Re: Why is Satoshi Nakamoto's PGP Key not currently on bitcoin.org ?
the source code still contains the key[1] while the site seems to not have any link to make it accessible publicly.
maybe bitcoin.org needs a "historical" page that can include this key alongside other historical facts and clarify that this key was created 12 years ago and may not be safe anymore. although i don't think there is anything insecure about a 1024-bit DSA key.

Quite clearly Satoshi Nakamoto placed the Key on bitcoin.org
Whilst historical reference might be nice to, I will reiterate what I said in the OP ...
"powers that be", put the goddamn PGP Key back on bitcoin.org!

I am concerned by the urgency in including this key. It's normal for pull requests to sit a while to give people time to review.
I'm inclined to reject this pull just on the basis that the urgency concerns me and no clear benefit is described."

I can confirm that this is Satoshi's real public key. It has been publicly-known (though maybe obscure) since at least 2010."

@paraipan it was never there in the first place."

@theymos Can you elaborate on how you know this is Satoshi's key? Are you the only one who can vouch for it?"

"theymos commented on Aug 19, 2015
@luke-jr He posted a link to it on the forum. That link doesn't work anymore, but I downloaded it when he posted it. Presumably other people around at that time could also verify."

FWIW The key in this PR is the same as the one archived by the Wayback Machine"
