no one would believe satoshi even if he really came back, and thats a very good thing.

Even if, we have to keep in mind that it shouldn't matter if Satoshi ever really came back

Bitcoin does and should not need a leader

Another thing, which the same friend made me realise: the GPG key used to sign the mail was created on April 26th 2023. A few days ago. Definitely not Satoshi.

People try to be Satoshi. The only proof of Satoshi is to transfer his utxos. 😂

> I saw all the messages, everyones. Including yours peter. I added my lightning address to contact at secureanonymoussurfing.com. I was just giving a compliment to the Lightning team. Really nice work. It is a really great thing what you all did and thank you for making me feel so welcomed.

Someone [posted](https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/lightning-dev/2023-June/003969.html) to the Lightning-Dev mailing list pretending to be Satoshi, using one of Satoshi's email addresses.

The person says they have enabled satoshi@vistomail as a Lightning address, but:

1. It appears to be using an Alby Lightning Address under the hood (using a setup like this [one](https://guides.getalby.com/overall-guide/alby-lightning-account/where-to-use-your-lightning-address/how-to-use-your-own-domain-in-your-alby-lightning-address)), which seems odd if it was really Satoshi,
2. A friend of mine tried to pay and got an error.

Peter Todd quickly [responded](https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/lightning-dev/2023-June/003970.html), highlighting that the domain details were recently updated. The rather uncivil response from our Satoshi pretender doesn't seem like Satoshi to me either.
