@adam3us @TheRealPlanC "anyone in Europe" is your own construction, not in the film. Look at the panels with the actual activity timeframes based on the individual. It's all there. To the specific topic, obviously a ~9am Pacific BTC transaction is well within typical EU activity frame.

@WillFPrice @TheRealPlanC the documentary ruled out very early anyone in europe given the time of forum posts. and len was ... in europe, at KU Leuven, Belgium doing a PhD from 2004 until he died in 2011. so how does it make sense for that last minute "patch" if Len was doing the writing.

Plan C
Plan C@TheRealPlanC·
For anyone who watched the "Finding Satoshi" movie. It was the best-made documentary and most credible theory to date on the subject. I watched it twice. My thoughts: Opsec and anonymity infrastructure - Len 95% Wrote the Bitcoin code - Finney 90% Writing of the whitepaper - Len 90% Ran early network and mining - Finney 90% Public "Satoshi" voice - Len 90% The ideas in the whitepaper - Jointly designed Economic mechanism design - Jointly designed Disappearance decision - Jointly designed Decided not to move the coins - Jointly, both clearly not money-driven We are ALL Satoshi. These two men were GREAT men and legends.

Len acting as Satoshi while Hal runs a race is not contradictory. OP’s division of labor looks reasonably accurate. Len’s active hours were public record and present no conflict — he also knew his partner was in Pacific. Weird that you are making up such irrelevancies to debate. Those “late bumps” were integrated literally years ago at the moment described.

@TheRealPlanC all speculation, and you appear not to notice the contradiction with that theory (self-contradictory in the documentary also): x.com/adam3us/status…
Adam Back@adam3us

@noremacback @DeItaone also, notice the "patch" moment: a) decide EU residents wouldn't work for timezone of forum posts; b) think it's @halfin c) late bump into @lopp's hal disproof (running marathan while satoshi emails, sends test transactions) d) patch "@lensassaman & hal" Gell-Mann amnesia of a).

finally had a chance to watch @findingsatoshi_. highly recommend. it’s well done and thoughtfully researched. it also honors the people who were involved and have already passed, which is a big part of the story. i particularly thought the interview with @franfinney was beautifully done. it doesn’t try to force certainty. throughout the documentary, they lay out the facts through research and interviews with people who were closest to it, and methodically rule out candidates one by one when the evidence doesn’t hold up. we may never 100% know who satoshi is, but this documentary comes closer to the truth than anyone else has. i think you'll enjoy the ending. great work: @tooleyent @tydamar @WilliamCohan

This morning at findingsatoshi.com, the movie about the creation of Bitcoin was released. I've been working with them for 3.5 years and am overjoyed to see this at last. (I have no financial interest in the film.) I did see it, and it is amazing. To solve this mystery required exactly this kind of fully integrated investigation tracing the story from the beginning. Even if you have no interest in the "who created Bitcoin" question, it's a moving and informative film. Highly recommended. theblock.co/post/398423/fi…

I had the chance to watch an advance screener of Finding Satoshi which is out today and I think it's the best and most thoughtful - and respectful - treatment of the issue so far. Not affiliated, just a fan of the project. Highly recommend findingsatoshi.com

Marc Andreessen on the imperative of speed in AI adoption: "Both the AI utopians and the AI doomers are far too optimistic." "They believe that because the technology makes something possible, 8 billion people all of a sudden are going to change how they behave. It's like—no. So much of how the existing economy works is just wired in." "We're going to be lucky as a society if AI adoption happens quickly. Because if it doesn't, what we're going to have is stagnation." @pmarca with @latentspacepod
a16z@a16z

"Speed wins." "You have to be willing to commit to being fast. You can't have long bureaucratic processes. You can't have a risk-averse posture." @pmarca explains the OODA loop — and why the fastest operator controls the narrative in business, media, and politics: "There's a framework called the OODA loop, originally developed for fighter pilots and later for broader military strategy." "It stands for observe, orient, decide, act. It's basically the decision-making cycle." "If speed is the thing that matters, then the person who gets through that cycle the fastest is the one who's going to win." "If you can have a sustainably faster OODA loop processing cycle than the next guy — think about what happens… You operate and make a decision within an hour. The other guy is still inside his own OODA loop when you make your decision. He's only halfway through his process and now has to start over. You've changed the parameters of what's going on." "This is also a big explanation for what's happened in traditional media." "The New York Times has its own OODA loop, and it's like 24 hours to go through its process."

Finding Satoshi@findingsatoshi_·
The greatest financial mystery of the 21st Century just became front page news. We spent four years on our investigation. NYT bestselling author @WilliamCohan and investigator @tydamar led an investigation with 25+ on-camera interviews and multiple independent lines of evidence. We name names. And we have the receipts. 'The most thoughtful take on this subject I've seen out there, and I suspect you got to the right answer.' -- Brian Armstrong, CEO of Coinbase Pre-order now. Watch on April 22. Only at findingsatoshi.com
The New York Times@nytimes

Bitcoin’s founder, Satoshi Nakamoto, has remained hidden for 17 years. A trail of clues — and a year of digging by our reporter, John Carreyrou — led us to a 55-year-old computer scientist in El Salvador named Adam Back. nyti.ms/4bXWC3V

So much quantum fluffing these days. This encapsulates my view on the topic which hasn't significantly changed since the late 1990s. schneier.com/blog/archives/…

@markgurman Wrong decision to tie this hardware to Siri. Next gen Siri comes when it comes and I sympathize it must be maddening to have a great hardware update and get stopped by unnecessary blocks.
