Honestly, it is my first time to know about this information and from James. I have been here many years but I learn something new today from you, thanks for sharing it.

This is not the first time that I have published this information on the forum, you can surely find it in some old topics that dealt with this. Honestly, people don't pay attention to anything else but the lost BTC, although there are a lot of interesting details - like the fact that it wasn't James who threw away that HDD, but his girlfriend or wife (I don't remember exactly anymore).

I searched for finding more sites mention about it but did not find any other sources, coinrivet is the only site has this information. I am doubtful because theymos said that Satoshi Nakamoto always used Tor in the forum. It is less possible that Satoshi Nakamoto did not use Tor outside the forum especially for Bitcoin-related activities.

If you noticed that this source states that James asked for a monetary compensation for the interview, he obviously wanted to strengthen his story with new details in the phone conversation. As for the use of Tor, somehow it doesn't seem to me that Satoshi would give away his IP so easily considering that to this day he still manages to protect his privacy. If what James is saying is true, then a lot of people would have his real IP address, and it would be strange that no one has published it until today.

I heard his story but honestly I find his story a bit strange, maybe he exaggerates some details a bit like how did he know that he was one of the first six people to run Bitcoin mining? I also didn't understand why his device was connected to Satoshi's device? I don't think mining at that time was any different than it is now and therefore I don't think there is a need to connect to Satoshi's device as long as the mining process is completely decentralized?

Most importantly how did he know that the IP address was Satoshi's real IP address? I don't know but I find it hard to believe all these details.
