With certain projects and jobs and stuff I did in the past, I didn't think much of it until it became something and because of that I was sloppy with my privacy and personal details. I'm sure if Satoshi was like "OMG someone should totally do that! Like for real!" he probably wasn't thinking ahead to absolute security and sent it from a home IP or personal e-mail address or something. Then when he realized financial laws and theft and governments would be after him, THEN he went all ninja Tongue

If he followed the suddenly secure it up path like that, obviously the first person in the chain of contacts he made would have been the guy who literally wrote the book on the topic. I mean, you don't design the whole system then tell the author you think it's a good idea that would really work. For all we know, he met him in person at a book signing or something.

Wrong. I think his entire process was private and methodical. This man leaves no room for mistakes. Why the hell do you think he has us spinning in circles over this insignificant topic? Because he was sloppy in the beginning? I think not...
