New Analysis Casts Further Doubt That Hal Finney Was Bitcoin's Satoshi Nakamoto
-
New analysis by Jameson Lopp suggests Hal Finney was not Satoshi Nakamoto, as Finney was racing in a 10-mile race when Satoshi was active online.
-
Emails between Satoshi and Mike Hearn show Satoshi was responding while Finney was racing, and Satoshi sent a Bitcoin transaction during the race.
-
Finney's declining health from ALS in 2010 made it unlikely he could type as quickly as Satoshi was posting on forums then.
-
There are differences between Finney's code and Satoshi's original Bitcoin code.
-
While there could be objections, Lopp argues evidence points to Satoshi being a single developer, not a group Finney was part of.
