π₯π° Bitcoin: Satoshi Nakamoto Emailing Satoshi Nakamoto?
π₯ These are emails between Satoshi and Adam Back. For context, Adam Back is the Blockstream CEO and cryptography pioneer behind Hashcash - an early system to combat denial-of-service attacks that influenced Bitcoin's proof-of-work mining. These emails provide rare direct communication between the original Bitcoin white paper author and Adam Back in Bitcoin's formative days. The emails themselves cover technical discussions around cryptography, proof-of-work systems, and digital payments.
πBut here's where it gets interesting: Adam Back himself is the top contender for being Satoshi. I personally am convinced he is - for a lot of reasons: right place, right time, right age, correct skill set, academic type, use of Hash Cash, complimentary activity phases, etc.
These emails then may well be Satoshi emailing Satoshi - a classic alias maneuver.
Notably, in the emails, it may be noticed that both Adam Back and Satoshi use double spaces after full stops. Not that common a style. And with all other evidence, this may well add to it - though some people may disagree on the commonality of double spaces. This commonality has been noted earlier separately for them.
πPS: A side note on the language style - it should be increasingly clear that Satoshi's roots are likely not in Japan...
