Unrelated, but it still blows my mind- that the creator of this cryptosystem thats now worth $50B is still unknown.

He has to have been lived somewhere, gone to school somewhere, studied, worked somewhere, left some track somewhere about who he was.

Dave Kleiman - Look him up. It's actually all a kind of sad and sordid story. The myth is far better than the reality.

I think that story was largely debunked. It even turned into a dicey situation for gwern, though I respect his commitment to chasing down a lead.
