I've seen a few posts about early emails on systems like bitcoin (Like hashcash) and am trying to bring up could satoshi possibly be the names of the people who satoshi based bitcoin off of? Obviously he was aware of these people's work, could he of used tricks they used and included a letter of their name in the alias?
For those of you who don't know what an acronym is
S- Sander (or Szabo) A- Adam Back T- Ta-Shma O- xxxxx (Orange) S- Szabo (or Sander) H- xxxxxx (Happy) I- xxxxxx (Igloo)
I don't know any more so I can't fill it out, maybe you can?
Emails that brought up the question: marc.info/?l=cypherpunks&m=95280154629925&w=4 marc.info/?l=cypherpunks&m=95280154629912&w=2
There are more on that page, also use your own knowledge.
Anyway, enjoy your day. Just thought I'd bring something that'll keep you busy for the rest of your life.
EDIT: I DIDN'T MAKE THIS CLEAR, THE PEOPLES WHOS NAME ARE IN THAT ACRONYM ABOVE ARE ALL PEOPLE WHO'VE DONE WORK ON CRYPTOSYSTEMS LIKE BITCOIN.

I don't think we will ever know who Satoshi is.. At least he/she/they want to tell. I personally believe Satoshi is a group of people, but there is a leader who posted the questions, etc at the beginning. What would be interesting to find out is if the person that posted here as Satoshi, did it come from one ip address? or from one area?
I think its going to be a mystery for a very long time...

It could be an acronym or something but I think people are looking too much into what is probably just a pseudonym he picked.

What about this: I'm inclined to lean toward the following reason: http://www.wired.com/magazine/2011/11/mf_bitcoin/When they weren’t busy mining, the faithful tried to solve the mystery of the man they called simply Satoshi. On a bitcoin IRC channel, someone noted portentously that in Japanese Satoshi means “wise.” Someone else wondered whether the name might be a sly portmanteau of four tech companies: SAmsung, TOSHIba, NAKAmichi, and MOTOrola. It seemed doubtful that Nakamoto was even Japanese. His English had the flawless, idiomatic ring of a native speaker.

That SAmsung, TOSHIba, NAKAmichi, and MOTOrola thing is cool, but again I just think people are looking too much into what is just a name.

I just think it's a pseudonym but maybe he picked it because of the meanings behind the name: http://www.coindesk.com/information/who-is-satoshi-nakamoto/“Satoshi” means “clear thinking, quick witted; wise”. “Naka” can mean “medium, inside, or relationship”. “Moto” can mean “origin”, or “foundation”. Those things would all apply to the person who founded a movement by designing a clever algorithm. The problem, of course, is that each word has multiple possible meanings.

Haha I haven't seen that one before. I'm sure you could come up with many different conspiracies or connections if you spent some time on it.

I believe it's a pseudonym but just one that a bit of thought went into to make it a bit more mysterious.

I think he just wanted people to build up conspiracies and theories behind the name. I think he's playing with us. I would like to know more details about him though.

I think he just picked a common first name and last name from a country he likes. In this case japan, and mixed them.
I doubt there's anything behind the name, as he seems to value his privacy he wouldn't leave clues to trace his identity.
