I am now tempted to tell you all who is Satoshi ?
-cut-
You posted long story with a newb account and didn't bother to offer any proof that you are in fact the James A Donald. Why is that?

I just saw this thread trending on CryptoCurrency subreddit and found this reply by a guy who says he's one of the OG on Bitcoin Talk forum.
According to him:

Quote
The Satoshi Nakamoto who submitted the Bitcoin whitepaper was Nick Szabo. Japanese name is written in reverse so it's Nakamoto Satoshi. He picked this name as to get the same initials NS on the whitepaper while not having to reveal his full name.



Give it a read, I think I am kind of convinced, I always thought Satoshi was Hal Finney. I would love to know what you guys think about this.
Would love to hear some more stuff from OG members.
Op, i am not sure why you didn't include link into that reddit thread, as this wasn't really convincing argument by itself.

Len Sassaman, might as well been Satoshi as his suicide seems fitting the timeline, but if there's not more evidence supporting it, so i think ThatInternetGuy is jumping to conclusions here. Also Nick Szabo & initials seems pretty cringe to me. Why the hell would Satoshi, a cryptographic enthusiast, would leave clue that could be from detective novel made for children.

But i've seen more convicing theories, like this one. That's not a perfect theory either, and i would prefer that satoshi wouldn't be around.
