Sorry, for bump up your thread again. I hope that's okay.

I like what you're saying. Of course, Satoshi is no god, i agree!
But he is the one and the first one who had made usable a lot of considerations around of cryptographic money for the layman.

As you say yourself, it is of course no witchcraft, what Satoshi has accomplished.
But he was the first to make this idea really useful!
It is the result of the dedication passion and time he has put into this topic.
For me, he ist a genius guy already for this.

I think Satoshi was more of an academic than a professional developer.
Definitely someone who had a lot of knowledge about cryptography because of the choice of the elliptic curve, and he was able to create things like Base 58 and the like.
Clearly, this is a person who had an education in computer science.
The academic-looking C++ code was a good sign of someone who was trained to know how to programming, but was not a professional.
A professional would have done a more structured job, i think!

With healthy ambition and a certain amount of technical understanding, anyone can do these kind of projects!
Especially in times of the Internet and many good books, where the way to self-learning of topics that really interests you, is made extremely easy for virtually EVERYONE!
You just need to kick in your own ass! Cheesy

This is also demonstrated by the one or other innovative blockchain project outside of BTCitcoin... not many, but a few!

Whether he was involved in any of these projects...? This was also the subject of an interesting newspaper article I read in the back days. Unfortunately, I can't find him anymore...

For all intents and purposes, it seems that there would be no reason to attribute any side-projects to satoshi (especially those after bitcoin), unless he specifically proclaimed that he was contributing to such project - which has not happened to my knowledge.

I do not recall coming across any article or write up proclaiming evidence of any post bitcoin satoshi work (not that I would proclaim myself as any kind of scholar in such), which you may gather from my comment already, that I would be quite skeptical about such.. since we have seen how "satoshi" has been used to pump various other projects and even take sides in bitcoin debates... which probably in the end, cannot really stop those kinds of ideological battles from stopping or people from doing what they are going to do, whether it seems to be contributing to actual bitcoin or some other side sometimes scam project.
