I know I don't.

Satoshi Nakamoto wrote code that was not usual. He had many quirks. We can find him by comparing his code with others, but no one did that yet.

When I first saw their code, I thought "Satoshi is not a programmer" because of how weird it was. He didn't follow normal code practices that were modern at that time.

He made big use of locks when it was out of fashion. He used Hungarian notation which was no longer used. He made spaghetti function recursion and never used objects to encapsulate processes. He also targeted Windows.

All of this indicate an older person, possibly not a software dev but from a close domain like engineering or physics. His whitepaper hinted at a background with a practical focus but not a mathematician.

The code was highly idiosyncratic and personal including the style itself. Analysis of the code will tell us everything.

You can even compare the code from 2008 with the code in 2010, and the way Satoshi writes code doesn't change. You can actually see the change from proof of concept to hacked up Satoshi node.

Whenever anyone says X is Satoshi, my first response is always "show me the code". This should be our default position.

But no Bitcoin coder (including myself) cares enough to do this. We're all so busy with real work. And I guess we also respect Satoshi-kun's wishes. Even writing this post showing how we can find him feels almost like a betrayal.

To be fair to Peter Todd, he handled it well and didn't try to claim undue credit.

Last night, HBO published a documentary that claims to reveal the identity of Bitcoin’s creator, Satoshi Nakamoto.

We believe this narrative goes against the very ethos of Bitcoin and strongly oppose this kind of sensationalism.

Speculating on Satoshi’s identity isn’t just unnecessary; it’s irresponsible and dangerous.

The power of Bitcoin lies in its design, and Satoshi’s anonymity has been essential in allowing Bitcoin to grow free from individual influence.

This isn’t a flaw—it’s one of Bitcoin’s greatest strengths.

Knowing who Satoshi is wouldn’t contribute anything positive to Bitcoin; instead, it would create a target, invite unnecessary attention, and compromise the principles on which Bitcoin was founded.

We discourage this type of speculative behavior and urge everyone to respect Satoshi’s choice to remain anonymous.

Let’s focus on advancing Bitcoin for a freer future, and honor the decisions that have allowed it to flourish.

I’m not even trying to earn a living from value4value🤷

I dedicate my work to Bitcoin and freedom tech, because in a world of wars, human rights abuses, corporate and governmental surveillance, ...and on goes the list.., it's crucial to have tools for people's self-defense and for millions it's really about survival.

The ingenious thing about boostagrams and zaps is that they are direct and visible, which is to say, public and interactive. They are neither regular transactions nor simple donations---they are something else entirely. An unforgable value signal, a special form of gratitude and appreciation.
