Stylometry: is it possible to find Satoshi Nakamoto in his letters?
Source:
Over the last few years the number of people hunting for Satoshi Nakamoto increased significantly: people from all over the world went in search of the mysterious Creator of Bitcoin. The cryptocurrency community saw came out of nowhere, several people claiming to be Satoshi, or declares that it is they who created the first cryptocurrency. Then there was the guy who said that he is Nakamoto, and published the first Chapter of his autobiography. One of the methods of research, which is often used to determine the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto is the scientific method of stylometry, which shows that very few people on Earth ever wrote Nakamoto, and that the handwriting of cryptoporticus not so easy to forge.
theIn finding the real Satoshi Nakamoto
Who is Satoshi Nakamoto? The question people are asking very often, because of sharp growth of the cryptocurrency last year. In addition, many have always been interested in the Creator of the technology. There are many reasons why a lot of people would like to know who Satoshi as the Creator of Bitcoin could answer some questions that could end the fierce debate that raged for years. Nakamoto also has around 1 million BTC, BCH and all the other forks that are created based on the original Protocol, which makes him/her/them incredibly rich. Over the past few years, cryptologist also saw a few individuals who pretend to be Satoshi Nakamoto, including Dorian Nakamoto, Ian Grigg, nick Szabo and Craig Wright. Not long ago, one Hawaiian also said that Nakamoto is a he and another man wrote the first Chapter of the memoirs of Satoshi Nakamoto, posing as the Creator of Bitcoin.
Over the years, scientists have developed a scientific method in the study of linguistic style printed text and handwriting – stylometry – and this is a literary tool often used for communication, the anonymous Satoshi and a real person. This method of text analysis to confirm the identity or ownership has been used for hundreds of years. When people write, they not only have distinctive handwriting, but also in a special way place phrases and specific words in the letters.
an Example of one of the letters Satoshi Nakamoto
After the guy wrote 21 pages of personal memories Nakamoto, a lot of people, studying the patterns of text and stylometric, suggested that recent autobiography, allegedly written by Nakamoto, most likely, was false. Diva detectives found that the latter's memoirs do not contain the literary habits Nakamoto, double spaces and unique spelling errors.
Other stylometrics analyses of original technical document of Bitcoin and Satoshi's letters showed that copy the style Nakamoto is not so simple. For example, stylometric said that the chances that different cryptographic researcher will use the phrase "it should be noted; for our purposes; can be characterized; to prevent an" extremely small (0.8 percent). But over the years stylometrics analysis white paper of Bitcoin there were a few cryptographers who came close to the linguistic style Nakamoto. Five closest colleagues – Nick Szabo, Ian Grigg, Hal Finney, Wei Dai and Timothy may. Sabo has the highest number of algorithmic similarities in the earlier work, if you examine them side by side with white paper Nakamoto. However, each of the above people had a similar writing style with white paper Nakamoto, so telematicheskiye research has put them in a number of suspects. 26 Dec 2017 scientist Michael Jung described each character, which contrasted Satoshi linguistic style.
According to the classification algorithms, stichometrically analysis predicted that Nick Szabo linguistically similar to Satoshi, who wrote a paper Bitcoin, and Ian Grigg linguistically similar to Satoshi, who wrote from the email address". "The word "to" Hal Finney ispolzuet 28 times and the word "one" Nick Szabo uses 199 times. There is one unigram, the word "contract" used and Grisham, and clogs.
Wei Dai is most similar to the author's work on Bitcoin, Hal Finney — most similar to scribe for the letters of Satoshi. Timothy may also like the author's work on Bitcoin, and Ian Grigg — letters to the author.
Another study conducted by a nonprofit organization using stylometry this June, revealed that Nakamoto is known to the developer community Gavin Andresen.
We determined the Cash Bitcoin developer Gavin Andresen as a real Satoshi Nakamoto," explains Troy Watson, a representative of the NGO conducted the study. But few took it seriously enough and the dust has settled.
