Jazzed to close out 2024 with Shell Game among the year's best from Apple, The Guardian, The Information, The Economist, The Atlantic, Vulture, Podcast Review, & others. Thanks to everyone who listened from @sophbridges @scootes and myself, excited to take it new places in '25.

@CullenHoback Recall also: "It should be Gavin. I trust him [...] and technically much more linux capable than me." Other early BTC coders said he admitted needing Linux help. Vs a guy who boasted he'd been using Linux for 3 years at 16, then exclusively for many after

@ashleevance @CullenHoback If we keep going I think we can get down to just two views on each post. We're not yet even into the world of Benelux information theory symposia yet!

@TheChaseWatts Agree that's the likely explanation for the messages (see below). But he didn't sign them, he was in custody in 2017. Disagree fake messages show he "couldn't" be Satoshi. He could, although being too busy in '08 is among the top reasons to doubt it.

If you follow the endless “who is Satoshi Nakamoto” saga, you may have seen new claims of alleged proof that Paul Le Roux is Satoshi. Since I’m getting messages about it, some thoughts... (warning: very long, mute thread if it’s not your bag) 1/

@CullenHoback As a parlor game approach, I'm into it (though it might bore some of these other folks eventually). But it's not going to persuade anyone, not any more. You need at least a *sliver* of evidence that someone *did* do it, not just that they were capable and motivated.
