Finding Nakamoto

Satoshi Nakamoto invented bitcoin in 2008.

Who is he? In the past few years, there have been no shortage of theories:

Tatsuaki Okamoto, a researcher at NTT, the Japanese telecom company.

Micheal Clear, a 23-year old graduate student at Trinity College, Dublin.

Vili Lehdonvirta, a Finnish programmer.

Shinichi Mochizuki, a math professor at Kyoto University.

Neal King, Vladimir Oksman, and/or Charles Bry, whose names were on a 2008 patent application for “updating and distributing encryption keys”.

Jed McCaleb, the co-founder of now defunct bitcoin exchange Mt Gox.

Dustin Trammell, a security researcher.

Or, Satoshi Nakamoto, a 64-year old, LA-area, Prius-driving model-train enthusiast, who Newsweek’s Leah McGrath Goodman tracked down with the help of forensic researchers.

Or not Satoshi Nakamoto, according to Satoshi Nakamoto. -- Ben Walsh
