New analysis casts doubt on Hal Finney being Satoshi Nakamoto
-
New analysis of race data and emails suggests Hal Finney was not Satoshi Nakamoto, as he was competing in a 10-mile race when Satoshi was active online.
-
Emails between Satoshi and Mike Hearn coincided with the time Finney was racing, making it unlikely he was Satoshi.
-
On-chain data shows Satoshi transacted Bitcoin during the race when Finney could not access a computer.
-
Finney's ALS had already affected his typing ability during times Satoshi was actively coding and posting.
-
While objections exist, evidence points to Satoshi being a single developer rather than a group.
