The Bitcoin-sphere has been a-buzz about clumsy revelations that Dr. Craig Wright is Satoshi Nakamoto. I refuse to link to the pieces in mind as these the authors clearly care more about getting clicks than making sure their claims are valid.

An anonymous poster is demanding 25 bit coins -- about $12,000 -- to release the real identity of Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto.

Julian Assange has described how bitcoin founder ‘Satoshi Nakamoto’ asked him not to use the fledgling digital currency for WikiLeaks fundraising, and how going along with that request helped protect bitcoin from government scrutiny during its early days.

The scoop couldn't have come at a better time. Bitcoins have exploded in value over the last year, making early investors rich, and the crypto-currency is finally emerging from wonky tech circles to gain traction with a mainstream audience. The idea that Bitcoin founder “Satoshi Nakamoto”—long thought to be a pseudonym—was living in a modest house in a Los Angeles suburb, and under his real name, was irresistible.

Last Friday the account under the name of Satoshi Nakamoto was used to post a five-word message to our social network for P2P researchers, hosted by NING (Glam Media).

As rumors swirl that Australian Craig Wright intends to prove he created Bitcoin, here's the standard of proof the crypto community says he'll need to meet.

Nobody knows, and in the style of all good mysteries, nobody is talking. Satoshi Nakamoto is almost certainly a pseudonym, which could be used by anyone. Yet another mad chase for Nakamoto through the Internet this week ended the same way all the searches for him end: (spoiler alert) in dead ends and blind alleys.

Two US technology sites have claimed that the creator of the digital cryptocurrency Bitcoin is an Australian businessman called Dr Craig S Wright. Both Wired and Gizmodo have based their conclusions on…

Whether you like it or not, virtually all cryptocurrencies launched to date do it on a model closer to the classic "startup" model where founders and early adopters have the potential to become super-rich.

Who cares about Satoshi Nakamoto? Someone else has made Bitcoin what it is and has the most power over its destiny.
Scoop.it!
Newsweek returned to print on March 6th with a genuine bombshell: it had found the real Satoshi Nakamoto. The article, written by Leah McGrath Goodman, claimed to have accomplished what previous articles from The New Yorker, Fast Company and other publications had failed to do. Its claims were stunning: after years of searches from very capable journalists, Newsweek claimed that the secretive person who used the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto had, in fact, not used a pseudonym at all – his name was Satoshi Nakamoto.
