WHY JACK DORSEY IS SATOSHI NAKAMOTO Jack Dorsey was: 1 of ~1,300 confirmed cypherpunks in 1996 (his UMR email) Wore an Adam Back t-shirt in the UMR yearbook UMR students were called Miners Was a CompSci & Math major with an interest in crypto Member of ACM in 1997 to at least 1999 Created academic research paper submission & review software for Mira Digital Publishing Known to use: OpenBSD, Windows, Mac, Linux Confirmed to code in: C, Python, Java, Perl, PHP, OCaml, JoCaml, Lisp, ObjC and more Still on the cypherpunk mailing list in 2000 under his dnet .com email Wrote a manifesto about making a mark without leaving a trace in 2001 Subscriber to cryptome .org in 2001 Made a blog post where he jokingly says he is working on a network for drug traffickers Posted a bio in 2003 that says he is into crypto, pseudonyms, 4am hacks, and more Posted in 2003 that he is ending his dependence on the US dollar and creating a barter network Referred to himself as Jak instead of Jack. Jak was his pseudonym. Jack, who was a sailor, tweeted on 8/17/08: Around the horn and home again, for that's the sailor's way". Bitcoin .org was registered the next day. Jack's twitter profile from Sept '07 - Jan '09 said he was a sailor. The original Bitcoin source code included an old sailor's adage. "Never go to sea with two chronometers; take one or three" The original Bitcoin source code documents are all timestamped as being created at exactly 4AM, just like Jack's bio The original Bitcoin source code documents contain a brute forced example vanity bitcoin address that starts with NS17 (Nakamoto Satoshi 1/7 ). The documents were created 1/7/09. Satoshi accidentally logged into IRC on 1/10/09 using a real IP, revealing he was in California (where Jack was) The first bitcoin transaction took place on Jack's mom's birthday (1/11/09) Satoshi joined the bitcoin forum on Jack's birthday (11/19) Satoshi's last mined block was on Jack's dad's birthday (5/3/10) Satoshi told Hal in an email about vanity bitcoin addresses and showed him a SECOND one beginning with NS. Jack sends bitcoin to 4 addresses after Hal, including one that has jD2m in the middle. Jack lived at 2 Mint Plaza in San Francisco. Jack Dorsey 2 Mint (jD2m). Satoshi tells Martti Malmi that he is really busy with work. Jack was busy launching his next startup, Square (now Block) Satoshi tells people on the forum not to donate Bitcoins to Wikileaks on 12/5/10 Twitter is hit with a secret court order with a gag requirement to turn over everything it has about Wikileaks on 12/14/10 Satoshi stopped logging into the forum on 12/13/10 and never returned Jack is made Executive Chairman of Twitter while remaining CEO of Square on 3/28/11 and he tweets that he is very busy with both Satoshi sends his last email on 4/23/11 Twitter's tech lead suggests that Twitter might integrate bitcoin payments on 5/23/11 Jack Dorsey calls Bitcoin an Amazing Movement in September 2012 and said that Square would accept it if it became huge and accepted. Jack's best friend Alyssa Milano writes a novel (Hacktivist) in the Summer of 2013 about Jack, in which she places him as living a double life behind a famous pseudonym Square announces Bitcoin acceptance on 3/31/14. Satoshi's gmx email is hacked on 9/8/14 and the hacker attempts to extort Satoshi by sharing that he knows about his connection to St. Louis, Missouri. Jack is from St. Louis. Alyssa Milano writes a 2nd novel about Jack (Hacktivist). In this one, Jack's famous pseudonym is hijacked and his software developed in a way that was not intended. The hijacker has a logo that looks almost exactly like Gavin Andresen's Bitcoin Faucet logo. It was released in installments with the first one going out on 7/29/15. Two weeks later on 8/15/15, Satoshi reappears on the bitcoin mailing list to address the bitcoin block size debates. People are shocked about Satoshi's return and some doubt it is really him but could not disprove it. On 10/15/15, Jack is made permanent CEO of Twitter, officially making him CEO of two companies. The last installment of Milano's novel about Jack is published, in which its ends by him returning as head to his social network. Square publishes a children's book in January 2018 to explain the "Legend of Satoshi Nakamoto" in which it makes its Satoshi character look like Jack. On 4/20/20 Lex Fridman asks Jack if he is Satoshi, to which Jack tells him that he wouldn't admit it to him if he was. This is in contrast to Nick Szabo, Adam Back, and Hal Finney all saying explicitly that they were not Satoshi. On 5/25/20 - 145 very old bitcoin addresses signed a message stating that Craig Wright was not Satoshi and that he was a liar and a fraud. The oldest bitcoin address that signed the message started with 1jak (Jack's old pseudonym) and the oldest that signed it contained HiSQ in the middle. SQ is the ticker for his company Square. In February of 2022 Jack starts wearing a Satoshi shirt, first on a Michael Saylor podcast and then at the Super Bowl. On 10/27/23, Jack said at a conference that "Bitcoin and Satoshi in 2009 was a combination of my childhood and my curiosity and everything that I aspired to be and everything I loved." Craig Wright's attorneys argue in early 2024 that if Craig Wright was not Satoshi "then the real Satoshi would have been expected to come forward to counter the claim." It did not dawn on them that the person countering the claim was Jack Dorsey, who was the basis for the COPA v Wright legal challenge to begin with. Jack Dorsey came forward to counter the claim. On 7/21/24 Jack wrote on Nostr, "I frequently imagine Satoshi sitting back somewhere and laughing at it all." On 8/28/24 Jack went on Nostr and thanked Hal Finney (now deceased) for his help. Jack parades himself around in a Satoshi shirt. ---------- The belief that Satoshi never wanted to be found is something that other people invented about Satoshi. Satoshi chose pseudonymity, not anonymity, as Jack so pointed out in a podcast with Lex Fridman. The reason why Jack would do all of the above, while not directly admitting it, is because Satoshi and bitcoin are his art. And it's a masterpiece. @jack

THE NEWEST WHY JACK DORSEY IS SATOSHI NAKAMOTO C++ for Bitcoin source code Now confirmed Jack coded in C++ as far back as mid-90s C in the White Paper Now confirmed Jack coded in C as far back as mid-90s. Satoshi pseudonym "Satoshi" was the first tweet Jack's best friend (Crystal Taylor) made on the beta version of Twitter in 2006 in reference to DJ Satoshi Tomiie. Jack revealed this on Tumblr in March 2011. Bitcoin Miner Jack's college mascot at University of Missouri-Rolla was the Miners. Adam Back, the first person that Satoshi emailed Jack wore an Adam Back code t-shirt in his college yearbook photo and linked to Back's website in the 90s from his own with the note "Very good." Hal Finney, the first person to really help Satoshi Jack linked to Hal's website in the 90s from his own with the note "essays, explanations, and challenges". Ecash (What Satoshi originally called Bitcoin) Jack linked to David Chaum's Digicash (ecash) website and to a page that contained Cypherpunks' C library-based ecash-lucre in the 90s. Jack noted this page as being "The best." Cryptography Jack is confirmed to have been obsessed with cryptography, dedicating his personal website to it in the 90s Cypherpunks Jack confirmed to be one of ~1,300 subscribed cypherpunks in the world in 1996, and made the list a central focus of his website while promoting its mission. Another one of his emails is confirmed to have been on the list in 2000. Bitcoin White Paper The White Paper cited a 1997 ACM Research paper and Jack was a confirmed member of ACM in 1997. Research Paper Production Jack ran a team of programmers in the 90s at Mira Digital Publishing that wrote academic research paper production and distribution software. Such papers were formatted like the Bitcoin White Paper. St. Louis In 2014, a hacker tried to extort Satoshi after breaking into his email by publishing a doctored Invoice with a St. Louis address. Jack is from St. Louis. Windows (what Satoshi first coded Bitcoin for) Jack is confirmed to have coded for Windows, Mac, BSD, Linux, and Blackberry all prior to Bitcoin's release. Numerology 11/19 - Satoshi joined the Bitcoin forum on 11/19 (Jack's birthday) 1/11 - Satoshi's first transaction to Hal Finney was 1/11 (Jack's mom's birthday) California Satoshi's IP is widely believed to have leaked on 1/10/09, placing him in California. Jack was in California at the time. Sailor's Adage The bitcoin source code contained the phrase "Never go to sea with two chronometers; take one or three." Jack was obsessed with sailing. "Denials" 2020 - Jack tells Lex Fridman that if he was Satoshi he wouldn't tell him. 2023 - Jack tells a conference interviewer in an odd denial that "Bitcoin and Satoshi in 2009 was a combination of my childhood and my curiosity and everything that I aspired to be and everything I loved." British Spellings Satoshi occasionally used British spellings, but not all the time. Jack in 2009 shared that he sometimes changes the language settings in his phone. So UK English settings would have therefore auto-corrected his American English to British. Craig Wright The COPA lawsuit that disproved Wright as Satoshi was financed primarily by Jack. Jak Wright claimed to own thousands of Bitcoin addresses in a lawsuit but this was thrown into doubt in 2020 when 145 of them signed a message claiming Wright was a fraud. The oldest address, from May 2009, was 1JaKriNjceGmggKYQkURmatQv6LXyvUiAB. "Jak" was how Jack spelled his name for about 7 years and was also his online pseudonym. Satoshi had previously written about brute forcing the first few characters of a Bitcoin address to spell out one's name. Novels Jack's friend Alyssa Milano wrote 2 books (Hacktivist 1 and 2) about Jack, that claimed that he had been living a double life under a famous hacking pseudonym. The first was written in 2013. Jack is godfather to her child. First Jack's company Square was the first publicly traded company to talk to the SEC about Bitcoin. Jack's company Square was the first publicly traded company to sell Bitcoin. Web-based Payments Jack's company Dnet first contemplated web-based payments without a bank account starting in 1998. Jack's company Square revolutionized retail POS payments (founded in 2009). Self-control Jack is already a twice self-made and publicly famous billionaire. Satoshi's "wealth" of Bitcoins would hardly be enticing, especially given his philanthropic attitude and behavior. Reasons to hide in the beginning In July 2008, E-Gold Ltd. (E-Gold), an Internet-based digital currency business, and its three principal directors and owners, pleaded guilty to criminal charges relating to money laundering and the operation of an illegal money transmitting business. Reasons to keep hiding in 2010-2011 Twitter was in the hot seat with the US government over WikiLeaks' usage of twitter to distribute information. Twitter's board was planning to bring Jack back into a day-to-day role. People were using Bitcoin to fund WikiLeaks. Visa was planning to invest in Jack's company Square. Visa had banned payments to WikiLeaks. Visa announced its investment in Jack's company a couple days after Satoshi announced his goodbye. Wei Dai, Nick Szabo Adam Back testified in the COPA lawsuit that he did not think Satoshi was familiar with Wei Dai's "b-money" because he had to tell him about it. Meanwhile, the cypherpunks had to tell Satoshi about Nick Szabo's "Bit Gold." Jack's cypherpunk fan page mentions several cypherpunks including Adam Back and Hal Finney, as mentioned before, but did not mention Wei Dai or Nick Szabo, as if he perhaps he wasn't aware of them either, just like Satoshi. Open Source Track Record Jack's commitment to open-source software is well established and can be traced going back to the mid-90s. From Dnet to apps he wrote, to statements he made, to forums he posted on. Time Period early Aug '08 - Jack finds out he's going to be fired from Twitter 8/18/08 - Bitcoin .org is registered 8/20/08 - "Satoshi" emails Adam Back 9/8/08 - Jack tweets he has a plan in his back pocket 10/5/08 - Satoshi registers account on SourceForge 10/15/08 - Jack fired from twitter 10/30/08 - Jack takes his blog (gu .st) that's been running for 7 years offline 10/31/08 - Bitcoin White Paper released 2/11/09 - Satoshi announces Bitcoin on P2P Foundation. 2/11/09 - Jack launches payments company named Squirrel, later Square. 12/5/10 - Satoshi tells people not to donate Bitcoins to WikiLeaks. 12/7/10 - Visa bans payments to WikiLeaks. 12/13/10 - Satoshi stops logging into the Bitcoin forum. 12/14/10 - Twitter receives secret court ordered demand over WikiLeaks. 3/28/11 - Jack returns to Twitter as Executive Chairman while remaining CEO of Square. 4/23/11 - Satoshi sends goodbye email ("I've moved on to other things"). 4/27/11 - Visa invests in Jack's company Square. 5/23/11 - Twitter's tech lead suggests that Jack's company Square might integrate with Bitcoin. Attempts to disprove The only attempt to disprove the Jack is Satoshi theory was debunked by the likelihood that Satoshi could have and likely did post to the internet from a cell phone, thereby eliminating perceived time conflicts between Jack and Satoshi. Denials from others Nick Szabo, Adam Back, Hal Finney, Peter Todd, Wei Dai, etc. all deny being Satoshi. Who Finances Bitcoin Development Today? In the Fall of 2024, 1A1z released its report that revealed that Jack Dorsey was the primary financier of Bitcoin's development today. SEC Disclosure Jack filed a shareholder letter with the SEC in early 2024 stating that Square (now Block) is following "Satoshi Nakamoto's" design when it comes to cryptocurrency. The implication is that the company is simply following the CEO's design. Today Satoshi shirt, JackjackBITS username on github, release of BITchat, Block/Square is bitcoin-integrated payments company with $1B of Bitcoin on balance sheet Jack Dorsey is Satoshi Nakamoto.

I am part of the post-airdrop generation of ENS users. We got no tokens. We got no votes. We have no say. All the good names were taken. We got nothing. We loved the technology anyway. It made sense to us. We sparked the biggest boom of ENS name registrations in the protocol's history while everything else in crypto was on its way down. We didn't build the tech. We're not on the calls. We're the users, the network, the organic component of marketing that money can't buy. We are very important to ENS. It's a fact.

Sean Murray as an ENS Foundation Director? - In crypto since 2014 - In ethereum since 2017 - Acquired first ENS name in 2021 - Deployed first smart contract in 2021 - Hosted the ENS 10kclub free open bar in May 2022 - Have attended two ENS DAO IRL events - Creator of the ENS tool eth.photos - Was the first to wrap a DNS domain on mainnet using the official ENS NameWrapper Other considerations: - Have experience as a legal entity officer (In US only) - Have experience running a business for 10+ years - Does not speculate on crypto or .eth names. Crypto is for payments, ENS is for identity - Is in it for the tech (lol, but seriously. Check my DNS->ENS video tutorial) - Did not receive the ENS governance token airdrop. (I have virtually no personal voting power) - Have never received any funding, grants, or compensation from any ENS related entity - Am not perfect and can make mistakes Hesitations: - The responsibilities of the role are limited - The Foundation doesn't provide basic Director's & Officer's Insurance, potentially exposing them to legal liability - Directors receive NO compensation - The Foundation has NO BANK ACCOUNT in which to financially support or protect itself on its own - ENS Labs employees who are already paid to promote ENS are likely a better fit for this role - I am already a very busy person What I would do: In addition to the expected duties, I would also use the official title as a platform to increase adoption of ENS. That is the only reason I am interested actually and I think I would be uniquely suited in being able to execute this. What it would take for me to officially nominate myself: - The ENS Foundation would need to sign up for D&O insurance immediately, for the current directors' sake if nothing else - A formal proposal from the ENS DAO to compensate directors should be made. The compensation would have to be substantial given the potential risks involved (especially if the directors are not already paid employees of ENS Labs.) I understand that there will be better candidates than me and that all of this is a longshot. Nevertheless, I thought I should at least explain my thought process with you all. Thank you for your consideration. 3531.eth

Email will never work. First you have this username and then this @ symbol and then a second level split by a top level domain. And then everyone has their own combos. Good luck with mass adoption.

Nick/ENS are in the right here and are very reasonable. Everyone knows UD sneakily patented the tech that ENS created.

Ladies and Gentlemen, the first ever onchain loan against a tokenized DNS domain has just been executed. I did it via @useteller (without telling them). It's a wash loan (from 1 of my addresses to another). Instantaneous onchain smart contract loans against .coms are here!

Prediction: This will become a standard part of a #fintech registration process. Onboarding customers onto web3 via subdomains where customers become attached to them like their email addresses. #ens .eth #ensdomains @ensdomains

Did you know that ENS has way more domain extensions than Unstoppable Domains? .eth is just ONE of a thousand tlds available on ENS. Attached is just a sample of other domain extensions you can register through ENS. And their namespace is not in dispute!

I'm coming around to the idea that ENS has been the underlying web3 social network all along. All it's been missing is frontend platforms to take on the existing web2 experience.

Once upon a time, 5 minutes ago, I opened up metamask and it said I had $53 million in my wallet. Then I hit refresh a few times and it finally reset back to reality. I'm going to hold on to the bliss of that 30 seconds for the rest of my life.

UD is at risk of losing the .wallet lawsuit in court. Contrary to the notion that it is on the attack, Scott Florsck filed his own lawsuit against UD 3 weeks ago, asking for declaratory judgment of non-infringement of the .wallet domain (& other claims). This is a problem for UD.

Your web3 strategy should be a 1-5 year one. If you need your money back after 1-2 months, you are probably going to be very disappointed. Nobody's even been onboarded yet. Most people have never even heard the term web3.

I minted my whole phone # as an ENS. Seems like an obvious play, no? If you got my digits, then you can pay me. You don't need to even ask what my .eth is. Just send it to my #.

If you buy an ENS name, you really need to update the controller of it so that the seller doesn't retain carte blanche control to edit any detail they want in it. This is a major vulnerability when the sale is also high publicized.

90% of the time my fingers will type OpenSean instead of OpenSea because of muscle memory for writing my name. I seem unable to overcome it so I'm giving up. I just registered OpenSean.eth because that's who I am now.
