I can’t get past the fact that Hal Finney lived around the corner from someone called “ Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto”

I know coincidences happen but that’s one hell of a coincidence

Given Back and Finney's close-ish relationship, that same fact could have permeated to Back, and would be a further reason for him to use the name. That said, it's all pure speculation so :shrug:?.

Is it a coincidence? Or is it really bad opsec from someone who was otherwise pretty good at it? Or was it really good opsec and someone wanted to plant little clues that it was finney?
