satoshi comes forward, especially if he/she/they are spectacular in some way, the news would go nuts about it and tons of people would hear about Bitcoin. Imagine the media frenzy it would cause.

There has to be more easy to understand information. I don't even want to know who Satoshi is at this moment.

What if Nick Szabo is an Advanced A.I bot? Quietly promoting the ideals of Bitcoin, wouldn't that be awesome? A decentralized automated accounting system being maintained by autonomous A.I workers... crazyness. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Satoshi is from the future. In his timeline, he was very poor and bitcoin was invented in 2012 by someone else.
He sold everything he had and bought a one way ticket to come back in time to start bitcoin himself, so his future self would be a trillion-air and not need to travel back in time.

Years later, someone else would decide to sell everything for a one way ticket to the past so (s)he could invent bitcoin, and the history would repeat again ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) .

This is a picture of Nick Szabo: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cryptocoinsnews.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2014%2F04%2Fnakamoto.jpg&t=665&c=nluNVNS91-NKUg) He looks like a turtle. So is there zero pictures of Szabo? Bitcoin created by intelligent extraterrestrial turtles CONFIRMED.
