Has anyone performed a stylometric analysis of the initial Bitcoin core against code published by the usual suspects? Are there any code samples out there attributed to Szabo?
Tool: https[Suspicious link removed]l.edu/index.php/JStylo-Anonymouth
I don't think szabo wrote the code. I think someone helped him "code one up" if you know what i mean! I think the code along with bitcoin was likely written/created by more than one person. Bitcoin just seems like a community effort from the start. I think we came to a good consensus in this thread that BitCoin was mostly created in the comment sections of the "Nanobarter", "BitGold" & "BitGold-Markets" blogs. What happened in private emails and Meet-ups may never be known. Szabo & Zooko or maybe Jim McCoy? We may never know. IMHO...Nick Szabo's "BitGold" and Hal Finney's "RPOW" along with Jim McCoys "MojoNation" and Adam Back's "HashCash" made all this possible in one way or another. They had dedicated their lives since at least 1993 to bring p2p anonymous digital currency to us. http://unenumerated.blogspot.com/2007/06/nanobarter.html?m=1http://unenumerated.blogspot.com/2005/12/bit-gold.html?m=1http://unenumerated.blogspot.com/2008/04/bit-gold-markets.html?m=1

probabilistic Byzantine consensus (sometimes also called Nakamoto consensus)
Who the hell calls it Nakamoto consensus?! Nobody ever until now!
Bonus points: double-space!
Szabo is fucking with us...
FWIW, among Cryptologists the block chain is known as the "Nakamoto Consensus Protocol". It's now a well-studied approach to the Byzantine Generals Problem. Cryddit.

It is now, but it never was before he launched Bitcoin.

Bitcoin's whitepaper and code are treated pretty much exactly the same as a paper and code presented at a conference by any cryptographer. They've picked it up just as though it were an academic publication, and attached his name to it. I'm saying, it's not at all surprising for somebody with any connection to the cryptography community, writing any time since its publication just before the beginning of 2009, to refer to a "Nakamoto Consensus" or to the "Nakamoto Consensus Protocol."

What is your opinion on the fact that Satoshi writes in the same style as Szabo and unlike any of the other known identities around the crypto community?

What is all your opinion that John Nash writes in the same way Szabo and Satoshi does: http://sites.stat.psu.edu/~babu/nash/money.pdfquasi-doctrine consid-erations util-ity longer-term multi-dimensional cen-tury NON-LINEAR non-linear game-theoretic speak-ing op-erating non-European non-typical
Also has every single MO of Satoshi and Szabo, and interestingly enough has been touring the world for the last 20 years talking about bitcoin and what it is going to do to the Keynesian banking system. Am I still to believe, after all this...that each of you believes that Thomas Edison invented bitcoin? Also perhaps this is too far but is there a face behind Szabo's twitter picture? ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fs13.postimg.org%2Fbof2hhrmf%2Ftester_2.png&t=666&c=1rIJThnyHxxGEw)

Ray, the earliest version of the pre-release code I've found is dated 11/15/08, a couple weeks after Satoshi's post. Did someone else from the list put it together, or was he the direct author?

The November 2008 code is directly from Satoshi. He posted to the crypto list. Hal Finney and I were discussing it with him, and he sent us that archive in mid November. I forwarded the Archive to Sergio Lerner and posted it here a few years later.
