Is it really possible to stay anonymous for this long? Nakamoto bought the bitcoin.org domain at one point - we know this for sure. Surely someone can track how this was paid for? Someone running the forum he posted on has IPs it came from. Even if it was through a VPN, that can be traced by going to the host provider, right?
This person left a long digital trail. How is this not traceable?
- SkyMarshal 7y agoMaybe he used a prepaid card for the domain and a different one for the VPN (which doesn't log), or maybe he did everything through TOR. Not hard to be untraceable for someone capable of inventing Bitcoin.
- exolymph 7y agoDo registrars accept pre-paid Visa "gift cards" and the like? Those were much less restricted circa 2009, right? (I could be wrong, that's just my general impression)
