After reading the subject of the thread, I was thinking this is a sort of a compilation of, well, the "
iggest mysteries of Bitcoin." It wasn't, of course. The subject is kind of misleading.
Anyway, indeed Satoshi's identity or identities are a mystery but I guess what's more mysterious is the possibility that it's actually probably known. I think there are a handful of individuals who must have a more or less accurate guess of who Satoshi is/are.
And since we're already discussing about mysteries here, I wonder: who have read topic 3?
Is this the first bitcointalk.org topic?
What happened with topic 1,2,3 and 4?
1, 2, and 4 exist in the staff forum.
3 was permanently deleted at some point (it must have contained Satoshi's real name and address).
