Investigations into the real identity of Satoshi Nakamoto have been attempted by The New Yorker and Fast Company. The New Yorker arrived at Michael Clear, a young graduate student in cryptography at Trinity College in Dublin, who was named the top computer-science undergraduate at Trinity in 2008. The next year, he was hired by Allied Irish Banks to improve its currency-trading software, and he co-authored an academic paper on peer-to-peer technology.[1]
Fast Company's investigation brought up circumstantial evidence that indicated a link between an encryption patent application filed by Neal King, Vladimir Oksman and Charles Bry on 15 August 2008, and the bitcoin.org domain name which was registered 72 hours later. The patent application contained networking and encryption technologies similar to Bitcoin's. After textual analysis, the phrase "...computationally impractical to reverse" was found in both the patent application and bitcoin's whitepaper.[2] All three inventors explicitly denied being Satoshi Nakamoto.[3][4]

I'm a stereotypical young, geeky female who's interested in bitcoins. 
Loved your Satoshi cartoon, Anna
BTW, someone said there would be more women here if they could buy women's stuff with Bitcoin. www.btc4amazon.com lets you buy anything from Amazon, so there you go
Also, OKCupid recently started accepting Bitcoin.
BTW, I'm a guy, but I'm very happy to see more women adopting the currency.
There's a bot on Reddit that will act as a faucet. If you've got a Reddit account, message user "bitcointip" with "REDEEM KARMA: " in the message text.
Direct link to redeeming reddit Karma (must be over 100)

If you have more than 100 comment karma, a couple millibits (0.002 BTC + (YOUR KARMA * 0.00000001) BTC) will be sent to a specified address. You can only do this once. Maximum 0.01 BTC. You may use the bitcoin address that the bot gives you or you may use one of your own bitcoin addresses.
I've been using this site for about a week already. It's been up everyday that I've gone there. I was never sure what the pop-up window says after you submit your wallet address, so I copied the text and pasted it into Google Translate. It basically says, "You succeeded. It may take up to 48 hours for a payout" (that's heavily paraphrased).
Hi!, I'm the creator of this site.
Bitcoin is a global currency. English is the global language. Just use English, even if not perfect
Does the confirmation time depend on the fee amount? Or is MultiBit slow due to its thin-client nature?
I tested this with satoshiDICE:
I tested this with satoshiDICE:
- played 0.5BTC with the Bitcoin-QT client. No fee was charged. Got the reply 14 minutes later.
- played 0.4BTC with the Bitcoin-QT client. Fee was 0.0005. Got the reply within 1 minute.
- played 0.2BTC with the Bitcoin-QT client. Fee was 0.0005. Got the reply within 4 minutes.
- played 0.2BTC with MultiBit. Fee was 0.0001. Several hours have passed, no reply yet.
Due to a mass of trolling, only established posters are able to post in non-newbie sections. You are considered "established" if you have spent 4 hours online and have made 5 posts (new topics or replies).
Totally understand that. Unfortunately, I'm a "new" user because I want to use a new identity for privacy reasons. Wish there were a mechanism like Reddit's IAmA to verify someone's identity separately with the moderators.
