Satoshi's only gender marker is one field on a profile this archive doubts throughout — yet it still calls him 'himself.' Every named candidate male, one naming choice, a decade nobody checked.
A curated way in: questions about Satoshi Nakamoto and Bitcoin history, each pointing to where this archive answers it in full.
No block-size limit, one company's reference client, and five 51%-attack reorgs in a single year — Bitcoin SV's design record, measured against the 'original protocol' it set out to restore.
Bitcoin Cash inherited Bitcoin's ledger and 21 million cap at the 2017 fork, then split twice more under implementation teams with no single founder to arbitrate.
Twelve chains, sorted by what each one's issuance rule settles about the price of a single unit — and by how much of that price the rule never touches.
His legal name was, literally, Satoshi Nakamoto — and a 2014 Newsweek cover story named him. The evidence, weighed.
The only candidate who claimed the identity himself — declared in coordinated BBC and Economist interviews in May 2016, cryptographic proof in hand. The evidence, weighed.
He wrote E4M, then built a criminal empire. The case Evan Ratliff, author of The Mastermind, set out in 2019 for Paul Le Roux as Satoshi, weighed.
Why Bitcoin's 2015-2017 fork wars ran as identity contests, not OSS disputes: the post-2011 authority vacuum, the economic weight on rule choices, and the three layers that bound code to currency.
French software engineer. Founded Bitcoin ABC, led the 2017 BCH hard fork, defended BCH in the 2018 BSV hash war, led the 2020 split into eCash.
Genealogy of every Bitcoin protocol fork that left a separate chain alive (Bitcoin Cash, SV, Gold) and the adjacent cryptocurrencies derived from Bitcoin (Namecoin, Litecoin, Dogecoin).
Bitcoin SV (Satoshi Vision) split from Bitcoin Cash on November 15, 2018, and a hash war with the Bitcoin ABC faction followed. The SV chain restored larger blocks and 'original' opcodes.
Bitcoin Institute reanalysis of van Dorst's stylometric corpus for the five most-cited candidates. Finding: Szabo top at 4.67th percentile of 12,739 authors; 594 unnamed rank closer; corpus is noisy.
Hashcash's inventor and the first person Satoshi contacted. In April 2026 the NYT named him the closest stylometric match among 620 cryptography-mailing-list writers. The evidence, weighed.
Reads the asymmetry between public attempts to identify Satoshi, the surviving material trail, and the persistent identification gap.
Structural reading of how "Satoshi Nakamoto" remained unidentified across development, public phase, and withdrawal. Six layers: pseudonym, channels, language, env, genesis constants, handover.
A reply that read like the continuation of Satoshi's thought — and two days later, Satoshi went silent. The evidence for HBO's Peter Todd identification, weighed.
Recurring Satoshi candidates aligned across four independent layers — profile match, stylometric attribution, direct correspondence, and development environment.
Technical analysis of Bitcoin's genesis block from v0.1 source: hardcode auto-construction, the five-day gap as timestamp artifact, two-layer authorship reading, PoW headroom, key possession.
Canadian cryptographer, Bitcoin Core developer. Proposed Replace-by-Fee, built OpenTimestamps. Joined BitcoinTalk as retep in Dec 2010. Named a Satoshi candidate by HBO in 2024 (denied).
Mike Hearn testifies at the COPA v Wright trial, recounting his direct interactions with Satoshi and describing how Wright failed his technical check questions at a 2016 dinner.
After the London High Court ordered bitcoin.org to remove the Bitcoin whitepaper, Cobra responded on Twitter with a critique declaring cryptographic rules superior to court-enforced ones.
Cobra (also Cøbra): Pseudonymous operator and guardian of bitcoin.org, the website originally registered by Satoshi in 2008. Chose to lose a copyright suit by default rather than reveal his identity.
Software developer (born 1966), founder of Wasabi Software, creator of the Bitcoin Faucet. Chosen by Satoshi to lead the project; served as Bitcoin lead maintainer from 2010 to 2014.
Craig Wright publicly declared himself Satoshi in BBC, Economist and GQ interviews. His blog cryptographic proof was quickly debunked — he had reused a 2009 transaction signature.
Craig Wright sued bitcoin.org operator Cobra over Bitcoin whitepaper copyright. Cobra refused to reveal his identity, resulting in a default judgment ordering bitcoin.org to remove the whitepaper.
Adam Back reflects on his August 2008 email exchange with Satoshi, his regret at not reading the whitepaper carefully, and his COPA v Wright testimony where the complete chain became public.
During Day 13 of COPA v Wright, Martti Malmi testified via video link and submitted 260 emails (140,000 words) exchanged with Satoshi between May 2009 and February 2011, published on GitHub.
