The hacker who recently attacked bitcointalk got the IP address each user registered through, and each user's last used IP address. He probably got two IP addresses used by Satoshi. Could those addresses reveal who Satoshi is if neither of them was a tor IP, or a VPN IP?

I very much doubt satoshi was dumb enough to leave traces of his IP behind especially when he went to all this trouble to stay anon. Besides, I think I read somewhere that theymos locked the account and removed any traces of his activity to stop people trying to hack into it for that reason.

Yeap, apart from that nobody is allowed to register an account name with the name Satoshi in it.
Try it and you will see I am right.
(Yes I tried it too  Wink )

What does that have to do with anything I said? And two or three donators changed their name to satoshi the other day. Not sure how they did it, though.

Well, you did mention that Theymos went through several precautional steps to ensure that satoshis account and name doesn't get tampered with.
I just said that he also went through the trouble of not allowing anyone to register using the founders name - Satoshi.

Does that not sound like relevant to you?  Roll Eyes

Not really. You said 'apart from' which doesn't make sense unless you are disagreeing with something I said.

Seriously now?
You did not find it relevant because I said "apart from", as in apart from what he said.....

Seriously?
