Has anyone ever accused you of being Satoshi? If not, please allow me the honor of being the first!  Cheesy

Actually, I think you are possibly the first individual to ask me this directly.

I'm not Satoshi. I've just been around since early 2010 and I fall into this category: http://gavinandresen.ninja/not-as-many-as-you-think

I'm a truly random person to the Bitcoin project and thus my messages with Satoshi were equally so. Perhaps I gained some insights that others did not in this regard.

I would say probably so as you were there as it was happening... your perspective on how things went down is different from people who can only absorb his conversations years afterward.

What's your take on his current "reappearance," referring to the new post on the P2P Foundation page? Probably meaningless, right?

Satoshi's email address for that P2P Foundation page / account is assumed compromised in 2014 ...

He (Theymos) suggests in that thread that the GMX address may have expired and been re registered, but there's no evidence to suggest that that's possible. I've had many GMX addresses over the years and don't think it is.

GMX is a total shitshow. In the aftermath of the satoshin@gmx.com hack, it was determined that GMX allowed/allows you to grab most accounts by merely brute-forcing the birthday -- this is the method that was probably used. Once that incident grabbed headlines, GMX disabled the account for a while, but someone was able to hack or register it again later. It's probably passed through several hands since then, nobody able to hold onto it for long because GMX is so full of holes. Never use GMX.

The P2Pfoundation account is already well-known to be hacked: it posted the "Your dox, passwords and IP addresses are being sold on the darknet" thing a while ago, though that post is now deleted. I kinda suspect that CSW doesn't actually control it, though, and is just trying to play along with "nour" like the idiot conman he is.

I'm currently undecided if the "nour" post has any relevance to anything Bitcoin or Satoshi, although I did find this ...
