wouldn't it be more harmful to leave this "identity discovery" to malicious people alone? Satoshi's posts are open for public scrutiny. It is already apparent by now that there is a host variety of theories and evidence, such that nobody can be certain about a particular individual. I don't think that would be possible if simply curious people weren't involved in this.

I like thinking it as cryptographic security, wherein well-intentioned people attempt to break it, to ensure it is unbreakable. Not sure it is a good analogy, though.

I guess I can see some sense in that reasoning. Kinda like making the 'signal to noise' ratio worse by having a greater variety of noise-makers. Most of the people who openly speculate about it are probably miles off and just throw others further off the true scent of the trail.

The theory that this person came up with is very interesting especially the initials of S and N which as you can see it is the same

Then all I can say is that people in this topic have a very strange definition of the word "interesting". Roll Eyes

I'd call it "inane".
