Hi Adrian,
unfortunately, he seems in 'hiding' and I even heard he's no longer involved in bitcoin, now developed and funded by a libertarian group ...
just in case, perhaps my hacker friend Jaromil knows more ...

Hi Michel,
Thanks for getting back to me. I'm working on a story about Satoshi Nakamoto and Bitcoin. I saw that Nakamoto posted on the p2p foundation forum a while ago and was wondering if you might have had any communication with him after or before that post. Obviously, he's quite mysterious, and I'd be interested in hearing about your interactions with him, if there were any. And if you know anyone who might know more, please do let me know.
Best,
Adrian

I was at the BItcoin Conference this weekend. The lead Bitcoin developer, Gavin, said his only contact with Sathoshi was through conventional software development channels and email exchanges from anonymous accounts. Gavin hasn't heard from Sathoshi since he handed the project off to him a few months ago. The general consensus among conference attendees was that "Sathoshi" was a native English speaker and highly skilled developer/cryptographer who probably has worked for large institutions (intelligence, corporate, etc.) The conference tshirts said "I am Sathoshi" on the front. I don't think he's going to pop up anytime soon. On Tue, Aug 23, 2011 at 10:13 AM, Michel Bauwens <[email protected]>wrote:
