The search for who is really hiding behind the fake name Satoshi Nakamoto, of the mysterious creator of Bitcoin, seems to have just finished, and now, we can finally know who is responsible for the creation of the cryptocurrency.
According to recent leaked documents from old and deleted articles on blogs and interviews, the people responsible for creating Bitcoin are an Australian businessman, Craig Wright, and the deceased Dave Kleiman, a computer expert in the US .
What makes this "result" stand out from the other rumors circulating about his true identity? Satoshi Nakamoto ? It is that this is the result of two parallel investigations carried out by its journalists Wired and Gizmodo. Past investigations by journalists from the New Yorker, Fast Company, New York Times, and Newsweek predicted different or dubious results.
According to the data revealed by the two websites, Craig Wright has in 2005 published scientific papers on cryptocurrency and triple-entry bookkeeping, which proves that he had the scientific knowledge to build cryptocurrency.
Δεύτερον, ο Wright δημοσίευσε επίσης πολλά σχετικά άρθρα στα προσωπικά blogs του, τα οποία έχουν μεν διαγραφεί, αλλά παρέμειναν αποθηκευμένα σε archives και σε caches στο Web. Το 2009, μία ημέρα μετά την έναρξη του Bitcoin, ο Wright έγραφε, “Η Beta έκδοση του Bitcoin θα είναι online αύριο. Αυτό είναι αποκεντρωμένο … Θα προσπαθήσουμε μέχρι να λειτουργήσει.”
In addition, Wright used an email address in the form satoshin@vistomail.com. Later, official communication with Satoshi Nakamoto was done via email satoshi@vistomail.com.
Wired provided excerpts from emails leaked between Wright and his lawyer, which talked about distributing P2P books and a research paper entitled "Electronic Cash Without a Trusted Third Party."
There are emails with exchanges of views between Wright and Kleiman to create a so-called Tulip Trust Fund worth 1,1 million Bitcoins, which will later remain one of the biggest fortunes in the Bitcoin blockchain, which many claim to belong to Satoshi Nakamoto.
In addition, Wright was also an avid reader and subscriber to Cypherpunks lists, dating back to the 90s. Later, he would create two supercomputers, which he named one Sukuriputo Okane (Script Money in Japanese), and the other Co1n. Co1n remains the largest privately owned supercomputer to date.
All these elements show a genius who has a mania with cryptography.
At the same time revealing the secret identity of Wright the newspaper The Guardian reported that properties belonging to him (his home and office) were raided by the Australian police. Australian authorities said the raids were linked to a research which is done by the Australian Taxation Office.
