I was not aware of this. I'll start researching the 2007 cypherpunks articles and such. Do you think you could post the source regarding the relation between Satoshi and Cypherpunks?

The Cypherpunks are/were an ethic more than a group, but there was a core of coders that brought the ethic to life. You can browse through the listserv archives going back to 1993 here:

The first Bitcoin transaction was to Hal Finney, cypherpunk extraordinaire:

Thank you for those sources. I will read through the listserv archives a little bit just out of raw interest. Were there any Mailings after May 1st, 2005? It ends there.

Also I looked through that second link you sent. I pulled this quote from the article:

When Satoshi announced Bitcoin on the cryptography mailing list, he got a skeptical reception at best. Cryptographers have seen too many grand schemes by clueless noobs. They tend to have a knee jerk reaction.

Do you know what mailing list he was talking about? Was it the cypherpunks mailing list? If it was, in that listserv archive you shared, the archive for 2007 and 2008 aren't there.
