Satoshi - Sirius emails 2009-2011
AI summary of the linked articleMartti Malmi (AKA Sirius) published his 2009–2011 email correspondence with Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin, after deciding to share it for a 2024 UK trial where he was a witness. The archive is incomplete, containing only emails from his @cc.hut.fi address, since his university addresses changed to @aalto.fi in early 2011 and he has no backups of those. In the emails, Satoshi asks for help writing the website and FAQ, suggests running nodes that accept incoming connections on port 8333, and discusses features such as password-protected private keys and an escrow feature. |

2 comments  timSubmitter Does anyone understand what qualifies these emails to be trustworthy? I only lightly checked them, but were they signed by Satoshi or how do we know they‘re real? That's a good question. The guy who published them seems legit but how do we know he hasn't fabricated or even slightly edited them? I saw some CT people using these emails to build theories about the identity of Satoshi (linkrel: https://x.com/adamscochran/status/1761111031928033749?t=RNUW_NmHoDXTekN8BVSgiw&s=08) so would be nice to be 100% sure they're real. |
