Bell Labs, eh? Well that tears it right there. Even Apple and Microsoft know Bell Labs doesn't give anything away for free...

Since Donal O'Mahony has been active and publishing his digital currency ideas why would he and his group in 2008 publish anonymously another version? PayMe's success left him unsatisfied?
Bitcoins were most likely somewhat based on his work but I wouldn't be willing to say he or his group are Satoshi Nakamoto. Has he been interviewed for his view on Bitcoins, its strengths and weaknesses?

Interesting findings, Phinnaeus.
When you say you read the archive of bitcoin.com, and it "lead you to" that book, how exactly did it lead you there? Did you google search whatever was on the archived page?

I was waiting for somebody to ask that question so that I can give the following response: I'm not saying at this time, but it's there in plain sight. ~Cackling Bear~

Hitesh TewariHitesh Tewari teamed up Michael Clear, along with A. Hughes, to pen Identity-Based Leveled Homomorphic Encryption from Learning With Errors and submitted to PKC 2012 in Darmstadt, Germany, on May 21-23, 2012. Clear, M., Hughes, A. and Tewari, H., Identity-Based Leveled Homomorphic Encryption from Learning With Errors, Submitted to The International Conference on Practice and Theory in Public-Key Cryptography (PKC) 2012PKC 2011 took place in Taormina, Italy, and its main sponsor was...wait for it...Google. The name of the host was Tom Williams (OK, so I made that one up). ~Cackling Bear~

I think you're onto something, Phinnaeus Gage. I'm not saying one person could not be responsible for the creation of Bitcoin, but it seems like a project more suited for a group of people. Especially anything in Japan.

Bitcoin Fact: the price of bitcoin will not be greater than $70k for more than 25 consecutive days at any point in the rest of recorded human history.

Edit: This thread was created to discuss the possibility that Donal O'Mahony, Michael Peirce, Hitesh Tewari and now Michael Clear (et al., possibly more) make up the Crypto Mano Group, referred to as CMG (mano is Irish for coin), an entity we currently label as Satoshi Nakamoto.

I think a lot of people have a necessity to brag and 3 can only keep a secret if 2 are dead. I vote for dead or in jail.

Introducing constraints to the economy only serves to limit what can be economical.

I think it makes sense for the guy to be Irish because there is a lot of UK centric stuff about "Satoshi" ( like that Telegraph article ) and all the Japan stuff is probably a distraction more or less.

Would it not be a positive thing for the inventor(s) of bitcoin to be recognised as such , and to contribute further to the bitcoin infrastructure (if that's not the case) , rather than the mysterious cloaked character of Satoshi Nakamoto?.

Looking around at bitcoin.com, Domaintools lists a 173.193.106.10 address out of Texas while Network Solutions lists the address as 66.246.76.246, which is Linode. archive.org only goes back to 2009 for bitcoin.com nothing for 2008. What is interesting is the micropayments for web apps model, which is different than the current view many hold with Bitcoins as a competing currency.

I saw that, too. Prior to posting this thread, I was in Tradehill/Dwolla mode when I found the following: http://siliconangle.com/blog/2011/08/24/tradehill-brightens-the-bitcoin-market-with-e-wallet-beta/That's when I went to archive.org and discovered that I was only one hop away from what I posted in the OP of this thread. ~Crackling Bear~

Hi all, I happened upon this thread purely by chance (I rarely visit bitcointalk.org much, mainly for Bitcoin exchange reviews the odd time) and was astonished to see Donal O' Mahony's name mentioned! I know Donal through his daughter, and personally I'd be quite surprised if he had anything to do with Bitcoin, although the fact remains that he is incredibly good with numbers, very intelligent, and I reckon he'd have the necessary skills to develop such a crypto-currency from an investment / understanding markets point of view. I'll see if I can find out anything more and post back know in a couple of days if I come up with anything, or if he's wearing his Satoshi Nakamoto hat and staying silent. Kind regards, - G
