I've always been certain Szabo is Satoshi but even more convinced after hearing the pod-cast. He seems to go out of his way to refer to Satoshi in the third person. Also the fact that no-one really knows much about Szabo shows that here is an individual who is very careful about protecting his identity. I think also that Andreas knows that he is Satoshi - he's almost referential is his questions to Szabo.
Well..no.Satoshi's white paper propose a solution for small casual transaction, just read his introduction.
If Szabo is Satoshi then he changed his mind.
Yeah, I thought this was interesting too. I tend to fall in the Szabo is Satoshi camp but Szabo is really clear lately that a main goal wasn't small transactions which seems to be at odds with Satoshi's vision. So I agree he would have had to change his mind. Another possibilty could be Satoshi was Szabo and several other people, and the others disagreed on that point.
Satoshi also mentions payment channels which are an integral part of Bitcoin. It's quite obvious the Bitcoin blockchain is not ideal nor desired for small casual transactions
Where can I read Satoshi's quotes addressing the small transaction volume problem? I wonder if he predicted something like blockstream being built on top of Bitcoin to deal with small transactions. What has his view on this on-chain/off-chain duality? I must know.
