The search for who really hides behind the fake name of Satoshi Nakamoto, its mysterious creator Bitcoin, seems to have just been completed, and now, we can finally know who is responsible for creating 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 her real his identity Satoshi Nakamoto ? It is that this is the result of two parallel investigations carried out by its journalists Wired and Gizmodo. Earlier journalist surveys from New Yorker, Fast Company, New York Times, and Newsweek have provided different or dubious results.
According to the data revealed by the two sites, Craig Wright has published 2005 scientific papers on cryptocurrency and triple accounting, which proves to have the scientific knowledge for the construction of cryptocurrency.
Second, Wright also posted a number of related articles on his personal blogs, which have been deleted but have been archived and cached on the Web. In 2009, one day after the launch of Bitcoin, Wright wrote, “The Beta version of Bitcoin will be online tomorrow. This is decentralized. We will try until it works. "
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 leaked emails between Wright and his lawyer, which talked about P2P distribution of ledgers and a research paper titled “Electronic Cash Without a Trusted Third Party” [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 will create two supercomputers, who named one of them Sukuriputo Okane (Script Money in Japanese), and the other Co1n. Co1n remains to this day the largest super-computer owned by a private person.
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 there was an Australian police raid on property belonging to him (in his home and office). The Australian authorities said the raids were related to a survey by the Australian Tax Office.
