Read the authors: S. Nakamoto, BitCoin Huh?

• abricot 6y ago
  I wonder if there is any verification
  • rini17 6y ago
    He is assumed to have mined many coins back in the beginning and he can verify himself by spending them.

      They are unlikely to do so since those coins are massively looked upon and they're very careful about not disclosing their identity.
    • lozf 6y ago
      It's not necessary to spend to verify, the Bitcoin protocol allows a signed message to demonstrate ownership of the private key for an address.

  Satoshi Nakamoto came up with the Base58 encoding in the original Bitcoin whitepaper. It's fair to credit him in some manner even if he didn't have any direct involvement in this most recent standards doc.

    I would doubt that he wrote this article. There was no public appearance of him in the last ten years.

      Sorry, it was in the code repo when he released Bitcoin.
