Satoshi didn’t leave much behind when he decided to leave the scene for good back in April, 2011. But, he did leave enough for us to conduct a thorough research into his whereabouts when he was working on Bitcoin.
Methodology
To conduct this research, we gathered data from the following:
- Satoshi’s Bitcointalk account (539 available posts)
- His 34 emails on the cryptography and Bitcoin mailing lists
- His 169 commits on SourceForge
- The metadata from Bitcoin whitepaper versions from 2008 and 2009
- The Genesis block
- Various Wayback Machine archives
