Dustin Trammell to Satoshi: BitCoin Transfer — confusion about a received transaction (January 18, 2009)

Hey Satoshi,

After that first transfer of 25.00, you didn’t send me another 100.00 did you? I sent myself 100.00 from my BitCoin application at work to my one at home using the BitCoin address rather than by IP. My application at home has a 100.00 transfer received, however it’s transaction details say “Received with: Satoshi 12higDjoCCNXSA95xZMWUdPvXNmkAduhWv”. That is not my BitCoin address from work, so I assume this means that I received the payment encoded with a block that was computed by your client? If so, how did it know your name in addition to the BitCoin address that generated it? I don’t recall there being a place in my application to even put my name.
