A new theory suggests that cryptography expert Len Sassaman may have been Bitcoin's anonymous creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. Len Sassaman is Satoshi? Len Sassaman (actually: Leonard Harris Sassaman) was an advocate for promoting online privacy and the person who worked on the Mixmaster remailer code and the randseed remailer operator. He was also a technologist who studied the topic of cryptography and protocol development. In 2011, he committed suicide. In an article on Medium, its author Evan Leung makes several arguments to suggest that Sassaman created Bitcoin. First, Leung points out that Satoshi sent his last message just two months before Sassaman's death on July 3, 2011. He adds that Sassaman was an expert in cryptography and public keys, the technologies that underpin Bitcoin. He was also a member of the Internet Engineering Task Force, a group that developed the TCP / IP protocol - the basis of the Internet and Bitcoin's network. According to Leung, Sassaman also worked with Hal Finney when he joined Network Associates to help develop PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) encryption. Finney is the first person to receive Bitcoin from Satoshi. Finney is also typified as the potential creator of Bitcoin. Moreover, it is recognized that Sassaman had views that coincided with the ideas behind BTC. As the author of the article adds, the creators (creator?) of BTC had to "roll up their sleeves" and "build an actual version of an idea that had previously been relegated to theory." Sassaman lived in Belgium, where Bitcoin was reportedly developed. Satoshi probably worked on the cryptocurrency project precisely on the Old Continent (however, opinions are strongly divided on this issue). On top of that there are language issues. Len is said to have used the British language - just like Satoshi - despite being an American. Who was Satoshi? Although the article quoted above is intriguing, we still do not know who the creator of BTC was. The author of the text himself admits it. Whoever Satoshi was, he stood on the shoulders of giants - Bitcoin was the culmination of decades of research and discussion in the Cypherpunk community... - he adds. So it is possible that we will never know the truth about who actually designed BTC. Tags bitcoin btc who was satoshi nakamoto Len Sassaman Satoshi Nakamoto
