Dorian == Satoshi [1]
It's a desperate attempt to mislead.
[1] Here is Dorian making an in-person bitcoin purchase in July 2011: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7354326 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7354326
- pikachu_is_cool 13y agoThat is not a source. That's a random comment on the internet.
- duaneb 13y agoToo true. I depend on hacker news for many things, but being secure is not a bet I'd put money on. There are ways of making more provable claims in either direction--unless it's either attested multiple times in the past (so as to be difficult to doctor) or it's cryptographically signed or there's a convincing prosecution, I don't think we'll be confident about it.
- lotsofmangos 13y agoI would bet that anyone who is already very geeky and just happens to be called Satoshi Nakamoto has a much higher than normal chance of being a bitcoin early adopter.
- scott_karana 13y agoThat doesn't invalidate GP at all. If Dorian was a member of the group that eventually birthed Bitcoin, isn't it realistic that he'd be an early adopter, even if the pseudonym wasn't quite his?
