<p>>This question rekindled my musings on the topic – how would Satoshi prove that he is Satoshi, what proof would be</p>
<p><em>>definitive</em>? To most the question may be of rhetorical nature as in their mind, the proof is easy – all Satoshi would</p>
<p>>need to do is either sign a message with a private key from one of the early blocks or just move some of those early coins.</p>
<p>A more important question than HOW someone could prove they were Satoshi, is WHY would anyone prove they were Staoshi? Seriously, Satoshi is over. The alias did what it was supposed to do and whoever created it has no more use for it. It's gone. No one was left with any legitimate need to know who he is, no one was left with any means of finding out, no one was left with any means of proving it, Satoshi himself was left with no reason to ever come forward, and that's that. That is a successful conclusion. Why try to turn it into a failure?</p>
