Lets see how this plays out.
And, I still do not think @petertodd is Satoshi Nakamoto. Hoback, like anyone else, can be very confident of his conclusion but that doesn't mean he's right.

So, you edit some asterisks out of a post and you're Satoshi? Hmmph.
To summarize the "evidence" in this article*:
. Satoshis code seemed like a non-pro wrote in and Todd was 22 then
. Todd once tweeted about about "framing" someone else
. He edited out some asterisks in a bitcointalk post
. Boom
- I haven't seen the documentary yet

The asterisk comment doesn't read to me like Satoshi corrected himself (forgetting to switch sock puppets, that's the theory?).
It reads like Peter (a different person) found a (small) mistake in Satoshi's argument, and wanted to show it. It shows how well he understands the issue.
If it was Satoshi correcting himself, I think the tone would have been different.

I find it unthinkable for people who wants to remain anonymous to have a public presence for decades... Peter Todd, Adam Back etc...
Perhaps if from the early days of bitcoin people had bothered to reveal Nakamoto's identity they would have found out who he really is. But we're talking about a very small community that didn't get attention in the early days. Today I find it unlikely that the real identity will be found and everything I read is speculation without proof.

any of you watched it yet? if so , is there really any reason to?

Downloading it now to watch and see.
Its on piratebay already.
My reason is curiosity but yeah maybe I'm being played by the HBO MSM?
It does not sound like they have provided conclusive proof more just some coincidence and a 'gotcha' moment in an interview set up, which again is not conclusive proof.
Surely though this thing will play out but if hes not Satoshi how can he prove that?
P.S. I would be disappointed if they have found Satoshi as it would somewhat undermine the mythology and cryptographic purity of the protocol but do not believe it would be too damaging long term.
Incredible really that his identity has remained concealed so long already...and hoping it remains so.

i think if it has a look at the different people in the cryptography space and has some bitcoin history , then it might be worth a watch
that being said, it's better that nobody knows who satoshi is because it undermines the purity of the protocol and that was probably one of the last periods in time that someone could be truly anonymous and then vanish

Agree- watching it now and so far it seems ok...its just giving the history of Bitcoin and how it emerged and who was involved...
