Satoshi Nakamoto is not a single person, I believe, but a group of developers. I have the same hunch as you that those developers aka Satoshi have been inspired by that book. I hope to read that book to know more of the content. It is nice to discover the technology and history before bitcoins came to life and possibly this book has something about them.

too far fetched.

the thing is the cypherpunks have been trying to solve the double spend issue for decades.

blockchain was not new to 2008-2009 or satoshi.
proof of work was not new to 2008-2009 or satoshi
ecdsa keypairs was not new to 2008-2009 or satoshi.

all together there are atleast 10 things that make bitcoin what it is..
all of them are not new to 2008-2009 or satoshi

what satoshi done, was be the person who was the genius that patchworked all the things together in a way that works beautifully.

and no before you try, although adamback 'invented' proof of work in 1997.. does not make adamback satoshi either

satoshi did work with others and bounce idea's off other people.
satoshi did also take other peoples idea's
this is no secret.

but satoshi was only one person. only one person used his pseudonym

There is no definitive proof that satoshi is one person or a group. Claiming satoshi is a group cannot be substantiated at this point.

I doubt this person is satoshi though. It would've caught the attention of the satoshi hunters a long time ago as they seem to have been quite thorough.

I think it's a good find, but that book as far as I know does not introduce the concept of a cryptocurrency and all the intricacies what make bitcoin such a breakthrough. That book is probably considered prehistoric in current cryptology developments, but definitely worth reading it to put things into perspective. This does not disprove that they arent satoshi since anyone could be satoshi until proven otherwise.






How do you even know satoshi was only one person? as far as I can remember, satoshi used to, and tor's ips are shared with the rest of the users and constantly change, and just on this forum alone a ton of people use tor, so it's impossible to prove that satoshi was only person. Even if he was the only person posting, he may have had other people working for him too.

But ultimately we can't prove nothing, it may have been a single genius too. It's cooler to think not gonna lie.

I think this is too far fetched, for several reasons : Satoshi is not at all Japanese, this is just a cover for me to make people search for him in the wrong direction. Satoshi is a single person, and not a group, like the duo you are proposing us. The book is dated of 1992, and Bitcoin was released in 2008, this is 16 years of difference, this is too much. Moreover, that would kill the my reason of why it has been released at this date, which is for me an answer to the financial crisis of 2008.

I doubt obviously.
Cryptography has been exist when world war 2, definitely SN also learning first about crypto and I think SN is the one (person/group) of big group cryptography. That's hard to reveal who is SN, which certainly SN don't want disturbed, let SN alone.

I think bitcoin users nowadays is not carry anymore about who is created this perfect crypto currency. Now bitcoin users only care on how much btc will be raise and busy on buy or sell their bitcoin.
All i can say is thanks for anyone who made this, especially sathosi nakamoto.

I find it doubtful that just because some papers of theirs had been published with the keywords "electronic money" they are Satoshi and created Bitcoin.

While not a completely strange hypothesis, there were a lot of digital money concepts that were made and spread before Bitcoin became a thing, so while unlikely, it is possible, but there needs to be a bit more definitive evidence than this.
