RE: Satoshi Nakamoto information and REDACTED


Estimado REDACTED,

It has been 17 years since the release of Bitcoin. If there was any question as to the legality of our research in Santa Barbara in 2007-2011, I think that the legal system should have forgiven us by now. Nonetheless, I feel that it is safer for me to maintain some distance from this project as it has attracted a great deal of violence and hatred towards its builders.

Proof points for you. I suggest that you research this for yourself:

Based upon a sampling of peers in the crypto community, I believe that Hal Finney is regarded as one of the worlds top five most likely people to have been "the real Satoshi Nakamoto". We lived in the same city, Santa Barbara, California when Bitcoin was developed and deployed. Williamson Software, my software company now for over 30 years, was located in Santa Barbara at that time. I have a great deal of history there, which is very easy to prove, even after, myself, leaving in late 2009 to join the SOS team in Texas and then departing the country for Mexico. Hal only went to Arizona at the end of his life to be frozen at a special institution.

Bitcoin develops scalability due to blockchain. Computer programming is my primary technical vocation with specialization in databases. I have worked in database systems since 1986. Blockchain originated out of my work in ideaOS and the UIOS which featured a file system called the IFS that utilized a hash to verify each file in this novel decentralized file system. This hashing system was called the iBlock. Blockchain is very similar. You may download and read the White Paper that I wrote in 2007, one year before Satoshi published his paper introducing Bitcoin in 2008. This whitepaper ended up circulating in the Santa Barbara tech community about this time as I was fund raising for my startup InfoShare. Hal had never developed anything like Blockchain before and was trying to make a cryptocurrency function by using a specialized hardware cipher card before I proposed a replicated file system based solution, ergo blockchain. Blockchain is a database solution. I am a database specialist. Hal was a cryptographer, not a database person. Additionally, a project was started, much later, in 2014 that spawned from Bitcoin called IPFS (Interplanetary File System). This is a Bitcoin inspired, decentralized-replicating file system project in 2014, which was roughly what I was trying to do with IFS back in 2007, a full seven years before IPFS appeared. Bitcoin inspired a decentralized file system in 2014 similar to the IFS in IdeaOS built way back in 2007? Don't you find that rather telling? It took them seven years to get around to building what I first invented that led to inventing Blockchain. An early, rough white paper for IdeaOS, circa the summer of 2007 (This version was only a rough draft that I had to fish out of my email from 2007 that I had sent to my attorney in Santa Barbara, REDACTED): See attached: 42-QJHMQF-UIOS-PoC-July2007-Rev1.pdf This document would ordinarily be located at the following URL, but I am having a great deal of difficulty keeping this US based server from getting hacked and stopping recent DDOS attacks that just started during the October 2025 initial deployment of DNA. Also, they hacked into my server about one year ago and again deleted this document. You may have trouble holding on to it. UIOS PoC White Paper

Namecheap is a long time domain registrar for myself. I have been with Namecheap for approximately 20 years. Where was bitcoin.org registered? There are literally thousands of domain registrars in the world and 20 years ago Namecheap was new. Myworld.cash is a Namecheap registration, as well as dozens of other domain names that I have registered: williamsonsoftware.com, earthica.world, possibilityof.com, workon.mobi (2014), and many more. I don't recall off hand all the domains that I have registered with Namecheap, but they probably have historical records. I have much history with this company.

We used GMX to avoid the Google mass collection trap. Rather than using gmail or some other potentially subverted email service provider - at the time I worked in the proxy/privacy business as a service provider - I proposed that we use GMX for email. I registered williamsonsoftware@gmx.com and other addresses sometime around 2007. If one reviews the original Bitcoin whitepaper, they shall note that the author used a GMX email address.

One of the Bitcoin programmers was likely a Forth programmer. Forth is an extremely rare, highly specialized programming language used by very few people. I am a Forth programmer and have been since 1982. I am probably the only Forth programmer that you know. I once wrote a dbase replacement program in Forth and an entire forms application. All Bitcoin transactions are executed using a Forth-like script that uses a Forth FIFO (First In First Out) stack and postfix notation syntax. Many are curious about who Satoshi was, but many suspect that he was a Forth programmer. The DNA eRobots use an updated scripting language with the same fundamental design characteristics as Forth: stack based variable system and a postfix coding syntax. This design format or "syntax", which may seem a bit unconventional at first, actually makes for a very efficient programming code structure because execution order flows naturally from left to right. This is the native ordering for a computer, or a robot to follow. Forth programs are very light weight and easy for a computer to process. REDACTED, a great engineer and genius, taught me Forth when I was still a teenager. I have been told that Forth was originally written to program robots. I think of the interrelationships of automated DeFi programs working together as being robot-like in nature, hence the choice to use a robot programming language in Bitcoin and DNA as well as the naming of the DNA scripting language Robotica, as implemented in the eRobot. This article makes mention of Forth programming language in relation to Bitcoin: Forth Programming Language a Part of Bitcoin

People have asked: why British spelling was sometimes used in writings by Satoshi? People have stated that Satoshi was inconsistent in this matter of nationality spelling, causing yet another enigma. I have recently answered this publicly on my blog, so this is no longer a secret. This was not done to hide anyone's identity. This happened accidentally because the default Ubutu live CD had a British spell-check dictionary (Canonical Ubuntu was and still is a British company). I was too lazy, and very busy at the time, to burn a new CD with the US English dictionary. That is the simple truth. Maybe Satoshi was not the greatest speller in the world. We used Live CDs (a complete, bootable operating system) to remain anonymous. Ubuntu Live CD included OpenOffice with a British spell check. Using a Live CD is a very effective method of preventing your operating system from leaking your real identity and is sill used by many today. OpenOffice was also used to author the original Satoshi White Paper by the way. Redit Post

Hal and I were both technical, software people, interested in open source, Linux, writing code with emphasis on privacy and security, while living in Santa Barbara, while being runners and flying airplanes. It would have been difficult to not have known each other. Santa Barbara is not very big, only a fraction of the size of Hermosillo. For a period Hal worked at Green Hills software, 4 blocks from my company Williamson Software. Although it has been some years, I think that I would run into Hal at some downtown Santa Barbara haunts such as the Earthling Cafe/Bookstore and the Coffee Cat. We also shared a disdain for the oligarch's abuses of power, particularly around monetary policy. We both hold many of the same CypherPunk ideals, although, I would not categorize myself as an anarchists nor do I believe that about Hal. The CypherPunks helped us to launch Bitcoin, and their manifesto supports this type of independence. Since becoming involved in this work in 2007, I donate to the EFF when I am able - which was started by a CypherPunk. I still receive their emails and try and support their activities.

Hal Finney and his wife Fran both allege that they were being stalked and harassed as have I, for the same time period in the same city by unknown forces. Fran has stated this publicly. Before Hal passed away both he and Fran showed great distress over this topic. I had a similar complaint at nearly the exact same time. Actually, stalking against me started in December 2007. I think that Hal's stalking issues only started after he received the first Bitcoin transaction in January 2009, over one year later. I have numerous customers who will attest to this fact as they were robbed by someone who hacked them and destroyed my work for them. I hired other technical people in Santa Barbara, who have already attested to this fact, given written statements and who worked with me to protect Williamson Software. The local Sheriff was virtually useless and at the time lacked any technical knowledge to help. I filed a report with the FBI in Ventura, California in 2009 (the closest field office to Santa Barbara), and they did nothing to protect us, in fact I think that they even mocked us. I once had lunch with my attorney REDACTED where I brought a steal, key pad locking briefcase that contained my laptop in it. For the last six months that I was in Santa Barbara I had to lug that thing around me everywhere I went. I am sure that REDACTED certainly remembers my complaints about being stalked by unknown people. They hacked his computers and the servers that I set up for his Santa Barbara company. The entire law firm probably remembers my allegations and frustration as such, as does REDACTED, a Malibu planning firm where I introduced DocuPost which was stolen by Google and became Google Drive. The current CEO of Google built his career around this invention of mine. A great many distressing and terrible things happened to us both during this period including Hal falling ill with a deadly disease which could have been induced by a virus. I have chronicled about much of this on my blog at possibilityof.com. I am infuriated to this day by what happened to us and how they just took everything from us. I lost my home, my friends, my family, my businesses, because of these monsters! I have learned at a deep and profound level, that when it comes to protecting their monetary system THE POLICE BECOME YOUR ENEMY.

Proxies helped us to remain anonymous. I had been an early member of the original Anonymous in California. I am trained in hacking forensics and have provided these services professionally for years. I set up and ran GhostProxy.com for 10 years which was a leading proxy services in the world in the early 2000s. Proxies help to keep people anonymous. This was before proxies and VPNs became widespread and mainstream. In 2006 local attornys hired me to help the University of REDACTED to defend itself against hacking allegations committed by some of their workers. In that case we prevailed. The NSA/Microsoft/Mexican Mafia and I have been in a 20 year hacking war. The point is we remained anonymous for many years, and the tools of the trade, we used. Why is the mystery of Satoshi still a mystery, after 20 years? Because REDACTED we used solid and professional opsec whenever possible. I am only hinting at being involved now because eCoin is going to likely be an even bigger target. What's the point in hiding anymore? Why not be known for what I have contributed and perhaps solicit support and the involvement of people who can help us? The DDOS has started and the war has already begun, and it will likely get worse before it gets better.

Hal and I were both recreational runners and competed in the same races in and around Santa Barbara at the same time. You can probably find race records for both of us in the area. Actually, I had been a dedicated, professional Triathlete for some years before retiring and starting Williamson Software in the early 1990s. I did well over 100 races including the New Zealand IronMan, USTS National Championships in Hilton Head Island, and came in first place in the Santa Barbara Sprint Triathlon in 1999. I became a recreational athlete in 1993 and competed in local running and other endurance sports.

Chardonay 10 Mile Race proof. There is an article that claims that Hal Finney could not be the real Sataoshi because messages allegedly sent by Satoshi were sent while Hal was running the Chardonay 10 Mile event that year. This implies collaboration with others. As I recall I did not do the race in that year, although I have done it in years prior. It really is a lovely and most scenic race venue.

Hal Finny was the first recipient of Bitcoin. The logic is inescapable: either he was Satoshi, he knew him or he was closely connected to him. First P2P Transaction
