Has anyone performed a stylometric analysis of the initial Bitcoin core against code published by the usual suspects? Are there any code samples out there attributed to Szabo?

I don't think szabo wrote the code. I think someone helped him "code one up" if you know what i mean!

I think the code along with bitcoin was likely written/created by more than one person. Bitcoin just seems like a community effort from the start.

I think we came to a good consensus in this thread that BitCoin was mostly created in the comment sections of the "Nanobarter", "BitGold" & "BitGold-Markets" blogs. What happened in private emails and Meet-ups may never be known. Szabo & Zooko or maybe Jim McCoy? We may never know. IMHO...Nick Szabo's "BitGold" and Hal Finney's "RPOW" along with Jim McCoys "MojoNation" and Adam Back's "HashCash" made all this possible in one way or another. They had dedicated their lives since at least 1993 to bring p2p anonymous digital currency to us.
