Wow, thanks for sharing that link to Fermat’s library. What an amazing resource.



Will it ever be possible to use AI/ML to identify Satoshi based on the writing style of this original paper of bitcoin?


I think I remember seeing a medium article speculating that the NSA has done this.

Found it: https://medium.com/cryptomuse/how-the-nsa-caught-satoshi-nak...


I don't think the NSA is/was the threat. If there is ever a singularity moment and an AI comes to emerge, it'll need funds to build it's power. What better way than finding the identity of Satoshi and getting his private keys?


Very interesting!


that'd explain why he's missing


Do we know if Satoshi lurks around hacker news and is having a chuckle reading the comments here?


A fellow coder can dream.


As the population size increases so does the error-rate in stylometry. See the case of Andrej Holm.


I expect he took some precautions in this area, of course it's no guarantee against future advances.
