Yet, we know so little about the Satoshi Nakamoto identity. I have tried to account for all that we do know, however fallibly. Some readers have brought to my attention, two other data points which I did not know about. 1. Bitcoin was written in C++. Shinichi Mochizuki knows C++ 2. Mochizuki wrote papers on elliptic curves, the basis of modern cryptography. The mystery deepens! ;-) I invite everyone to join me on Twitter ( @purrperl ) to discuss this.
