Probably Adam Back for several reasons. He invented Hashcash which is used in the bitcoin mining process.

Back was the second person Satoshi reached out to with the earliest draft of the Bitcoin whitepaper, still he acted
like a noob on the forums to throw people of.

Adam Back was a pioneer in the field of cryptography, and his contributions to the Cypherpunk movement were very
important. He was an active participant in the group's debates, and his Hashcash function inspired the development
of other algorithms and programmes by his fellow Cypherpunks, such as Hal Finney's RPoW and Bitcoin.

Not only does Back have a Ph.D. in computer science and a history of studying cryptography in academia, but he has
also built his whole career on ideas that are central to Bitcoin.  He is the CEO of Blockstream, which he co-founded
in 2014 and I feel it´s his way to get back into control of bitcoin.

He also writes in the same way as Satoshi.

I haven’t found any evidence to definitively say it’s not Adam Back. But he would have had to go to great lengths with emailing himself back and forth and posting replies to himself on the old cypherpunk mailing list and forums

All possible but would be bizarre haha.

This for example:

Found some interesting posts in the old cypherpunk archives. The anonymous messages in Sep 1999.

It’s very similar to Satoshi.

https://marc.info/?l=cypherpunks&m=96968734909750&w=2

There are multiple posts and references to the Crypto 99 conference in Santa Barbara, CA.

I think these posts are from Satoshi.

One message is signed “ECashRumorMonger” lol

Len checks the most boxes for sure.

But the part that seems strange to me is that cypherpunks and usual Satoshi candidates are experts in cryptography.

From everything I've read from other cryptography experts is that Satoshi didn't have a deep understanding of cryptography. Sure they had enough knowledge to develop Bitcoin, and that is impressive in its own right, but nothing points to Satoshi as having more than just a basic understanding of cryptography.

Also some design choices around privacy and security don't match with the cypherpunk ethos imo.

Blackberry?? Satoshi being a Canadian cybersecurity expert working for RIM would make a lot of sense imo.
1. Those are just some ads, added by SourceForge. Nothing special. Free e-mail boxes just contained ads in the past, and it is normal. To remove them, you need to use some paid version.
2. Satoshi used Japanese version of Windows XP, it is very unlikely, that he was "a Canadian cybersecurity expert".

Ah, oh well. Reading through all of Satoshi’s messages makes me think they were Canadian or from the US and studied abroad for awhile.

Part of me thinks the English spelling was intentional misdirection. Satoshi sounds a lol like a Calofornian or west coast USA to me.

More evidence that Satoshi was a front for a person or a team that knew their tradecraft, i.e. CIA/NSA.



The team idea is definitely possible imo. I had a buddy from the Bay Area that went to college in Scotland and then moved to London. He's lived there ever since.

He talks a lot like how Satoshi writes. Sounds American but uses random English words like rubbish. Also inconsistently uses "s" or "z" like Satoshi too.

Whether CIA/NSA/team whatever, I think Satoshi was from the US and just lived overseas for a significant period of time.

I was reading through the Satoshi-Sirius emails and this signature from Satoshi caught my attention.

From email #41:
